  • What are the measurments for the neck when you started?

  • @fman600 the neck is 1-1/2 x 3/4 x 32" the headstock starts out 3-1/8 x 9" x 5/8" and the through block is 14" x1-1/2 x 3/4 thanks!!

  • just a suggestion, your table saw seems a little loud and it bogged down a little while cutting the first piece. If you were to install a link belt you'll get better performance out of your table saw. they are a little pricey compared to other belts but it's worth it. they usually run about $23 at Harbor Frieght. Just thought I'd share. I found your video very helpful and will be starting on a couple guitars shortly.

  • @bm3dufner its a direct drive... I need to upgrade to a bigger , heavier duty table saw. I go through one of these bench top models every 12-18 months. I simply wear them out.

  • Thanks for your help. I was also wondering the measurements on the fingerboard. I hope my neck will turn out half as good as yours.

  • I see, if you are serious about getting a good saw i would go with a cabinet saw, you can plan on spending $500 or more for a used one. I currentle own and operate a vintage delta rockwell contractors saw. it's alot heavier than modern contractor saws and does a great job. you can find these used in the $150 -$300 range. they are a good bang for your buck and they were made back when things were built to last. If you do this as just a hobby a contractors saw would suit you best. good luck.

  • @ragtagbag most of the neck wood I get at home depot, when I buy curly maple and more exotic maples I get them on Ebay several good vendors on there.

  • @bigdaddysmojo

    Where do you get your maple wood?

  • @profwaldo thanks!!

  • Well done man, great vid !
