100 year old Pine P bass build

All I got done today was drilling the neck attachment holes in the body.
First I placed the neck plate in the neck pocket, and positioned it as close to center as I could side to side.
...And drilled the first two holes.
With the first two holes drilled, I flipped the body over, placed the plate in position, put the first two screws in to make sure it was positioned properly, and marked the last two holes. Then it was on to drilling.
Done. Who's that?
As I said, this is all I got done today. I'll get back to it as soon as I can. Thanks for looking.

Just so you know, I'm so interested in this, I'm saving all of these pictures on my phone to see the progress from start to finish.
Wow, thanks!
That's high praise for such a humble build. I hope I do justice to your confidence.

Less barking, more wagging!
A set of these:
Rockler/Insty-Drive Self-Centering Bits - Rockler Woodworking Tools
Make it much easier to install cabinet hinges and neck plates!

Laid down the finish on the neck today. The flame popped pretty good. I'm happy with it, at least.
I'm baaack!
That's better.
I've never exceeded the bandwidth on Photobucket. Go figger. It will reset on the day of the month that I first signed up, and the pics should be visible again.
Meanwhile, Imgur works well, and I like the picture quality a lot better.
I'd like to go through this thread and put everything on Imgur, and then repost the links. But that would be a ton of work I just do not have the time to do. I'll just wait for a reset on those.
Thanks for the links, advice, and most of all, patience.

I'll try to get them all posted for you tomorrow - I'll use my Picasa3 and just open post them here for you.
You won't need any passwords or anything to view them and if you like, if you wanna, just start a Picasa 3 account (tied to your GMail account) and you will have almost 8 Gig of storage space for each screen name you have in Google.
Yeah, I tried to download Picasa3 last night. It takes nearly two hours to download at my connection speed. I started the download late, and had to cancel and go to bed, lol.
Imgur does the job, but the upload and edit speeds are slower than molasses. If I can get Picasa3 downloaded, I'll give it a try and see which one is faster.
Photobucket's back! That's good to know. I was stressing out. Was worried the folk would keep seeing "bandwidth exceeded" and just opt out of this thread. Whew!
Wow! oe. I imagine that was a lot of work. It's much appreciated! Downloading Picasa3 as I type this.
Once you get Picasa 3 into your machine, then you should tell it to just look in your area where you put your pictures, or you can wind up with every graphic that is in your system!
