Thanks Woltz for the info and advice.
I have Triton Tables and equipment except a band saw so that is why I thought I would give it a go. The Mens shed is a couple of K away "in case of emergency".
I did consider the router jig trick but the timber is very flat so I bought a belt sander for Xmas. I need to sand about 3 mm off the thickness so that gives a bit of leeway. Progress so far is promising.
I think building a neck is a bit beyond me. I expect to be be contacting Adam.
I will start a Diary shortly so we can talk then.

By the way, I only found your build yesterday so I have a bit of reading to do. Looks great! Love the colour.
