- Split in back of neck had opened up again.
- Sanded down side of neck so that side of fret board is flush with side of neck. Started with 150 then worked down to 180 grit
- Orbital sanded the front, back and sides with 120-150-180 grit
- Glued split in back of neck and taped up with masking tape to dry
- Filled gaps at base of neck and fret board
- Sanded head with orbital sander
- Using 180 grit, sand bevel round all sharp edges on body, neck & head then make radius (1mm only)
- Started thinking about bridge block designs

Fitting neck to body:
- Chiselled down dovetail joint till fitted to body (Michael did most of it)
- Then sanded down neck and used iron & wet cloth to remove vice marks in back of neck
- Sanded too much of neck joint to Michael had to re-fit (oops)
- Glue round both sides of dovetail join, fitted and clamped
- Took off excess from heel first ready for heel cap next week
