Learning how to build an electric guitar

Making a big fat neck. Template.
It starts with wanting a wider nut so there's more space between the strings for those of us with ham fists

Which means it must also be wider at the heel.

The finger board will protrude above the body. I wanted to keep the neck pocket the normal size in case this neck sucks to play, and I want to switch it out to a normal one.
I kind of indented the neck where it fits into the pocket at the body joint. I will have to bolt the neck on instead of gluing it like actual Les Pauls.
