Carving the neck is taking time! Almost done the first three facets. I'm using a Japanese saw rasp (Shinto).

Thanks. I need to carve the bugger first! Yikes!!!

This feels like a thread hijack! ? I glued the fretboard to the neck, I think that's making the neck part 1 finished. Just need to install the truss ...

@frocesterbill Yeah, watching the videos a few times to ensure I make no mistakes does slow me down a bit, with practice you could probably make somet...

@frocesterbill - I look forward to seeing your build. Thank you, there's a couple of bits I'm not happy with but I think it look ok. I'm glueing the ...

Profiled the neck, the truss rod is in and glue drying on the wooden strip. 🙂

Cut the neck on the bandsaw and glued some ears on this evening.

@frocesterbill Haha, yeah I have one now, and it came in really useful! ?

Ordered the kit from this site. I have an exam tomorrow (digital forensics) and then I can start thinking about a plan for building. Can't say I'm goi...

I made it this evening. The method I used (may help others, I dunno): I cut it rough on the bandsaw, used a straight edge as a guide then routed it ni...

@markbailey I wasn't clear enough, I am making it longer than the neck but not as long as the one you made. I'll watch the video again. Thanks.

Humbucker, body, control cavity, neck taper and headstock patterns. Almost ready to do some real making! Woot! Update: 22/10/19 - finished makin...

Quickly made a neck caul. I used cork for the strips, hopefully this should work nicely. I'm going to make the patterns next: Body, headstock, humbuc...

@jonathan-auckland Thanks for the advice. In the past I've made it up as I've went along so I'm hoping by planning things out and following the videos...

@darrenking Very comprehensive answer, thanks!
