Step Three: Scalloping your neck
No, I'm kidding, we're not going all Swedish and sweepy tippy tappy at this point.
As I mentioned in Step Two, we need to make the neck thinner where it will be within the box, and marking the bit of wood we will be removing on the neck is again a good idea.
To do this, I simply lay the box on the neck where I see it sitting. Next, I made some pencil marks for the start and end positions of the box, then I measured the depth of the box lid (1/4" on the one I'm using here, which I'd guess might be pretty average), and on the sides of the neck marked the same distance. After that I coloured in the area we'll be removing later on.
How we do that, I'm not right sure at the moment but I guess it will be with a chisel or a file or rasp or something.
