a Friday night and Saturday of sanding at least 2 of each...180, 220, 240, 320, 400 & 0000 steel wool
(**the sound of basswood hitting the pavement**) uh oh! a combination of me placing the sealed body balanced precariously and within reach of a 1 year old and 3 year old and a 1 year old and 3 year old being themselves!!!

Ok so, I haven't done much woodworking since yer 10 and i'm pretty sure I went backwards since then. Don't let this man near a saw!
drew the head stock cut the way Adam shows in the video, tried to cut it...ended up like this....
oh well nothing that sanding for a long time wont fix
ta daa
...followed by more sanding and smoothing of the neck.
I'm not totally satisfied yet will revisit on another day.....

bummer about the body hitting the pavement, basswood is pretty soft. Try and iron and wet cloth you may lessen the size of the dents

I used timber mate filler and lightly sanded those parts back starting at 240, then 320 then 400 again. Then resealed. It came out ok.

well done Andy, as DB says there's always a workaround.
In the meantime leave the body and neck somewhere safe so the kids don't knock off the bench again !

Good progress Andy. Yes, and watch out for the terror toddlers! Any object of any importance will draw them like a magnet until the item has been dropped, chewed, eaten, thrown, drawn on or all of the above!
