Today was a nice day, not too hot and certainly not too cold. I was able to make significant progress today, I can only imagine how much I would have gotten finished if the glue dried instantly.
I was able to do the rough cutting on the neck giving it its basic shape, It still needs to be tapered to fit the fretboard and also have the back rounded.
After cutting the neck i was able to cut several of the pieces of the body and glue them together and start gluing them to the neck.
I was able to glue 1/2 of the body to the neck, the other 1/2 will have to wait. This is the part where I wish the glue was instant, waiting for the glue is something that I don't dare to rush. I would hate it if something came apart because of my impatience. So, even tho it is hard, I will wait, until it is safe to remove the clamps and glue the other side on.
It's starting to look something like a guitar :)
Dude... patience is a virtue. lol. It is starting to look like a guitar for real now. Very cool.
