    Hi Kick. You live on a boat?
    I'm guessing it is fairly large based on your work space!!

    Thanks guys for all the kind words! It sure was an exciting moment when I took of the clamp of the neck and body and I'm very happy with the result so far.

    I have to make some stand to hang the guitar to dry when I have applied more coats of the oil.

    And I have to say that I have only could have made it this far due to all your help, tips and advice. Thanks guys! You Rock!!

    Looking great, Kick!

    Must be a great when finally glueing the neck.
    And that flame looks killer! A lot better than on mine, haha!

    Looking sweet. It's a joy(but pretty bloody nerve wracking), when you get the neck on and see an almost complete guitar for the first time :-)

    It's obviously not quite the Red Widow you started out to build, but it really is looking very nice indeed. Do you still intend to colour the bindings, or are you sticking with the white?

    And how's the 3D printing going?
