Time to give the neck it's shape. I rough cut towards the line with the bandsaw and then used double sided tape to stick the templates on. Now it's out to my very expensive, state of the art, heavy duty, bonza, plywood routing table (actually not really a table, just propped up plywood)

All jokes aside, if you are still routing on top of your work, don't! This was a revelation for me when I first set this up. It is much cleaner, easier, faster and safer for you and your work. Note the kids foam surf board used to get the plywood level between the two tables. Nothing but the best tools here!

I use a template bit thats long enough to cut the whole thickness of the neck. Carefully taking little bits at a time to avoid tear-out and she came out looking good.
