1st build and it's neck set time

Very exciting.
After watching "Blues Creek Guitars-How to set a Dovetail Neck Joint-Addendum" several times on youtube, and reading as many tips as I can find by our knowledgeable members, I think I know what to do. During the Blues Creek video John refers to 5 other previous videos, some which address manipulating the heel of the neck for the neck angle and center line. I've searched, but can't seem to locate that information. Any chance someone has the link(s) for these videos?
Thanks. I love this place. And guitars. Dan

I used to have them bookmarked, but I can't find them. I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, maybe the neck reset videos will help you a bit.

That's all I could find. I'm sure John will answer.

Thanks for the links Diane. I've seen a couple of those, I'll watch them again. John's addendum video is from 8 years ago, so I'm hoping the videos he talks about are still available.
