Today I'll bring it up to tension and do a demo.

Thanks everyone! Battmann, the answer to both questions is yes. I've devised a rather tedious method of radiusing the fingerboard and I only use it when I have a particular piece of wood I want to use. In this case I used an ebony fingerboard salvaged from a busted fiddle. Or for about $10 bucks you can get very nice ones from e-bay. I usually cut the heel at around 10 degrees to get the neck angle but I hold it in place first and draw a line so sometimes it's give or take a few degrees. A bit extra work but hey - I don't have to do no frets!

very nice. Is it difficult to make the fretboard and get angle correct?
