Mop Sander Neck making
What do you think about using a mop sander to shape a neck?

This would not work to shape a neck.

Have you tried it??

Actually it is kind of fun, and very satisfying, to see how quickly and accurately a good horse rasp will chew down a board to the shape of a neck. Mop sander, as the guy says right in the intro comments, is for sanding contours you don't want to change. Might use one after you've shaped the neck, but there are easier, and more imporantly, more precise ways, to smooth and sand a neck after you've rough shaped it.

If you haven't seen them, I recommend that you check out Colt's video tutorials on how he uses a horse rasp to rough out a neck. I've forgotten which thread they're embedded in, but if you search for them, you'll find they're very informative.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't mean to shape a blank, I meant to get final shape at the same time as sanding. I was actually planning on using a rasp or file. Not sure which, as i don't want too much sanding.

File, then go to a scraper. Not much sanding to do after that.

I give it the old Colt W. Knight technique: Rasp Everything.
