Guitar Build - Log 3: THIS IS A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS

In the 3rd guitar build update things are looking up.

The body shape is sawed out, the carving begins and goes pretty smoothly, but then a broken hand plane adjustment lever really ruins my momentum.

I'm still really happy with how this build is going.  There are a decent number of voids in the sides that I need to fill in, some bits of the top.

TODO (as of the end of this video):
1. Fix plane, finish planing neck break angle into top of guitar.
2. Route neck pocket, pickup & electronics cavities
3. Fill the voids left behind by the bad resaw
4. Install neck
5. Sand the entire guitar to 220 grit
6. Apply a finish!  I'm thinking pore-fill with some BLO or Danish oil then either just build up the Danish oil or seal with some shellac.
7. Install hardware: tuners, bridge, tailpiece.
8. Fretwork?
9. Wire electronics
10. String, setup.
11. ROCK!
