Jig quiz
After following a discussion in another thread, I realized the need for the following jig. See if you can guess what it's for.
More pictures will follow.

Re: Jig quiz
The cross bar (on the right in the picture) is placed at the bridge location on the rims. Grab the handle (pointing down on the left) and sand the correct angle into the upper bout from the soundhole to the neck block.
I could be way off - just a guess :) lets see it in action...

Re: Jig quiz
It could also be a 'rubberband crossbow' like I made for my 6 year-old the other week...
I don't remember a crossbow thread around here for some time though. :)

Re: Jig quiz
It's a push stick to keep your hands clear of the spinning point things in the tool it is sitting on.

Re: Jig quiz
OK, time for a hint.
It was a response to the HD28 thread.

Whenever I use any power tool I remember this exchange from THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY:Tony_in_NYC wrote:It's a push stick to keep your hands clear of the spinning point things in the tool it is sitting on.
[Construction Supervisor] Mr. Dent, have you any idea how much damage this bulldozer would suffer if I were to let it run straight over you?
[Arthur Dent] How much?
[Construction Supervisor] None at all!
And that's exactly how much damage would happen to my Unisaw if I let my danglie parts get too close.

First, you work in the nude? Eww.
Second, the Hitch Hikers guide is the best 4 part trilogy I have ever read. Period.

Re: Jig quiz
I know, I know, I actually own one of these, find it quite useful, it's called a skeetar launcher! It is used when I build a real crappy guitar, it's real similar to a skeet launcher, but instead of skeets being launched into the air and subsequently being blown into a million pieces, the crappy guitar is loaded up and well, need I say more? This one is, however, much smaller than the model that I have, I'm guessing that it is more of a uke model, hand held. In addition to being larger, mine came stock with a heavy duty launching spring and a tri-pod, but for the life of me I can't figure out what use Jim Hall would have for one of these contraptions!

Re: Jig quiz
1.3/1.5 degree neck block slope checker -- stretcher lays across the rim at the sound hole edge or waist curve "L" against the rim at the neck.
