I have started up three jobs in parallel: The neck, back and top. To start with the neck. The piece of walnut that I got was a bit to wide and needed to be planed down. A good 20 minutes and a pile of wood curls later:
With that done I took a sliding bevel and set its angle according the plans and traced the angle out onto the side of the neck.
Later I will cut of this wedge with a saw and glue it reversed to the back of the neck. That will form the tilted back head stock.
I left the neck for now since I finally bought myself a fretsaw.No not to cut in the frets in the fret board but a wood saw which can be used to cut out shapes. I need it to cut out my top and back since I do not have band saw. I used a paper template of the top (and back) to draw them on the plates:
After that I draw a line by hand about 1 cm around the shape.
At last I cut out the rough shapes of the top and back. They are still way to thick but that will be taken care off later:
