In this way you can use your saw in a vertical position. Try clamping the neck on its side with the headstock hanging off your work surface. You can also re-position the neck to cut the headstock. If necessary, back up and take your time to adjust your saw. This is some of the trickiest work youвЂ™ll do, but fret naught! You may run the saw off course a wee bit. While keeping an eye on the far-side of the neck, use slow and deliberate strokes to make your cut along the line on the side of the neck. HereвЂ™s where that little bit of effort to map out your headstock on both sides of the neck pays off big. Slowly score the line youвЂ™ve drawn at the top. Now, take your saw to the top of the neck. Stop your cut just as you meet the line that is the front of your headstock. This will keep the blade steady and straight while you make your cut.
