So I have the replacement StewMac kit.
Now that I know what happened the last time, I want to make sure I avoid the same mistake.
Here's the mould that StewMac include with the kit -
As you can see, the idea is that one puts the sides around the outside of the mould, using the cutaways to position the neck and end blocks in the correct place.
My issue is that the top and back have very little spare wood, particularly around the top and bottom, and at the waist. That happened last time, too. Where I went wrong there was I used a long clamp to squeeze the waist in, to make the top and back fit with as few/small gaps as possible, and as a result, squeezed too much and nudged the neck block out of true.
So what can I use this time? Should I use this cardboard as a template for cutting a mould out of something like mdf, and then I can place the sides
inside the mould, instead of outside, and thus let the mould do any squeezing of the shape?
If anyone has any ideas, please bear in mind I don't own any specialist equipment, and I'd rather avoid spending lots on something I'll only use once.
Any ideas gratefully received, thanks.

I have some spare mdf so I'll try it and see how it goes.
