Sounds like your Mum is not worth messing with ! If she is strong she will be really good at sanding hahah

looks good Tadeo, have you got a photo of the whole headstock ?
make sure you cut at least 1-2mm on the WASTE side of the line, then files and sandpaper you should get the final shape nice, smooth and rounded

Hey Tadeo,
Here are a few pics showing how it done
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Pretty straightforward. Cut off strips with some scissors - take your time and make sure that you have a good coverage - just needs to be one layer - overlap edges of each of the strips so that you get connectivity between strips. Overlap the edges of the cavity slightly as well so that when you shield the cover you get connectivity. DB likes to put a line of solder along the edges to ensure that he has complete conductivity - I use a multimeter to check that I have conductivity at a couple of points. Given you are looking for a faraday's cage effect, it shouldn't matter if there is a small gap somewhere.
Be careful though - the edges are very sharp and it's easy to give yourself a nick.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the advice
