@peebee It happens. I tend to put a layer or 2 of masking tape around the edges if the neck pocket template where the router bit bearing will ride. It makes for a super tight neck pocket. Sometimes to...

@darrenking, thanks for the offer of veneers, I’ll remember for next time, got some on order for now, very kind though.

@boo, I think this is what I’ll try as the gap is small and when I fit the neck on centre there is a gap both sides! Annoying but I suppose it was going to happen at some point! I am going to get some...

Welcome back @cheesewhisk! I was wondering where you were... It’s hard to tell on an iphone but did you have to fill and re-route the slot? Either way it looks good and keep on keepin’ on!

Cheers Matt, been busy with work and not had anything to report until now. I didn’t have to fill as I only skimmed the first pass so it wasn’t that bad

@cheesewhisk Ah ok, cool. Obviously not a big deal as it won’t be seen later, so good job on fookin’ up!

Looks great. Routers the fastest way to a cock up. Love and hate em!

@peebee Glue some veneer to each side of your neck. When the glue has dried, use some 80 grit sandpaper on a hard, flat block to sand them down until the neck fits tight in the pocket. Make sure you s...

@peebee If I make a mistake like that it try and fit a solid piece of wood into the pocket instead of a veneer, because glued on veneers don’t route or carve very easily. It’s liable to tear because t...

Try cutting a thin bit on your bandsaw, double side tape it onto a lump of wood and use a block to sand..........
