So the vac draws a vacuum in the bucket, dust goes in through the white hose and the pressure drop as it exits the hose drops it out of the airstream into the waiting bucket for collection. DO you get much blow through into the vac itself?
Yes that's right. There are better designs involving a simple cyclone but this was easy enough for me. I'll take a pic of the insides soon.
Yes the vac is still quite powerful too despite the bucket. Check YouTube for some diy dust extractors.
Just cut out the neck today. I had to use my hand saw for most parts because the jigsaw kept burning the wood.

The flames here aren't as great as the top but they should look much better once a finish is applied.
I also managed to route the neck out. Curly maple chips easily and I had 2 spots on the headstock where I had chips. :(
I'm not sure if you can see, but the end of the neck is made for a 24 fret fingerboard with an overhang.

wow looks awesome Simon, how come you are working on necks and not at work ?
Haha the reason why I'm able to build so quickly is because I'm taking some time off before I start work in September. Sadly from then on I probably won't be able to do any more and will most likely disappear from this forum! :(((Quote:

surely you will have time to keep building after your job starts, no where near as many hours no doubt

No matter how many clamps one has, there will still be a need for more clamps....
So damn true!Quote:
