Go Bar Deck Plans

I am wondering if the 3 4 baltic birch plywood on the bottom and the top is think enough.

Go bar deck plans.

There are no critical dimensions involved in the construction of the go bar deck but if you want to use commercially available dished work boards 2 in diameter and commercially available go bars 2 long it is best to keep all dimensions at 2. My next step is gluing the braces to the top and back of the guitar but how to clamp them properly is one of those challenges. This is a great way to add some extra seating without adding a large bulky table. With the addition of some treated wood to match your deck you can easily add a bar that looks like it was built in with the original deck.

The go bar deck will seat on my workbench when i am using it. The inside space is adjustable from 0 to 32 this allows me to use the go bar deck for gluing the top and back to the sides. If you have a deck then you already have the beginnings of a perfect outdoor bar. I split mine from a straight grained scrap hickory board.

The holes for the corner rods go through both the the deck and the oak. Or you can make the go bars out of wood. Go bars for go bar deck. I also have some 1 4 inch baltic birch plywood.

Stack and glue two of the pieces together and stack and glue the other four together the extra thickness is required to give the go bar deck base sufficient stiffness. In guitar building this is key for tasks such as clamping the internal bracing in place more on that in future posts where it is difficult. The upper lower decks are 3 4 inch baltic ply reinforced with 1 by 2 red oak braces in an x pattern across the center of the decks on the outside. I am building a go bar deck and have 3 4 inch baltic birch 24x24.

By bending fiberglass or wood rods between the upper and lower decks it is easy to put pressure just about anywhere you need it. Length is more critical when using wood than when using fiberglass and having a few different lengths for different operations is a good idea. Go bar deck assembly from a sheet of 3 4 plywood cut six pieces each 2 feet x 2 feet. A gobar clamping deck is a nifty system for clamping.

Making a go bar deck building a guitar poses many challenges and most of the problems encountered have more than one solution.
