"Here are some photos of the holders I made to do the roundover on the neck. I do 2 at a time and just flip everything over. This design takes advantage of the clamps I have on hand."

Doug Thorsvik commented on Gavin's photo

"I used to use a rasp, followed by files, followed by a lot of sanding! Now I use router with a 1/2, 5/8, or 3/4” roundover bit (depending on the neck) followed by a little sanding. Takes less time and a lot less muscle!"
