This is an interesting topic for many and I hope we can share some information.
When working a neck block , can you post some pictures of your neck blocks and tenons also if you pull a neck can you share your information. Here is how I address a Martin style neck. Remember that the only difference on the dovetail and the Martin bolt on is that you need to be closer to the center line.

Re: Neck Joints
Great video John!
Are mandolin necks done the same way? Somebody has offered me a very ailing mandolin to fix up if I want to bother with it. I haven't seen it yet, but from the description it sounds that among other things it is in desperate need of a neck reset.

Don't believe everything you know.
