The Scarf Joint

One advantage of not being on a production schedule is I can do the steps in guitar making in the order I feel like not necessarily one order that makes the most sense.. I've taken a break from working on the body to work a bit on the neck.. Tonight I cut the scarf joint planed it flat and glued it back on the neck blank..

I used a technique I saw on some other Luthier's blog (sorry can't remember which of the many I look at) to stop the joint from sliding around until the glue gets tacky and clamps tight.. Worked well.... I think the pictures below are pretty self explanatory. The tape is binding tape so lots of stick..
