Next job is to mark out the plenum base and cut and drill the required holes...
And Bazinga! One completed plenum ready for use

Clever. Much easier than setting up an angled support to rout off.

Nice work around DB. You can reuse the plenum for any other neck pockets with a break angle

looks excellent DB, what you routing on the router table now ? Body looks almost 50mm thick but no doubt that will come down when you shape the arch top

Very nice. For a second I thought there was a horizontal split in the cap. Nope, trick of the light. Don't let that router smell your fear... You are the toolmaster, it is merely the tool. :P
