Hi all. Im building an f style mando using siminoffs 56 page book and am at the stage where i am about to attach the neck to the rim assembly (with top). I followed his plans exactly and found that (i think, if i havnt made a mistake) his plan for the one piece neck in this book, leaves the heel too short. As i understand it, once the neck is set with the proper angle, the plane of the neck (with out fret board) should rise above the mando top by about 1/2 inch, thus leaving the end of the heal flush with the back of the head block. As it is, with the dimensions he gives, the back of the heel is countersunk considerably far from the back of the head block. IF, the neck plane was to be flush with the top, then his dimensions would be perfect. BUT its not supposed to be , right? Any one whao has experiance using this book who can help me or anyone else, it would be greatly appreciated. I dont know if i made a mistake in my understanding or what... Thanks.
