haha, thanks a bunch, Sean, your comments mean a lot, considering how much i admire your work! this particular neck pocket was cut using the drilled-holes method you mentioned, plus coping saw, to get a rough pocket. the furthest edge of the pocket couldnt be cut with the coping saw, so I was going to use my dremel with a cut off wheel and a chisel set the break it free, but the force put on the pocket tore out as you see above. The build coming along nicely, though if you look closely my paint job isnt so great. Oh well!

You have learned well young Scottywalker. What are you using to cut out the neck pocket with? I found a dremel with a downward spiral cutting bit to be the best also I drill two holes in the end area one on each side to give a start and stop point for the cuts help to avoid such issues. That aside you are doing great the white box with gold hardware is just stunning. Keep going it looks killer.
