Tools!

Ok, so here's the plan. I've got a donor neck but I want to build a new body for it. Having tried various sources I finally found a length of quality hardwood at my local timber reclamation yard. It's 50mm thick and cost me a paltry £7.50! Bargain. It's long enough for 3 bodies, so the wood for this build comes in at £2.50. Not bad! I cut it to length and then reduced the thickness using a combination of plane, router and sander. I cut a body template from MDF and used that on the wood to rough cut the shape with a jigsaw. Aren't tools great?

Yep, you guessed it! I ran out of sun. I just had enough light to do the rough cut but then I called it a day. A good start!
