Another suggestion I would like to see sometime would be how to do different neck profiles such as D, C etc. I can really see that this will be a skill in itself and may take some time to develop it a...

I designed a jig many years ago to enable me to machine a radius on to some long vertical blind sections using just a hand router. It would be pretty simple to adapt the design to achieve the same on ...
