I really like the way that Steve Stevens uses his Versa Vice to hold the neck block while he clamps the sides to the neck block. So I went out and bought a Versa Vice of my own awhile back. However, until I actually take it out of the box and mount it to the table

My neck block has an overhanging section under the fretboard. I also use a mortise and tenon bolt-on neck with a through the soundhole access to the truss-rod. I used some scrap mahogany like neck wood. Could be mahogany, spanish cedar, Nara, or some similar looking woods somebody gave me.

Lightly sanded the rim with a radius dish to get the contour then glued on the basswood kerfing. You can see the plug in the back of the mortise which I cut on the table saw.

Flipped it over and did the same thing again. I use a 20 foot radius on the back and 28 foot radius on the front.

Marked the surface of the kerfing with a pencil and used the radius dishes to sand the rim until all the pencil marks were gone. I also glued in a couple of Paduak patches where the cracks had been repaired... just in case. I'd hate to get warranty work from my own daughter...
