"Angle, center, elevation"...how to close this gap in the neck?
I wasn’t familiar with the loothalong, thanks! I *think* I have figured it out, first checking for mystery bumps/undercutting further and using sidewise flossing (we need better names for this!) on the purple tape side and base of the neck.
If I don’t get it in an hour or so, then I’ll jump into the loothalong. Thanks Ian and Pete for putting…

So I removed a tiny amount from the cheek (side with the purple tape), getting that nice and flush…

Can you link to the file? I have a 3D printer and could use this jig, would be happy to print one for myself and if successful, print one for you also

Hey everyone! After hearing about the Looth Group for quite some time, decided to go all-in with a yearly membership. Hoping to learn a lot from all of you and move from being the best luthier my friends know (i.e. the only builder they know) to being a luthier that other people think might know something 🙂
