I started the week by cutting out my headstock design on the band saw. The next few days I spent sanding my fret board with a 12″ radius, 120 grit, sanding block; this took forever but it turned out pretty perfect. Next I used the spindle sander to sand my headstock shape so it wasn’t so rigid, and left it smooth all the way around. During this process, I also sanded the wooden tab at the base of the neck off. In the last ten minutes of class Friday, I began marking where my fret markers will be using a ruler to make sure it was even and a small drill bit to press in the holes only slightly. After that we all cleaned up and headed to lunch.
