You should use All Thread and leave it long enough to put a handle on the end that spins so you can guide it with both hands like you have already tried to do a couple times! Use a washer and lock nut at the end!
Hi Kaleb, good luck with your neck re-shaping. Like many, I remain teetering on the cliff edge about that Spalted Dread, and your trials in getting that neck off, I see it there behind you still in the neck jig...It would be great to hear an update with your ideas, or some exposition of what suggestions you've had from all of the others to hopefully move it forward. Thanks and I'm enjoying your channel, I love the way that you boldly go forward into your work!
Maybe a small vibrating sander might be nice to have ! I did a lot of cabinet finishing (stain, seal and finish for 45 yrs I am 74 now ) all woods! I had a business Joe's Paint and Wood Finishing ! I used lacquer it dries fast and lacquer stains ! Sanding sealer 1st then finish ! They have small air brushes and if you plan to make more guitars you should invest in some power sourced tools and spray equipment ! Small air brushes are not that expensive and saves time ! Lacquer is the best but now under V.O.C. regulation they have waterbase now that is environment friendly ! I noticed you were using a waterbase filler! Its your business you can do it anyway you want ! But its fun and challenging to experiment on new techniques ! Wear a mask and always sand with the grain, if not you will have scratches in the wood faces ! God Bless I do enjoy watch your videos !
Why cross grain sanding? Big no no. Also should use a shinto rasp for faster and more even shaping. But, critism aside, I think this is a great first guitar build, and you're learning a lot. So good job!
Caleb sorry I had to comment you will keep chasing that pour filler forever if you continue to sand without a block.. I mean no disrespect I have built 12 guitars & 6 ukuleles in the past 6yrs. I’m just trying to help you.👍🇺🇸🎼🎸👨🏻🦯
I agree, it seems to me the way Caleb is doing it will create wavyness in the neck. A good rasp made by shinto goes a long way. Hog it out with a spoke shave first, then rasps and files, finally sandpaper.

looking good caleb
Coming right along Caleb! It’s going to be a beauty😃
I agree that, yes, I do believe that "size matters" in guitar necks too. ;-)

I used a coat or two of Tung oil. Everyone loves it. Very smooth and warm to your hand.
Nice job Caleb!

Looks good Caleb, you should invest the $20 into a Shinto rasp you will find carving a neck is so much easier ..
Yeah they're awesome 👌
Why don’t you use a spoke shave or scraper it’s much faster and it does as good a job.
Thanks! Yep! Use gloves. I tried Tru Oil for the first time and didn’t use gloves. 🎻✌️🙂😎
How to make a spindal sander like y'all had at jerry's. Well it's similer.

Mask up brother...
Very ineffective and sloppy way of doing this! Just stick with the good old rasps and sanding blocks, more control and faster shaping!
