keep us posted

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

Okay! So the weather finally cooperated and let me actulaly GET to my wood shop this weekend. I was a day and a half late so my shop time got cut pretty severely.

Here's what I got done though.

I wanted to get the neck tapered and get the fretboard attached. This is the template attached to the neck blank before routing.

EDIT: Oops - There is a strip of ultra sticky two sided indoor carpet tape (super thin) between the template and the wood.



And here's the neck nice and flush tapered.



There wasn't a lot of material to be taking off, but check out the huge mess that padouk likes to make.



My trusty vacuum cleaner "George" will fix that shit up.



Here's a pic of my fret slotting blade. This thing probably chopped a solid 4 hours off my build time and the accuracy of the cuts is way beyond what I could originally do by hand.



And here's the finished fretboard with some naptha to bring out the flame.



Here's the fretboard all clamped up - next step will be to flush the board to the neckblank and route the neck pocket.

Looking great Brian! Really looking forward to seeing it finished. How do you run the 'board across the sawblade? (setting distance, etc.)

BTW, do you have any complete build walkthroughs/tutorials?

EDIT: Also, I have that same router.

Thanks again guys - I should have more progress over the holidays as I'll be around the shop for 4 days or so. Why not EMG's though? My other option would be a pair of Duncan JB-7's.

Levelhead - In the pic with the fretboard with the naptha on it, you can also see my "shooting board" (not sure why it's called that....). It rides on the slots on top of the tablesaw and has a slot cut thru it. You can see the teeth of the slotting saw peeking out. I put doublesided tape on the one of the panels so the fretboard would stick in the proper spot.

I dig the nice cheap Black and Decker - no complaints at all so far! I also built an 8 string that you can check out here.
