One part I find a bit slow is the transition from headstock to neck. So far I have band sawed the shape, that is the front flat part of the headstock then into the curve that ramps up to the fret board and then sanded it by hand to level the face and clean up the curved transition.
With this drum sander I'll again band saw the shape but then just feed the headstock into the drum which will thickness and level it and also the drum is the same radius as the curved transition so it will give me a nice even curve sanded smooth.
The feed table is pivoted and adjusts the thickness so it can also do other sanding/thicknessing jobs. All the parts are from offcuts I already have except the two bearings which cost $20.
In the end it was also a challenging wet weather project.
