Here's the latest. Got the body shape cut out and a bit of rough sanding done. I had no band saw, so I tried a hand held jig saw on the scrap edge of the block to see if it would cut. It cut straight and smooth but VERY s l o w l y. A little bit of burning when I tried to do a radius so I just cut straight to get the excess off, then cut the radius closer, then sanded to finish it up. Pic #8 shows the body shape now, and pic #9 shows how I set up a sander in a vise as a make-shift table sander.
Now sanding and fitting the neck in the pocket. Looks like I might have a small gap between the neck and the face of the body. Any ideas on how to fill it without gluing the neck to the body?
