    Also filed the fret ends.
    .... so how did you shape the foot of the neck - sandpaper?

    +1 for the use of pegs to steady the headstock template... seems so obvious once I noticed it!

    The foot of the neck was sanded by hand with a 180 g and a sanding block. It did not need much taken off.
