True - could also be paralax, but I think DB's getting artsy.

Necks can be tricky first time round, but if you have the right tools and templates it's not rocket science..

What you will need list.
Templates for body,neck and fretboard. Pablopepper is the go to guy for templates.
Router and appropriate bits for truss rod groove and flush trimming.
Jigsaw.
Rasps.
Spokeshave.(optional)
FBH for those times things need some persuading :p (thats a joke, Joyce)
First time round I would reccomend using a pre slotted fret board.

Then there are tools like radius sanding block, fretting hammer, fret nippers, crowning files, notched straight edge to name a few.

From memory, I did a how to thread on neck building.... Will try and find it and post a link

Here is a link to one of my builds where I show how I build my necks.

Bazinga - does that give me enough time out of the naughty corner to say Bunnings, Tru-Oil, poly and nitro in one sentence? Or would be adding Iceman be too much? ;).

That would earn you the dubious honour of sharing the cupboard under the stairs with the Pest....
You really don't want to share with a smelly teenager, do you? :p

Update time..

In between glue drying, finishes curing and a bad case of the CBF's due to the lurgy I did a bit more work on the neck.

That's looking the Biz!

A little bit of body/ neck profiling..
