Post subject:  The freaking neck jig

I can't find it to buy or plans to make one. I'm sure someone has one and I just need a few good photos and some dimensions. I hate to reinvent the dang thing. I have started drawing the SM one in Fusion 360. I suppose once I have that built, I can start making improvements from there. Seems a shame. I'll gladly buy the plans that no one seems to have or want to give up.

When I made one back in the day I just used this video and got it close - https://youtu.be/szTNSVtrGZc?si=emAOqIYnn0KhCcNB

And this one: https://youtu.be/RBVFtVMP9r8?si=mpd_uY4kMgKoxnk9

You can buy an O’Brien inspired one commercially now from - https://skyscraperguitars.com/store/#!/ ... /643713254

Fusion 360 for this job feels like putting on a 200lb backpack to go walk the dog.

I've got one somewhere. I'll look for it this afternoon. I've got a Simpson jig so never built it. I'll see if I can take pictures of it and send it to you. Pm me your email. The files will be too big to send them here.

Thank you all. I just ordered the plans. My intention is to re-draw it and cut the parts on my cnc. Im going to be making my own templates as well.

Not if you enjoy working in Fusion 360.plus, I like to use my cnc as much as possible.

Right after I ordered the plans, I started looking at the eElevate jig. Looks a lot easier to make and stores easier.
