Part 5b - a brief recap

I haven't updated the original steps in my project in some time. I'll do that now.

1. Settle on a design - DONE
   
2. Acquire the various parts for the body, neck, etc. - Done, except for the transducer bridge
   
3. Mark the neck design on the neck blank - DONE
4. Rough-cut the neck - DONE
5. Rough-cut the fingerboard blank to fit the neck - DONE
6. Do the fine carving and finishing on the neck
   
7. Cut the holes for the tuning machines, and fit them - DONE
8. Install the truss rod in the neck - DONE
9. Do the initial carving of the fingerboard, for the radius - DONE
10. Glue the fingerboard to the neck - DONE
11. Finish-sand the neck and fingerboard
12. With the neck attached to the body, take measurements for the bridge template - DONE
13. Cut a tailpiece template (if I can’t find a 5- or 6-string tailpiece that will work) - DONE
14. Cut a bridge template - DONE
15. String up the cello for a play-test - DONE
16. Assuming that the play-test works out, order the transducer bridge - should be done soon, within a week or two.
    
17. After the transducer bridge arrives, install it on the cello.
18. Install a preamp for the bridge. Most electric instruments of this nature have some sort of preamping, and I’m assuming that mine will be no exception - I doubt that this will happen, or if it does, the cello probably will not have the same type of preamping as found on, say, an electric bass guitar.
    
19. Final play-test.
20. Assuming the final play-test works out, disassemble the cello for final sanding and finishing.
21. Final sanding of the neck and body.
22. Finishing of the neck.
23. Finishing of the fingerboard.
24. Finishing of the body.
25. Reassembly.
26. Done!
