And another after
And after hand sanding at 180 and 220 all the sharper lines have gone away

Attachment 428
on the backside all is looking good
Attachment 433
from the front
Attachment 432
from the back
Attachment 431
closer up
Attachment 434
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
Attachment 437
design drawn - nothing too original, but I have plans. Oh yes people ... I have plans. Mwahahaha
Attachment 436
checking it out - yep. Lets grab that jigsaw.
Attachment 435
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.
Attachment 439
Actually this looks bad, but with the plans that I have (yes, those plans) I don't think this will be an issue
Attachment 438
But dear baby Jesus it looks so horrible at this stage.
so first things first lets grab the orbital and sort some shit out
Attachment 446
cleaned up nicely
Attachment 447
yep - saved. Now is the time to EMPLOY THE PLAN!!!!!
Attachment 448
grab the file and ...
Attachment 445
round that sucka - I have never seen that before so I am claiming it as mine
Attachment 450
still a couple of small flat spots that need to be sorted. Not a big deal.
Attachment 451
and the backside got the same treatment obviously
Attachment 452
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!
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!
