I demonstrate my process for cutting the scarf joint for the headstock. The joint can a tricky one for some! This determines the headstock angle. Fine prep work is necessary to get this joint right.
I mark and cut the angle freehand on the bandsaw. Then I smooth and manage the skew of the joint with a blockplane and progressively finer grits of sandpaper.
