nice job with the shaping Scoop!
on the backside all is looking good
from the front
from the back
closer up
there are these little marks here right between the rings. Pretty tiny, so I am not so worried. I have sanded past any rasp marks, so I think maybe I have been a bit heavy with the sand paper and those really soft bits between the rings have just "chipped" out. We'll see how we go with the finer sandpaper.
Lets get on to the headstock
design drawn - nothing too original, but I have plans. Oh yes people ... I have plans. Mwahahaha
checking it out - yep. Lets grab that jigsaw.
Oh no. oh no. Vibration was horrible. Kept jumping out of the cheap-ass Workmate knockoff. I may have to invest in a coping saw for Build Two when that comes around.
Actually this looks bad, but with the plans that I have (yes, those plans) I don't think this will be an issue
But dear baby Jesus it looks so horrible at this stage.
still a couple of small flat spots that need to be sorted. Not a big deal.
and the backside got the same treatment obviously
just a little kink in the curve in front of the 5th hole.
So this is where I am up to now. Whats ahead immediately is much neck sanding and body sanding before I get to the staining stage.
Hey ScoopD, this is one of the most comprehensive build diaries I've seen, keep it up with the excellent pictures.
And I really like the rounded headstock... you should patent that!
Cheers,

Yes I think you can claim the rounded headstock as a first, never seen this before and looks fantastic!

I think Scoop must be related to Wierdy? I sense a kindred spirit of immense detail here! So looking forward to seeing this project develop!
