There's mold in the shop!

We got the mold finished up. Yesterday I used a pattern bit on the router table to make the layers of the mold all match up. Then the assistant went wild with the glue. I think as much got on the work bench as actually on the mold.

I think he needed the safety goggles to keep the glue out of his eyes.

Tonight I bored a hole througheach end of the glued up pieces and ran a 10" bolt through to hold them together.

After the assistant went to sleep I realized there was one more piece to glue up so I attached the heel block to the neck.

While we're on the topic of the neck, I need to start thinking of a shape for the headstock.
