Is cost the obvious benefit for laminating, or are there other ones? Is a laminated neck stronger than a neck made from a large piece of lumber?I agree with Wes glueing up a lam nect is the bomb because you can mix hard woods and make it your own. I use maple and oak base trim. The oak I get from a local mill all the wood is cut offs, I get it cheap. Laminating is a good way to keep the lumber cost to a min.
Good call, Scott. I'll be picking up a Jigsaw myself around the next paycheck, or thereabouts. Which oscillating multi-tool did you end up getting? Any opinions to share with someone who is looking at them as well?I know what you mean about being limited by tools. I'm in the same boat, live in a condo with no much space to work so I'm working in a corner of the living room and getting sawdust all over the place. I've been using a handheld electric jigsaw and handsaw with miter box and an all purpose file for the finer work. I've used this as an excuse to buy one of those oscillating multi-tools which cut through the cigar box like butter and also does sanding work.

Will do... the one I'm looking at says its max depth of material cut is 2 inches.Be careful with the jigsaw. I have had trouble getting a square cut on mat'l more than 1/4" thick.
