Progress on neck

This is a bad, blurry pic of a nice crisp neck about half ready. I
tend to use the small planes more and more - along with the knife and
the chisels. So far no files or sandpaper.

Clamps removed

The overnight clamping went fine. Joints are tight and the neck's
gonna be fun to plane and carve.

I must consider fretboard material. And try my jig!

Glueing sides to top, and neck

I thought I was going to put the neck on hold until I could get to my
bandsaw, but during childrens hour on tv I cut three pieces with a
couple of japanese hand saws - in the pic you can see them laminated
together lengthwise. And I finished shaping the braces and the bridge
patch, so I glued the sides to the top.

It's a wound no-name string, probably C. And as I was wrapping the
string it struck me that I forgot to put a dozen small screws around
the edge of the solera... I will do that before fitting the back.

I think progress has been good this week. Hopefully I can get the neck
going during the weekend.
