This last week I have been concentrating on reducing the thickness of the headstock down to suit the machine heads. I marked out the finished depth of the headstock (15mm) and also the curved cut on the back of the neck. I then used a thin coping saw to cut back the headstock. I tried to leave around a 1mm to sand down as I knew that my sawing would be pretty wobbly. The coping saw was the best choice as you can angle the blade while cutting.
Marking out
Cutting in the vice...
Almost there...
Success!
For 'Phase 2' I handed over to one of my colleagues from work who used a belt sander to take back the hand cut to a clean curve with a smooth finish - Cheers Slash!
