Been watching those brave men from Swizerland playing the game of their lives and kicking the Frenchmen home, so 120mins of neckpocket work with few fotos as game was running on my cellphonescreen.
been measuring again and to get 5mm space from the FB to the strings that blue line should be it
as that wood is (luckywise) soooo damn hard that sanding does hardly have any impact i chose file, a coarse one....
that still takes a lot lot of time, but was getting closer
close to the finish switching to sanding to get a plane and nice surface for glueing
let´s see
i decided to round the edges, as that might be potential highspots inside the pocket for reachability at sanding there
and sanding down the fretboardend to open up the gap so the base can fit the pocket
i ended up with a slight slight angle of the neck falling away from the body which leads to the strings hitting the bridge a tad higher - and as the fixed bridge is so limited in adjustability i did start to get back to 0° with sanding the front of the neckend marking the surface before each sanding run to see how much is done and be sure that material is more taken away at the front
i´m close to be there... next time hopefully final joint result with pics
