@russ cheers, it’s good from that angle, on the left though it’s literally paper thin, now with a small chip too so I’ll need to reprofile the edge and wrap the headstock with something to protect whi...

Took it down a little thinner than planned, as the tape slipped and I didn’t notice until it was too late, thankfully didn’t go through the veneer but it was pretty close!!! Attachment : E3A3F4E6...

@tej looks like you have put the clamps directly onto the headstock. Putting a solid block in between would be needed if you start with a thinner veneer. Moisture in the glue can cause a thin piece to...

Front laminate done, no slipping during clamping so the truss rod slot is nicely aligned 🙂 Now to trim and thin it down, a lot!!!! Attachment : FF385C3E-05CB-406E-ABDD-4BC4CB1B4327.jpeg ...

@mattbeels will take a few more, tend to get carried away with the practical but so pictures take a back seat!

Lookin great, more pics please @tej!

I forgot to install the side dots Side dots: check! Attachment : IMG_20210528_141250159.jpg

Hand sanding the radius, nearly there. Have to stop and get ready for music zoom then Acoustic Bliss. Attachment : 95469076-0F3B-45C5-977A-AB1D870DE4F6.jpeg

Routed the truss rod slot on the front headstock veneer and glued it on. It’s really thick and I want it at about half a mm so I’ll surface route it to thickness on the neck angle jig when it’s dry. G...

looking good

@mattbeels Well spotted you have a keen professional eye. I got carried away with the fret saw and didn’t look at the pencil mark. I will have to think of a cover up but it’s only a practice build bef...

Can anyone spot the mistake. A 21 and 9/10ths fretboard @rocknroller912

The piercing saw worked a treat to clear the glue in the fret slots, no where near as much in as I’d thought which was good. Anyway, the fret board is on, irritatingly not perfectly aligned but we’re ...

Looks great @tej!

I do like to do things the hard way. Radius the fretboard by hand. Can anyone spot the mistake. Thanks to @darrenking for instruction on how to sharpen the Nielsen scraper blade I’m cooking on gas now...
