Not long to go now!
I decided to carry the binding through to the headstock becuase it just looks great! And I love doing the fiddly bits. It is easier to do this before the fretboard is glued on so that was the plan. The headstock veneer was glued on then cleaned up with a sanding block. The holes were drilled through and then I cut the binding channel with the router. The cutter has a bearing which is smaller than the cutter – the bearing guides against the side of the workpiece so it cuts the perfect size slot. This bearing is changeable to make different size slots if needed. The first and last piece of the binding was bent over a hot iron before gluing them on. The last thing To do was glue on the fretboard. Two pins hold it in place while the clamps are applied to stop it from sliding about on the wet glue.
