Here are some progress pics of a walnut neck im making to fit a 1920s vega pot.
Starting off with some reclaimed walnut laminated with a maple-fumed oak-maple centre stripe stripe
This is the jig i use to cut the heel radius. Its a bit awkward and inefficient so im going to develop it sometime soon.
This is the jig i use for cutting the peghead angle on my new table saw.
A quick check of algignment. Also on the bench are an Appalachian mountain banjo and coockie tin banjo.
Gluing and capping the carbon fibre tension rod.
Gluing on the fretboard
Sanding the peghead overlay to correct thickness using my home made thickness sander.
Hand planing the tapered dowel rod.
Fitting the dowel rod wa time consuming and tricky due to the fact that the holes on the old pot had previously been somewhat butchered
finally, it took the best part of a day, the neck and pot are together.
