Faraday cages.

I've got this shit:

And this shit:

I did the front first. Taped it all up so I didn't drip...

Oh.... I changed the neck:

It's that 2X4 that I used to practice routing back a hundred years ago when I started this thread. Ever read, 'The Giving Tree? '

This 2X4 has starred in roles such as:

Router Practice
First trip through the planer
First trip across the jointer

And now....

The role of a lifetime....

Stick I use to hold the body while I paint it

:cheers:

I used the same template I used to make the actual neck, but skipped the whole router table business. I just used that alligator rasp to fit it into the pocket. I'm finding more and more that for 'approximate' jobs, grabbing a hand tool is more expedient than setting up a machine. Save the machines for precision or volume jobs.

I just used the extant holes and went through the front of the handle jig with the same color matched screws.
