Yes that's right! I like thin and flat wizard style necks. Can't play fat profiles for nuts!

Thanks for the response, I'm glad it's not just my eyes playing tricks on me!

Great vid, Simon.

cool video Simon, gives people who haven't shaped a neck and idea how much work is involved

love the Timbermate jar used for sanding rounded corners - nice work haha

Thanks guys. I discovered the time lapse function on my phone and have been using it so far.

Woks the timbermate jar is definitely useful for rounded parts!

Great video. I was holding my breath everytime you grabbed the chisel for fear it was going to catch and bite too deep.

Haha don't worry I go slow and take off little bits. I think the fast forwarded video makes it look much scarier.

Hi Simon, just did some catching up with this build. Amazing job mate, looks awesome, very inspirational.

How is your left hand after using that Shinto rasp so much? I know my fingers were almost raw after my sessions, and that's just working on pine. Yours would have been much worse working on harder timber.

I also liked the Timbermate tub sanding as well. I have an assortment of off-cuts of PVC pipe and pieces of dowel of different thicknesses to help with my sanding. "Necessity, the mother of invention."

Keep it up mate.

Thanks Robin. My left hand was alright. I used the rougher surface to carve the neck so my hand was on the finer side.

You could always get some gloves which could help.

I love the Shinto rasp! I bought one after you mentioned it on the superstrat build and they are awesome, but yeah, you could take a finger off if you aren't careful. I tend to wear a rigger's glove on my front hand to guide it as I work.
