I made it this evening. The method I used (may help others, I dunno):I cut it rough on the bandsaw, used a straight edge as a guide then routed it nice and straight along the edges:

Job done! 🙂

@markbaileyI wasn’t clear enough, I am making it longer than the neck but not as long as the one you made. I’ll watch the video again. Thanks.

Humbucker and headstock pattern.

Almost ready to do some real making! Woot!

Quickly made a neck caul. I used cork for the strips, hopefully this should work nicely.

@jonathan-aucklandThanks for the advice. In the past I’ve made it up as I’ve went along so I’m hoping by planning things out and following the videos I will be a bit more successful. I don’t mind making mistakes, that’s how…   Read more»

@darrenkingVery comprehensive answer, thanks!

So… a new blade arrived, I fit it… I set the table nice and square and the bandsaw cuts in nice straight lines. Thanks all. 🙂

Made the headstock angle jig today. I figured that I am only using it to clamp the neck and route the headstock angle so I made it a little bit shorter.

Fretboard caul next.

Yesterday I made the neck heel angle jig.

@markbaileyI am happy to post the entire ‘blog’ here and not to the wider Internet? I find that when I write stuff down it makes me do things better… weird but that’s what I am like! 🙂

@markbaileyThanks. 👍🏻

@frocesterbillThanks, must have missed the pdf! 😬 anyway, I have ordered a 3/8 blade from Draper. I’ll report back when I’ve installed and tested it. 😀

@syntholaboThat’s a really good video, thanks. Incidentally the blade snapped today! I’m going to try a wider blade take look at the setup.
