I would have posted updates earlier, but after taking some pictures, the camera batteries died and I was lazy getting more. After that, I was doing the tummy cuts on these and my index finger got up close and personal with my angle grinder, which put my typing in the category of "Do it only if I must". But, I must say that I was able to make some great progress thanks to a friend of mine called ROSS:
With this I was able to shape headstocks and sand edges, which allowed me to do the top roundover:
I also used purely hand tools (chisels, gouge, and scraper) to shape the volutes, of which I am proud:
I have since installed threaded inserts in the necks and sanded the necks to 100 grit. I need to install fretboard markers before I do too much else (still need to buy them). I also need to get the dye for the tops, so progress on these might be a little slow for the next week or two.
