Thanks for that, very informative.
I agree that working with hand tools can be theraputic, but for sure I'd always use a power tool if it made the job easier, and produced a better result. Trouble is, where do you stop? You can end up being exactly what you don't want to be - a production line. Presumably you'll see how it goes and then decide if it's for you?

Thats pretty much the way i do it when free handing a neck shape, which is always my faourite way of carving a neck. I use a half round rasp rather than a flat one as then the head and heel countours are starting to form in stage 1.
There are time i have had to copy neck shapes a bit more accurately.
Rather than make a neck shape template to try and carve too, I convert the cross section into a series of facets which get transferred to the wood and carved in series. Thats not described very well and i may need to do a drawing to explain later, but i know a lot of new builders i have shown the method to like that it gave them a bit more guidance than "just carve till it feels right"
No need for a drawing, i have found a nice link that explains the process. its definitely easier to do than to explain
