But I have started building (yet another) prototype. Frustrating though it may be, I think one cannot practice enough, before destroying a perfectly good (and expensive!) piece of wood.
So what have I been up to?
Today I wanted to practice building a neck with the headstock at an angle. Multiple sources, including the book mentioned earlier (which, believe it or not, is falling apart by now) describe the procedure for doing this as follows:
I've taken an old piece of pine (I think it was part of my bed once) and sawed this piece of wood in 2 pieces at a small angle (mine is around 11 degr).Than I put the short piece on top of the longer one, in order to be able to sand it to become one plain. This will ensure the headstock will be level later.
Then I put liberal amount of glue on the longer piece and let it dry for approximately 3 minutes.
At last I clamped the short piece to the longer one, as shown below:
I will let it dry overnight, and tomorrow we'll see how it turned out!
