I then did the same process for the bottom section and used the top cut out as a template cut out with the jigsaw and then did a rough cut out of the neck pocket on the top section and placed them together to get an idea of the overall thickness and make sure it all lined up.

Once the glue had dried, sanded off the old varnish with a belt sander (probably should have scrapped it off, but we live and learn) and then sanded it flat with a block of wood and some 80 grit sandpaper. Then did a rough mark out of the shape And cut it out with a jigsaw

Started this project at the beginning of April, during lockdown and with the majority of jobs around the house done. Cut a couple of lengths of the oak for the top - And after lining up the grain as best as possible, glued them together

Hi all, New to the forum and have been looking through the different builds, some very impressive work on here. I am on with my 6th build at the moment, first was a kit guitar to get used to doing finishes and setup, which was a few years ago. Work life kept me too busy to do much building. Having been made redundant from my career as an IT Manager back in May last year, I decided it was time to build a workshop/shed in my back garden and then did some jobs around the house that hadn't been done due to work. One of the jobs was the master bedroom, where I made some built in wardrobes to replace the old early 1900s Oak wardrobe we had in there. Said wardrobe was then dismantled and put in my workshop for projects...
