Since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated with the process of making things, particularly, things made of wood. Since my teens, I've developed skills as an amateur woodworker. I learned to play guitar starting at 11 yrs old, and thought it would be fun to make a guitar from scratch using mostly hand tools. I've completely dog-eared my copy of William Cumpiano's "Guitarmaking; Tradition and Technology". It's my 'bible' on guitar making. Here's how I'm doing so far....
After slicing away most of the heel block with a sharp chisel, the shape is further refined using a scraper. The remainder of the neck will be shaped after the fingerboard is glued on.
