@wayne_f Nice work! great video too 🙂

Nice video @wayne_f  , I’m not sure that making the neck is the hardest bit, but I do enjoy it though.

Cool @wayne_f, that mahogany insert on your bandsaw is pretty sweet too!

@wayne_f looks good! Nice progress and thanks for the vid:-)

Looks good @wayne_f. On the next fillet just get it close but not fitting in the slot. Then sand it to the final thickness with a sanding block to get the snug fit you want. 

Hey @wayne_f, where do you live in Mi?
I was born and raised in Petoskey…

Hey there @wayne_f! Welcome to the forum and great job so far on all you’ve done. 👍

Routing the headstock angle revealed a defect exactly at the edge of where the headtock will be. Maybe I can get some grain filler to fix it. @wayne_f It may not be a problem, just keep going and see what…   Read more»

@wayne_f  Routing the headstock angle revealed a defect exactly at the edge of where the headtock will be. Maybe I can get some grain filler to fix it. What finish are you intending to put on your headstock?  If you’re…   Read more»

@Wayne_F @robinSomehow that never occurred to me. I could add maybe 1/4″ of height and that would probably take care of it. Thank you. I’ve had a lot of help and advice from this group, I’m glad to be able…   Read more»

@wayne_f Getting the blanks flat and level is essential I think and it’s one of the hardest things to do, remembering that the fretboard will be glued to one of the faces. Surface routing is a good way forward, perhaps…   Read more»

@Wayne_F That little practice neck was worth doing, and I like the shape of the headstock. Would it be an option to make your headstock routing jig just a little deeper, so that your router base would be higher than…   Read more»

Here’s a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly. @wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some excess off or make…   Read more»

This is looking really good. I hope the lacquer turns out good for you. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Thanks @Wayne_F , its got all the lacquer that its getting, so I’m working my way up to polishing now…   Read more»

@Wayne_F Yikes! That must have been a lot of work to cut through. I’m envious of your 6″ blank haha It wasn’t as hard work as it looks, I had cut 2″ deep from each side with a circular saw…   Read more»

  Yikes! that’s a lot of work, @Wayne_F  on yer shoulder, no doubt. I was fortunate to find a  couple of guitar builders whom sent me a couple of neck blanks at a fantastic price…2 3/8″ x 4 1/4″ Quarter-sawn…   Read more»

@Wayne_F Then I’ll throw a new blade on there and split the blank. Wish me luck just in case. You don’t neex any luck, you’ve got all you need there, I’m envious of your bandsaw. Mine can only cut about…   Read more»

@wayne_f Looking good Wayne, keep going. 

@wayne_f
Great start Wayne. Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? I just can’t seem to get mine perfectly even. 
🙏🎶🙂🎸

@wayne_f Youve made a great start there, looks like you’re very organised and methodical, thats a good way to work. On my first guitar, I kind of made it up as I went along, making templates and jigs as I…   Read more»
