Cynthia look up scarf joint on chop saw. There is one that a guy built a jig it's a 90 degree and the chop saw is set to your needed say 10 degree. I will try to find the picture.

It looks like we have approximately the same sort of tools and procedures, and the joy too I suppose. And the work (blood, sweat and...) is most of the joy for me, since I am not a good player or singer, but I have many friends who are, so they make that side of the joy! 
So I will keep up the good work andsure you do the same. Best of luck!

Im stumbling on the scarf's. Tried to "relieve" a 3/4" with a bandsaw. Goal was 5/8ths. now; wavy 1/2" Now fabbing a red-neck jig for japanese draw saw. Iffy. 10 deg.   You use a cross cut?  How?  Ive got a 12" but hesitate due to the wide kerf of the blade, And not sure how to rig for the 10 degree's. Desperate for solutions.. dont want to botch the last bits of Phil Mahog. Please, advise

Thanks all @ Bjorn just a table saw, sliding chop saw For scarf joint. Then a jig saw for roughing out the headstocks and isolating spindle sander and belt sander. Then the rest is all by hand ( rasp sandpaper) the fretboards are cut using a miter box I built with an indicator pin. I tape a precut fretboard to an uncut bord and just slide it in and cut and repeat till all 24 frets are cut. It is a lot of work but that's part of the joy of making a well crafted guitar.

Very good! What kind of tools do you use to make the necks so clean and regular?

Hope you  don't get too rich to not continue the production!!..
