After after having to be at work two days this week and the cold, snow, at the beginning of the week, finally got back to the geeet today. So started the practice neck. Learned that I need a clamping ...

Just looked at my Bandsman build - only 10mm from the neck pocket to the back of the body - as Matt says think it’ll work....

@peebee I think you‘ll be fine...

It’s about 12mm thick under the neck pocket, but it’s the sides of the pocket that are thin, because of the pick up rout, they are about 8mm, there is full depth before the pick up and all of the back...

@Peebee. Kudos on the carve! Looks great. Quality building you got there. Your ducks are lining up nicely and this guitar looks like it will be so comfortable to play. Amazes me the potential Mark unl...

@peebee 40mm isn’t too bad, there are thinner ones out there for sure. What‘s the thickness of the bottom of your neck pocket? 10mm minimum will do and judging from the photos it looks like you have ...

Thanks Matt, it is 40mm thick, I think that the area that maybe too thin is the neck pocket and how much glue contact area there is, but still toying with using it. A bit more done, carved the belly c...

Looking very good Peebee. 🎸🙏🎶🙂

A bit more finessing today. I adjusted the carve on the lower horn, made it deeper than I finished it yesterday. I think also for the real body I'm not sure that I would do the carve on the top horn.....

Go for it an post loads of pics!

Yes go for it @Robin, I watched Marks live stream carving again, its fairly straight forward and looks great. I will be back at it today!

@peebee Looking good man, keep going.

The carve is looking good Peebee, I might just do the same myself.

@peebee Great job!

Looking real good!

Good job @peebee Glad to hear you were able to work around that neck joint problem! Looks like you’ve got some carving to do, best of luck!

Some progress today. Only balls up was routing the full depth of the pick up before the neck pocket, but luckily managed to rout the neck pocket to full depth as the body is thinner than a real one, b...

I think the blank will have to remain as a practice piece as it is bowed and there are a couple, admittedly small, splits in it. Don't give up on it Peebee, I'm having fun with my bit of scrap. At...

I think the blank will have to remain as a practice piece as it is bowed and there are a couple, admittedly small, splits in it. Still have to cut and carve it yet so plenty of time to mess it up! I ...
