I swear, I have almost as much fun making jigs as I do building the guitar! |

Except for the saddle slot jig. That one was frustrating. It took me too long to figure out that the sled needed to ride on a wedge. |

In addition to some sweat and tears, yes, that's a drop of blood under the bridge plate. |

Here is a picture of my homemade drum sander. The adjustment mechanism is hinged inside the framework and provides support across the entire width of the table. |

I got the strongest rubber bands that my daughter's orthodontist had to put on the clothes pins. |

Hmmm..orthodontists rubber bands...what a good idea. I just use plain old rubber bands since i do not have access to an orthodontist. |

I was waiting for a fretboard to arrive and was at a point where I couldn't proceed without it, so last weekend I started #3. I'll post pics of the binding jig in action on that one. |

Thanks, Todd. I couldn't talk Bill at Axiom into cutting the tortoise into .020" strips for the center ring, so I cut down a .060" binding strip on a router table. Yeah, it was fun. |

my binding rig in action. The metal strap that connects to the top of the router housing really tightens things up. |

My logo is my dad's signature. Mine is pretty close to his, but I get lazy somewhere around the h. |
