  • You bet. Net that the floor of the jig is longer than the sides at the far end so that it can be clamped down to the work bench.
  • THANKS SCOTT !!!

     

    Thats what I needed to know to try and do one like that myself : )  Any tips on paper grits ?

  • Yes, it is wide enough for a full-width guitar neck, plus wedges that hold the parts in place. As the face gets sanded, you simply loosen the wedges and move the part forward. Yes, it sands both the neck and head pieces.
  • Questions, is the wooden neck pieces you start out with, the same width of the opening in the jig? It looks WIDE.

    And then, how do you control the incremental forward movement of the neck to keep allowing for more stock removal until you get a 100% clean-up ?

     

    Is the same jig somehow used for the head stock piece then as well ?

     

  • Nope -- just a sanding jig. After lots of experimentation, I found that rubber cement applied to the melamine sled works best for temporarily sticking sandpaper down. A handle(s) on the sled would be an improvement.
  • NOW IT MAKES SENCE i WAS LOOKING FOR  A SAW JIG

  • WOW, and here I was thinking it was somehow going to guide a power sander of some sorts. VERY COOL IDEA !

    One I can use :)

  • Nice job.  I just finished making one myself similar to David Fletcher's of Fletcher's Custom Guitars.  Yours looks a lot wider that mine and with a different angle.  The angle on mine is 12°.
