Your going to have to put some wooden blanks into those slots to prevent tear out when drilling the tuning peg holes Dave. The peg holes are usually drilled first in a slotted headstock. Great progress, I'm really enjoying this series.

Timber choice looks great. Personally I would not worry about the thin veneer showing in the tuner slots, after fine sanding it should look fine.

Dave for your steam box you can use a tea kettle and a hot plate for the steam. Great head stock !!!!

I have a stream box but I can’t find our wallpaper steamer and I threw away an old kettle with a spout in a clear out 😂 cheers Dave

I also used a tea kettle for my steam box. About 45 minutes once it has heated up. Works great.

Your bending iron isn't hot enough. It needs to be able to boil water as soon as it is dripped onto it and make it spit off. When it is up to temperature and the wetted side is pressed on, the water will turn to steam instantly and the wood will relax. It should keep its shape with very little spring back once cooled. Sides are best around 2mm thick, or less, depending on natural stiffness. Walnut and Mahogany 2mm, Rosewood 1.6 - 1.8mm.

Thank you for your advice. The clips of me bending the wood didn’t do my iron justice. It will spit when water is sprayed on and it will relax the wood but it takes a little longer. It’s certainly not as effective as a commercial iron and it does take a couple of minutes for the wood to relax. I got the idea from a Spanish guitar builder. I think it’s about knowing what your tools can do. Many thanks! Cheers Dave
