Fret Board
Started shaping fret board curve. Needs to match curve radius of sanding block (14′)
- Start by block planeing straight chamfers on either side of fretboard
- Work back to centreline, but don’t take any height off centre
- Once nearly at correct curve, sand with 80 then up to 180 to get smooth and curve
- Mark centre line and punch centre holes for pearl inlay using 6mm drill
- Glue inlays in place with super glue
Neck fitting
- Attach guitar to vacuum clamp and trace round dovetail jig with pen for the groove
- Michael drilled out the bulk of the wood using a wide drill (but slipped and took a chunk off the front!)
