Post #28 - Open Dovetail 

A little of posting catch up.  Now that back and top bindings are complete, time to open up the dove tail, very carefully with the Dremel and a routing bit.  Even moving carefully, I still got a little chip out.  Below, I clamp the mold into the workbench before opening up the dove tail.

Here is the dovetail after careful removal.

Now comes one of the trickiest part...setting the neck.  Before I do that I dry fit the truss rod, and then dremel out the small channel for the truss rod.
