I started building a guitar a few years ago but wrecked a few pieces of wood in a friend’s drum sander. I shelved it after that.
I would like to pick up the pieces and try again. I have A. Willis’ book but it doesn’t lead to the kind of guitar I want to build. I have Stewmac’s plan for a prewar OM and want to be faithful to that. Is there a better book on this than the one I have? I’ve got a few pieces and parts roughed out but I’m a little uncertain of how to proceed. I’ve got lots of questions. I am not interested in a kit. I don’t mind building jigs and fixtures.
Thank you for any recommendations.

Here's a posting that I did for a small body all hog acoustic that I deeply love. The full CAD plan in pdf form is posted as well as details of the construction.
