It’s been about a minute since I talked about building instruments (if you want way too many updates, my Instagram uname is joeblubaugh). After sawing your neck blank to create the “head on” profile of a neck, the next thing to do is carve it, creating the curved shape that the thumb rests on. There are a number of ways to do this, and I took my pointers from this faceting method. Like the author, I used a belt sander to do the majority of my carving. The stationary belt sander is probably the most versatile woodworking power tool I know of. You can use a hand saw for most of the cuts you need or make a low-cost cross-cut jig and get a $30 circular saw before you mess with a table saw. There is some amount of finesse in this whole process - you just have to know what a good neck feels like.

THE GUY IN OXFORDS: “Hey, just blue-skying here, gang, but, how about we try something exactly like this—except we have the shopping bag wear some really large headphones? Synergy in your ear viz. brand integration, right? How much do we love that?”
I always wear Oxfords when I Blue Sky.
