Do you sell the kits you make?

The trick with necks is to use a template and router.
Flat profile Fender type bolt ons are an easy way to begin.

Have a trawl through the non pitbull section and you will find a few of my builds and the processes are documented there

Check this thread out, shows the process from a couple of chunks of tree to finished Axe

Thanks so much mate!

I'm really sorry to bring this router bit stuff again, but you said I need a 1/2" and a 3/4" bit for the cavaties, and a 3/4 for the body. Pardon my total stupidity but is the measurement of the bit the diameter or the length?

Hey Andrew, no stress mate about questions, that would be the length. Make sure you work out if your router can take 1/2 or 1/4 " size router bit shafts. If your router takes 1/2" shafts you can get a collet to use 1/4" shafts but there's the risk of a bit of slip so try and match the size of the shaft to the router chuck
Once you make one or two passes cutting a body edge with a template you should be able to remove the template and use the cut edge as the pattern following edge

My bad, i should have been more precise in my description...
Those are diameter measurements.

As Woks pointed out, make sure you get the correct shaft size to fit the collet of your router too.

[wokkaboy]

oh ok DB they are diameter, then what length bits would you recommend DB ? I've got about a 10mm, 25mm and think its 40mm length bits

Thanks guys. I'm compiling a shopping list now, ill post it shortly and see if you can see anything missing.

no worries Andrew, if your router takes 1/2" shafts then go for that size bit shaft. Make sure your collet spanner can tighten the bit well is very important
