RE: Then a BAD thing happened👎🤨

@brie Not answering your question, but I try to nibble away in smaller passes with the router (maybe 4-5mm added depth per pass). It takes more time, but I think it reduces the risk for tearout.

RE: Neck blank thickness for scarf headstock

@dhawkes1gmail-com I would say 25 mm is a bit too thin for a set neck. You want the gluing surfaces to be as big as possible. On my first build I laminated the heel area with two 20mm pieces and then ...
