<p>Like the reference lines idea. I use a round "micro planer" type rasp for most shaping, followed by the usual, sanding/ finishing and don't take off much past a D profile, but intend to do some practicing on "blanks" to acquire more C profile in the future and the lines will def help. Thx!</p>

<p>The round rasp is a "MicroPlane", and I've now moved onto using a half round one that fits into a standard hacksaw frame - they are great!</p>

<p>I have made a few dozen so far and sharpened the kiwi one once using a little diamond paddle thing. It takes a small amount of practice and a little bit of care on wonky grain but is the bees knees for what I use it for. Kitchenware area of the store is great for nice little paring knives and the like. Victorinox the army knife people make a great little hooked vegetable shaping knife just perfect for whittling and micoplane graters are good too.</p>

<p>If I am using a glued on 1/4 inch fret board, I use a router on the neck to round them more - followed by orbital sander and a bit of hand sanding.</p>
<p>If the build is just a one by two, I do not want to weaken it by removing a lot of wood. On those I just round the edges with a rasp followed by orbital sander and a bit of hand sanding.</p>

What rasps do you use? They look like they cut mahogany like its butter...<br/>

And the strap down/ end neck support is brilliant!

<p>I run my necks at a 45deg angle by hand for most of it on the band saw, after removing the bulk of it that way, doesn't take as much shaping, still spend a few hours finishing it though.</p>

<p>Starting off with good wood selection with nice straight grain and as close to quarter sawn as you can get. This is my method using a y handled vegetable peeler. though I usually taper the neck width and thickness on the bandsaw first and follow up with small block planes spoke shaves rasps and sanding to even things out. </p>

<p>$2 from Kmart no name is my current favourite as it is just a bit stiffer than the $6 Kiwi brand one in the video so it does not dig in as often. </p>
