Would you be so kind as to show your neck carving jig? Mine, cobbled up from a pallet runner has split and is no longer useable. I bought a nice 2" x 3 3/4" x 40" long black walnut cut-off for the new one. I'm thinking a hinged headstock end may come in handy- thoughts? |

Look at the third post down in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10101&t=55545&hilit=Total+vise I cut a 15 degree slice off one side and glued it onto the other side, and cut a notch at the transition. The notch allows for the area where the headstock veneer sticks out a bit. The holes are for clamps to hold the neck in place. Cheap, and it works great. |

One of my kids built a Martin kit back in 1996 and Martin sold their neck carving supports back then and he bought one. I am still using it.  IMG_7096 by Terence Kennedy, on Flickr

Here is mine with a neck sitting in front.

One thing I would do differently is make the head angle adjustable. |

It's amazing how fast the rough-in goes with some 36 grit. When I get close to the final shape I change to 60-80 grit. After this, I change to the wood rasp, flat sanding blocks, and various sizes of cardboard tubes, with sticky back sand paper. The round tubes are for finishing out the curved areas at the heel and the transition of the neck to the peg head. I have never carved one. The belt sander also doubles as the shaper, for my bridge wings. Flip up the drum and us a block of plywood to get the wing thickness close, and then layers of wood veneer to tune it in. l also can use this setup to thickness the peg head.
