The course starts with the neck now. We had one session on planing a waste block square, then the next week we had pre-squared and thicknessed neck blanks to start on. Went straight to making a scarf joint for the neck angle.
I definitely think that doing some practice at home is going to be key because at this speed I'll get to the end and have a guitar but still not feel confident to make one on my own subsequently. Have ordered a clamp-on vice and will see if I can get away with using the coffee table to make another guitar at home in parallel. Currently at work with a bit of mahogany for a neck from Touchstone in the post room.
Tempted to make a Les Paul Junior neck with it - not the same as the course but would still give me practice with tools etc. Similar construction?
How many people were on the course when you did it? Let's see your guitar!
