i haven't worked of plans, juts watched lots of vides  I will take some pics you should be able to make out what's going on 

Hi Sorry iv not been on hear for a while iv have preoccupied 

Yep that's right  1 year per 1" you  should never try and  dry out in  a large  lump then try and deep cut it  ,it will move  all over the place 

Not really but it is in the original build of the jig, couple of days , you can not  see in the vid but there are 2 profiles which are a blown up template of the nut and the heel so this is what is being followed   ,it important that the shape size and thickness of the neck  is correct so this is templated and finished  with the router 

I have been making short little vids recently of my processes and tooling 

i built this compound radius jig recently to speed up making necks , by spending a little time on making  pattern followers it will will reproduce a neck the same every time 

 I sometimes will bring wood into the house  for a couple of weeks, just  enough wood  for 1 or 2  necks if the wood has been standing in  my work shop for  a couple weeks, this will  helps condition the wood to the IN virement further  ,  i will then  re machine  the wood ,  but it has   to be  dry to start with , if the wood wants to miss behave (Twist wind in the length, Shrink further at the heel )it should of done by  then ,this will help with confidence  be for you turn, it into a neck  ,

Warman Guitars are good on prices for truss rods

cheers
