The little mistake I made when I glued the fretboard on, turned out not being all that much of a problem.
I milled off the surplus on the sides of the neck. Now it is perfectly flush to the fretboard.




Plus I made a template for the neckpocket.
That's all the progress I made in two weeks time...  :-[

The lessons are only once in every two weeks. And it's 3,5 hours. Most of the time we (me and my fellow course participants) are talking about music...  :-X

Don't feel bad about the time, you have other obligations. It's coming along well, you'll get there.

That's coming along really nicely...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I didn't know I had it in me either ;D
Patience is not my strongest point. And I'm putting it mildly...

Having said that; BaCH has been training that characteristic of mine too  :rolleyes:

SXSW!?  You ought to come along this year and roadie for him!  You would have great time - Dave is just about 45 minutes south as well.

I'd love to but he travels here because his Mum still lives here and then to Austin on his way back to his (now) home in the the UK. He has had quite a good career over there he tells me.
