Taper profile is done. I'm currently covered in bright orange dust. It mixed with the sweat on my arms and turned a dark red. I look kind of bloody. Totally m3t4l. Not trying to brag, but that glue line is almost invisible. When I tapered it, instead of making the edges 90 degrees, I gave it an upside down trapezoid profile. Meaning the actual fretting surface is slightly wider than where it meets the plane of the neck. I'll fix it later. In this case, I didn't want to accidentally make it too narrow so I overcompensated to get it squared later. It's around 3/8" thick, so I'm going to radius and reduce the thickness next time I work on it. I've been thinking that it might be nice to round the fretboard edges out. Kind of like a Strat a friend of mine had.
Still no word on uploading pictures. After work tonight, I'll try to get that taken care of. For what it's worth, my Instagram username is brizzleygare. I have a few progress shots on there. If you feel like it, you can check those out. It should suffice until I figure out how to upload onto SSO.
