SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY!
moar pics
its finished now
so pics of the finished thing when tomorrow

mock up?

me planing the maple tops so that they will line up well

chiseled away at the tennon before putting the maple top on..

headstock tiem

yes there are a few woods used in the back of the headstock, because i believe on conserving woods and the wood used is the mahogany from the body to pad out the back..which allowed for the brutal as hell neck volute

heres the first coat of stain on

looking great! dude. i like this pics
it seems like you have an access to the whole workshop there that is so great.
in my case i am stuck with few hand tools at home, got to to make it with what i got :/

next thing you got to build is 6 string bass 35 or maybe even 35.5 scale

cheers
yeah, i have access and premission to use it all now im in my first year of college

its finished totally now, so some pics later on today

i had to mill down the bridge and its base plate today due to the action being massive lol.
i like my action on bass's reasonabley high, but this was like 10mm LOL!
so i milled down the base plate by 3mm, the nut by 3mm and the saddles will have 2mm removed form each tomorrow when i have access to the milling machine..but due to there being no technician there tonight i couldnt as im under 18.

cheers for patience!
