Help Drawing Guitar neck

[soxfan963]

Hey everyone,

I'm having some trouble with a guitar neck drawing. I've attached 2 images to help illustrate what I'm working on. The area I need help with is where the cylinder section meets the headstock. I need to blend these two sections together in a pleasing way.

I've tried surface to surface fillet and solid fillet, but both of these fail. What strategy would you guys try?

BTW, I'm using V29 mill standard

Thanks!

I would have a full cylinder. the headstock shape would be a block extruded fully out in both directions.

Boolean the cyl and headstock pieces. Then fillet the connecton, then cut the flats back into it.

The way I did this using SKIN a little work though I put the PRS angle 7 deg. not sure what Paul uses for angle.

Had to use some work plane surfaces to get the geom correct but is doable with good old BOB.


BurrMan may have a simpler way he's very good at this stuff.


Good Luck

Might try Revolve a donut at the transition point and then subtract. Some of my Guitars have something like that but I prefer the skin method

I would suggest this as the best way in BobCad. It has limited blending options.

Although patchwork is a more advanced method, it is the best way in BobCad.
