The purpose for it is when one has a custom fit or no template.   How it works; Line up the center lines of body to center line on jig and clamp the body down.. In the first two pictures the jig center line can be seen.   I used a template and cut the pocke...

On to the binding. Following in my path of building what I can to save money, I came up with my own binding routing jig. Watch out StewMac! These things are actually pretty easy to build. I made mine with a bunch of scrap MDF, a pair of under-drawer slides, a nylon washer and a piece of bungee cord. The […]

Finally, I finished the plan for the Neck Router Jig! A flexible tool that helps you to create/re-create your favorite necks, or to do more advanced asymmetric neck shapes that otherwise can be time-consuming. About two years ago I finished the Neck Router Jig and did a post in Swedish about the idea and how it works. And

I am trying to find the plans to the binding machine that LMII used to carry.  Does anyone know where I can find them?

Working with the radius on fingerboards by hand is very tire-some and time-consuming process. And it's usually in those moments that you wish to have a better way of working. In this case I wanted a tool that could support any radius sizes but also that you can do compound radius. I figured that I'm probably

I got some requests for putting up a video on how the Fingerboard Radius Jig works in real-life. And I agree that sometimes a video is a better choice as the fastest way to show how things really work. Especially when it comes to getting a hang-on how this awkward-looking construction works. So here it

I have created a completely new design of my own that will provide maximum precision and versatility when radiusing fingerboards. This jig will allow me to...

It's been a long time coming, but with the Australian dollar at last reaching parity with the U.S. dollar (and predicted to climb even further), the parcel delivery van has been an increasingly frequent visitor of late. With such a strong local currency at present, Australian exporters are feeling the pain, but as an importer of "must have" guitar-building tools and exotic woods, I'm in my glory. For too long, as my finger hovered uncertainly over the "Buy Now" button on the Allied Lutherie or Luthier's Mercantile web sites, I was forced to add up to 50% to the advertised U.S. price as I made a rough conversion to my own currency - and that's before I'd factored in those truly horrendous international freight charges. Often, I'd indulge in a little harmless fantasy and fill my online shopping cart and then, after a moment or two to savour the experience, grudgingly click the "Empty Cart" button after reality had kicked in and I'd calculated the final cost! East Indian Rosewood I've never been one to horde wood, preferring instead to order materials to satisfy immediate needs, but after my recent purchases I must admit it's nice for a change to be able to pick and choose from the growing collection of soundboards and back and side woods awaiting my attention.
