Just fyi - the copy carver is still looking at me every day, wanting me to take it off the bench and put it in the game. I have not had to use it on a neck yet. But I shall. I shall.

I just got the latest copy of "Shop Notes" this past weekend and it has a very detailed article on making one of these.
I don't really have any place to store one, but I am seriously thinking about making one. The material list is long, but not expensive..........
so Dave, you need to do it so we all know if we want to be like you and have one.

Dave, since yer lined up with Kevin's two orders, I might as well get in line.

My order is for a measley quantity of 50 necks, so maybe you can squeeze me in after Kevin's first order of 100.
With such a small order, we wouldn't want you gettin' off the hook too easy, so mine have to be all 3 or 5 piece laminates.
In addition, all the wood is still in rough form and needs to be dimensioned before glue-up.
At least the copy carver will get a break.
Always have plenty of sandpaper; it's rough out there!
