I planed a straight edge on the fretboard to allow me to have a decent edge to get it placed on the neck:

Then as before, drilled little pins through the fretslots to locate it on the neck. Then I rough cut the shape of the neck.
By this point I needed to use my router, but it was late and the neighbours may not have appreciated it :]. Instead I drilled the tuner machine holes using the Stew Mac jig.
You drill two holes, then the jig holds itself in place with the two steel pegs:

Then drill all the rest of the holes:

So, lots left to do, probably have to radius that fretboard soon :(
