Neck carving

[Michael N.]

That's how some necks were done in around 1830' ish, which goes to show that there isn't much new under the sun.
The difference back then is that they would turn a tapered cylinder and saw down the centre of it to create two necks.
The heel was turned separately, joined with a mitre and the head joint was done with a V joint.

Yes Michael I remember seeing some old neck blanks in a glass case in an old factory tour video and they were made like that ..and that's where I got the idea, as I already had a lathe with a taper attachment fitted.

Chest infection improving but still got a bit of congestion...went in the workshop to day and set the bandsaw for resaw work, cut off a couple of slices to test it. ..tomorrow if I'm better I'll be back at work again, hopefully ..that's if Mrs T allows me.

Chest infection still there after 3 weeks but slowly getting better ..The wife got it also and my Son Mike ...So we tested it out on a COVID test kit and it came up positive So it wasn't sawdust after all.
