The other day I went to Lowes and bought a piece of oak for 5 dollars and I decided I want to try my hand at building a neck. I cut a 15 degree angle in the wood and glued on the headstock. I also cut and glued two more pieces on at the end for the part that tapers into the body. I have everything drawn out on the wood where the cuts need to go but now I'm somewhat lost on how to go about shaping it.
If I had to choose, I would say a bandsaw and belt sander might be the most helpful but I don't have either. So my question is, what are the preferred tools used for shaping a neck, and what are some tools I could use if I don't have what is normally recommended?
Thanks everyone!
