It almost looks like a neck

After having dried for more than a night, it was time to turn my sawing and glueing project into something that remotely resembles a neck. Since I wasn't all too neat with my glueing and clamping, the headstock wasn't exactly level with the rest of the "neck". No worries, nothing al little planing won't fix ;-)

Since planing just got rid if the enormous differences, it was time for another round (more like 15 rounds) of sanding. To make things a little easier, I turned my workbench, vacuum cleaner and sander into the beautiful (cough) sanding table, shown below. Best plan I ever had: both hands free to sand the neck, and the vacuum cleaner actually got rid of most of the dust because it didn't have to fight gravity as well. Very satisfied with that ;)

After sanding out the rough spots, this is what my neck prototype looks like. I'm not at all dissatisfied with the result. I know it still looks like a stupid piece of wood, but creating it proved to me that I am able to actually do some of the things required to turn a piece of wood into a guitar! Who knows, this project might succeed ;)

I'm in doubt whether I should shape the headstock (which is too small, by the way, so it would look a bit silly) and maybe shape the part where the neck would meet the body, just for practice, but right now the time of day at which I can actually put my neighbors through the noise that would make has passed, so if I feel up to it, I might do that tomorrow.
