I always bite off more then I can chew, but I am learning a ton.
I was able to get some more work on the neck. I roughed cut the neck on the bandsaw.
I cleaned most of the excess of with the drum sander. On the tenon I used sand paper on a board to get it flat.
I finished smoothing out the neck with a palm sander and hand sanding.
The neck is 80% shaped now.
Next step is the truss rod route, tenon, glue on the ears, and so on. I going to order the truss rod, fingerboard, frets, binding, binding router bit, and inlay from Stewmac. I going to see if my buddy has some router bits that I dont have. I need the 3/16 bit for the truss rod route and some others. I am also going to make the templates for the carve. I have been practicing on some scrap wood.
