Jehle Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Try sanding "one stroke at a time" rather than "back and forth". Eg: lift the sanding block off the work, and start from the beginning with each stroke. I think you read my mind or sent that message telepathically. That's what I did last night! It didn't take long to do. I just took my time and ran the board 2 or 3 complete times across a known and verified flat board with sand paper stuck to it. After a couple passes like that I would check the neck to see if it was straight and flat. Sorry for the low light picture, but here's me checking it where I had accidentally rounded it. It's perfect all the way down the neck now. I owe you for all the good advice! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I DID IT! Ormsby is duh man! Okay, I'm prolly too excited about some wood shavings, but when this happened I nearly jizzed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Haha, excellent. Its amazing how good it feels when it shaves off like that hey! Now you need to get your spokeshave tuned nicely so you get piles of curls when you make your next neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
