Here I have the headstock veneer pressed up against the headstock with my fingers. Essentially we want to wedge the nut in place between the fret board and the veneer.

We are going to start putting the neck together now:
Clamping the veneer to the headstock, in total there will be 10 clamps required. Wait for the titebond to become a little bit tacky so that it doesn’t slip and slide as the clamps are put into place.

Finishing the initial stages of the back of the guitar body. Using a router I remove the excess wood from the back of the body of the guitar using a straight router bit with a bearing for this purpose. Working with the grain not against it or there will be chip-out which will damage the guitar.
Place the body of the guitar back into the mould to receive the sound board, since the guitars may not go all the way into the mould, prop up the back /bottom of the guitar with angled ply wood so that the guitar sits evenly through out the mould.
Use a set square if necessary to assist with the levelling process.
