Neck attachment hardware embedded

The cross dowels are about 11/64" diameter, so I got to turn a wood dowel from 1/2" to match for spacers in the hole. More drill press abuse but a good time was had by all.

With the pieces in place, the next step was a simple matter of whipping up epoxy and ramming the pieces down one at a time. I even did everything in the right order and orientation the first time! (Good thing, what with the properties of 5-minute epoxy.)

    Sheesh! This step would make me nervous... Are you recognizing a pattern. I don't think the precision of instrument making is for me...
