Gluing the neck
The first thing I did was to glue the neck laminates. I glued one of the maple blanks to the walnut blank and let it dry for one day before I glued the other maple blank to them. I sawed some shelves from a book shelf we were tossing out into smaller pieces and put them between the clamps and the neck blanks, so I didn't make any unnecessary marks on the wood. I used Titebond glue which I got from Gilet Guitars, and applied plenty of glue. When I clamped the wood I checked that the glue was oozing out all along the length of the blanks. This means that you've applied enough glue. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the gluing.
