Headstock and neck shaping.

I used a jig saw to cut the excess from the neck. Careful, because the blade tends to bend at times. The face I was cutting looked straight, but the back side cut was too close to the line. I scraped and sanded the sides of the neck to get it ready to route the tenon slot. I need to fret it first. I used a chisel to take the headstock down to size. I was going to use the Saf-T-Planer I have, but opted for the chisel, scraper and sand method. I'm glad I did. I had more control over what I was doing and I felt safer doing it. Lot's of work today.
