Yeah I saw that, I'll probably grab one at some point, but I'm quickly running out of budget at the moment so pinching every possible penny.

So... real heart in the mouth stuff today, I cut my truss rod channel. Apart from a very small wobble at the heel end during the initial pass, I'm pretty happy with it.

Now I just need to locate my fingerboard with some pins so I can start cutting the neck shape out. But not today.. I need a lie down after this
