Today was good and bad. It started with me making a lovely saw cut through the face of the head to make it thin enough to locate the machine heads. Of course, when everything's going well, misfortune can't be far away.
Head, cut, sanded and looking very good. Then! A foolish use of the spokeshave and I split the wood.
Arse!
I ended up having to shape the top of the head to fix my mistake. It's a little lopsided, but I'm going to do some more work on it.
I was really pleased to see the machine heads fitted okay. At least now I have the holes drilled, I can go back to work a bit more on the head.
I showed my day's handiwork to my girlfriend, and she exclaimed "Aren't you clever!". It reminded me of the way a parent might praise a toddler for using their potty on their own for the first time.
