@robin Wow you are right! Just measured my bass drum where I made my blicks and measured 24 inches. Learned something new.

@clinton borrow his 12 inch tom drum My OCD engineering mind has gone into overdrive now. Isn't a 12" drum going be a 6" radius, rather than the 12" radius you want for your sanding blocks.

@russ Thanks! Feels like good progress!

@clinton Thanks! No marker dots on the fretboard, just the side only!

@jaxty Looking Good. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@jaxty awesome looking fretboard. No marker dots? Or just side dots on this fretboard. Nice grain flow.

Here is another tip. Making radius sanding blocks. If you ever happen to know a drummer that will let you borrow his 12 inch tom drum, great! Disassemble the skins and double side some tape on it, pla...

@clinton Got that done last night too! Attachment : IMG_1677.jpg

@jaxty Right on! Good to know. Time to fret.

@clinton Thanks for the tips! I was able to get it completed last night, with patience and gentle pressure.

@tv101 I will try my best to think of it that way! Every time I come back into the kitchen from my shop in the garage, my wife says I must love sanding, because I'm covered in sawdust... I just tell ...

Thanks all! Basically, use the block on the fretboard, not the fretboard on the block, check center lines, and check measurements often. Patience is the name of the game. I need to stop seeing peopl...

@jaxty I agree with everything @tv101 @edwin and Robin have said. You should check the measurements constantly and keep reapplying scribbled pencil on the fretboard so you can see where you are sandin...

Take measurements regularly (eg. with a vernier caliper) at the 4 corners and at the 12th fret left and right and keep checking if the board is flat with a straight edge. Takes time, but you should be...
