Gluing the fingerboard / Shaping the neck

What's next? Well I guess it's the gluing of the fingerboard.
The fingerboard is already tapered correct.
What I need to do is to align the center line and make sure the fret slots are perpendicular to the center line.

After that I drilled 4 guide holes and start the gluing process.
I clamp it down with clamps.
I place a wood block beneath the top and apply a clamp there.

Find the center line using the metre rule.

Drill the guide holes (1 mm)

Using wire to fix the position.

Fingerboard caul

Saw off the 1st fret excess.

Ready for gluing

Heat up the fingerboard

Apply HHG

Glue to neck with the 4 pins are guide. The cauls has 4 holes to allow for the pins / metal wire

Apply the clamps

When it's dried, I began to shape the neck with my beloved rebate plane chisel and the spokeshave.
First I saw off the excess portion of the neck to fit the fingerboard.
At one side I use the ryoba and it's fine but the other side I use the coping saw and it cut a little into the fingerboard... argh...
Not choice I would have plane / sand it away.
After that I shape behind the head using the chisel.
It was all messy of shavings...
