Bit of luck cutting neck tenon as per "The Book"

Following the method for bandsawing out the tenon as Trevor (and Gerard) show in the build book, I was able to cut in from both sides of it all the way to the cheeks instead of finishing the cut with a tenon saw.
I only have a 250 mm "light trade" bandsaw, but by taking of some of the width of the neck near the nut end as below (about 8mm of a 72mm wide neck) and judiciously "relocating" the on/off switch (which had stupidly been left in the wrong place)
Just thought it may be useful to someone.
