I've got some photos to show you,

First I thought I'd show how I did the dots, no big deal. A old pickguard and a punch. The dots are a just hair bigger than 2,3 mm. I dialed up the wrong size for the ones on the photo, they are almost 3 mm so it was just to start pressing again. I could feel it in my hand the day after.

And here we're gluing the neck. On the photo you see the dots, for the holes I used a 2.3 mm drill bit which I rotated with my hand.

Instant rock star!!! This is Leif by the way. Without him or Tom Bartlett non of this would have been possible.

Now I'm waiting on some parts from RS GuitarWorks so I can string it up and do some fret preparation and the nut. I want to roll the neck binding before I start with the finish.
