Received my kit and have a question

Post by Michael Haines »

I received my kit from John and have a question about the neck block. John has a video up where he screws the neck block to the mold but it looks like he does this after glueing the blocks and kerfing is this correct or should I screw this as I glue the block? Thank you Mike Haines

I actual set the neck block when I glue it in . I want the location fixed when I do the initial set up. Once I set it in it won't come out until it is a closed box.
One advantage , is that if you do take it out the screws will locate the rim in the mold very precisely.
