A year or so ago I followed a link from one of the guitar websites I frequent to a guy's page where he showed how to cut a dovetail neck joint entirely by hand, with a hand saw and chisel. I had it bookmarked until my old laptop bit the dust, and now can't find it.
The process was well documented with pictures and diagrams, and at the time several people remarked that the particular page was a well regarded one for showing the process. I want to say the gentleman's name was Steve or scott or something like that, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?

Easier to cut the mortice before gluing it to the sides/body. You can also do a through cut, so that it extends right through to the bottom of the block.
