I have put the first layer of plastic around the Sound holes and worked on the Tone bars for the build . I will add a Layer of black and then another layer or white to match the outside binding .

Neato!

Hey Wud, aren't you worried that the soundboard will split from the points of the soundholes?
Are you going to put some tape or small crossgrained bits of wood on there to prevent this from happening? (I would!)
Or maybe drill some holes at the tips of the points? :D (we STILL don't have a winky smilie?!)

Cheers for now,
Dave F.

Dave I hadnt considered that , thanks for the thought . I will look at that as a potential issue before I close it up . The wood is approx .200 thick at that point .

The best approach is to start at the beginning, work on it until it's complete, then stop. bliss

Ok a few minutes back on the new challenge build . Been working on Daughters Coco/PinkIvory .

I have never done a Stacked / 2 piece heel / heal and neck before . Due to the way this build is going I decided it might be easier in this instance to do so .

I have fitted the heel to the Mand-Jo and will be working on the neck next .

One of these days I'm going to come root through your wood stash. Judging from the old wizard acoustic back on your other project and the dragon face in the electric on this picture, it is somewhere in middle earth.

I have never made a neck this way before , Ive always done a one piece . I can see the apeal to this way of doing things . It has to be faster and easier . Question is , is it as stable with glue joints ? I guess so since so many seem to be doing it this way .
