as long as the distance between the press post and drill centre is at least about 140mm you should be fine. You will find out once it's marked up

Oh it's well big enough, I was being a smartass. Lol.
nice progress Pabs,i really like the headstock
Cheers Stan.
+1 on the headstock :)
I made the exact same errors on my first few neck pockets. It's very easy to dip the router on that front edge.
I make my neck pocket templates like this, it extends fast the front edge so it's I'm possible for the router to dip and cut a low spot.
Headstock looks great Pabs. My first neck route was even more if a mess. That's the great thing about bolt ons ;). Going to be a killer axe!
cheers,
Gav.
Thanks Gav.
That's very clever, Dan. I will do that from now on I think. Didn't dip the router though, template plus large router base was very stable. Made an even more rookie mistake and failed to check the cutter depth after I had tightened the base. Must have bumped it when I was doing it up. Started to cut a little and realised it was too low. Doh.
nice template idea Dan.
Easy trap Pablo, best to check the depth every time you hit the GO button.
I've seen a blank ruined from the bearing not touching the template edge
Lookin' top notch Pabs.
Thanks Barge.
Bridge turned up today, so I got to start marking out for string throughs.

Accidentally took the screws home, so drilling tomorrow (after I measure three or four more times). Fingers crossed.
Made a decision on the jack too.

Side mount it is. Which means I had to drill between the two cavities.
