Look what came today....
Now to recap the last couple of days.
I decided to route the neck pocket.
Hogging most of the meat out with a forstner bit.
Then disaster struck, i was finishing the last edge of the last pass and my mom came out to the garage, I was so focused that i didn't even notice her.
When she said something, It scared the crap out of me, I jumped, and the template shifted.
This is what i was left with.
So i routed it straight.
So i glued in a strip of mahogany and re-routed, It can support its own weight now,
The pocket was a little to shallow so i routed a recess in the back of the neck. While I was at it I thinned the back of the headstock.
Then I rigged up ghetto router sled to thin down the back of the neck ( Ignore the part closest to the nut)
Then i started to shape the back of the neck.
I went trapezoidal this time and Im glad i did.
