Thanks Trevor.

First day of work is done, i did a mock build and everything looks good.
Then started sanding the body. Ive never done any sanding before, so was a little learning curve. Started using a Orbital, but was finding it hard to keep the sanding along the grain, so i switched and did all the sanding by hand instead. Felt like I had much more control.

I did 120 grit, then 240 grit, but i only had some 600 after that. so i decided to just try and do 600 straight from 240.
i think it turned out okay. Im sure if i had 400 inbetween i might have been easier, but im quite happy with the result still.
