Week 10 – Blocks and Neck

Posted on April 15, 2015December 1, 2019 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Fitting neck and end blocks

  • Plane blocks so that bottom is flush with bottom of jig
  • Had to plane chamfers into sides of the neck block
  • Had to plane down the contact edges so they are flush with the top and bottom of the sides
  • Glued blocks into place and held with “G” clamps

Neck

  • Started on the neck. Thickeness to 18mm then cut to jig dimensions on band saw ready to glue (did another crap cut on the bandsaw)
  • Using scarf joint method instead of laminating (is stronger but not necessarily easier)
