Might help sticking packing tape on the back of the sandpaper to reduce friction. Other than that a second set of hands.

Yes I did the packing tape trick it helped a lot

Wow, I am so glad someone else's shop looks like that. Thank you

I guess you double-side tape the sandpaper to the inside of the block

I have tried the flossing and making the sides flat at the neck. I didn't like any of them. I like the curve of the top to go into the neck. These are old pics and I have refined the tool quite a bit but you get the idea. The body and neck are indexed with the jig so body and neck are aligned. I get a great fit in less than a minute.View attachment 114815 View attachment 114816 View attachment 114817

Did you make that out of an old band saw? Thats awesome

Yes it is from an old bandsaw. The biggest problem was finding the correct sandpaper (it has to be really wimpy) and learning how to make my own belts. The trick is to completely remove all sanding grit where the ends overlap and using 5 minute epoxy which never really gets hard or brittle.
