LLOYD'S # 146 is now constructed and ready for its final sanding. This is going to be a good one. Here I am shaping the peg head having just glued on the spalted maple faceplate.
Lloyd ordered Waverly geared tuners and they require a pretty thick peg head to fit properly, so I am carefully measuring the tuners to make sure the Peghead is the proper thickness.
Here I am measuring the space needed for the Waverly tuner.
 a handsome box for these lovely tuners. |  I must reduce the thickness to this point |
 Here is the challenge scribed on the peg head |  I will reduce the thickness with this Shinto rasp which does a great job flattening wood. |
After a few minutes with the great Japanese rasp the peg head is now the proper thickness.
Yep, the Waverly tuners now fit.
and Lloyd's tenor, #146 is now built requiring only its final sanding and the french polish.
