He might just be cleaning up the edges and / or the fillet on the bottom of the axe.

yeah probably a good guess Pest. When did DB get wifi in the naughty cupboard under the stairs bro ?

Nah he never got it, I did it all myself, found there was an ethernet line running up the stairs so I just tapped into it

EDIT Hey can we have the strikethrough BBcode enabled here? I can't make the post as how I wanted it to look...

Just the profile, Woks.
Got a big ass pattern router bit that is 65mm long. Big enough to do the profile in one pass, saves a lot of messing around on the bobbin sander....

With a 65mm bit spinning at 50 million RPM it is wise to be scared of the tool... :)

Profile routered and sanded!

good work DB looks great. Will this have binding ? no doubt it will !

Looking good DB. The pattern router bit sounds scary, take care!

Great build. Looking forward to see how this build progresses.waiting in anticipation

Been a while, but with building jigs, Christmas etc etc this build has been a bit slow.

Now waiting for a few specialist toys to arrive so I can do me some funky carving on the Quilted Maple top.
When I get this done, I can get onto finessing the neck join and generally going mental on the build. :)

Meanwhile, I have been testing the jigs I built on the Bass that I may or may not be building...........
