It’s not so scary if the dog can rout straight, and doesn’t try to take too big a bite with each pass.
if the pup isn’t confident then it might be best to do it yourself Woltz.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
So I looked closely at the piece of Greenstone Mallee today and it's too twisted to use unfortunately.* I'll have to source another blank for a fretboard.* I also noticed that the neck blank has shifted a bit since it was thicknessed.* Even though it isn't dead flat I'll still progress forward with it because it's only a very small amount of bow and*I'll check for any sign of twisting tomorrow.

I haven't done it yet. I've just been debating between two methods for the access hole.
Haha he doesn't come anywhere near the shed when the routing is happening because I have the ryobi shop vac going for dust collection and he's scared of vacuum cleaners for some unknown reason. So I guess it'll have to be me that does it.

Despite dragging my feet a bit I've got some stuff done. I need to get this one close to being ready for the finish so I can turn my full attention to the Rick build.
Cavities routed and a test fit of the neck template. It's a little loose but considering how cold it is at the moment and with low humidity I'm happy with that, less chance that in summer there becomes an issue with the neck pocket being too tight.
And checking again that my choice of hardware colour is going to look ok.
I need to rout the truss rod cavity in the neck then I can put my router back in the table and do the roundover.
