Re: Jig quiz
What I came away with from the other thread, it doesn't matter how you actually do it, as long as you end up with the proper angle at the neck block. This reminded me, I hadn't been measuring this directly as I should. The more I thought about it, the easier it seemed to do.
I used a Martin neck to set the angle on my miter saw, and the rest was easy.

My Engineer friend DaveH on this forum, has ask me several times to design and produce a tool similar to the one you made. Makes sense -- good for you!
Re: Jig quiz
I dunno, seems like you could just buy a $300 tool from Veritas to do the same thing. :-)

Re: Jig quiz
Couldn't you just check the neck block angle with one of these or am I missing something (which I probably am)?

I'm right with you on this one. They are priceless...Tony_in_NYC wrote: Second, the Hitch Hikers guide is the best 4 part trilogy I have ever read. Period.
Also, isn't it a 5 part trilogy? Even Adams himself said (I loosely quote) “I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.”

Mine cost nothing, since it was made from scrap.

Thats what I was going to say, but I couldn't get a Round TOOit.kencierp wrote: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.

Re: Jig quiz
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea. My question was genuine, it does do the same thing correct? I thought yours may also be a sanding jig as well, I couldn't tell.JRHall wrote:First, I'd have to buy one.Ben-Had wrote:Couldn't you just check the neck block angle with one of these or am I missing something (which I probably am)?

Re: Jig quiz
Actually, the gauge you showed measures angles, my jig just checks one specific angle, more of a production check. Also a little more idiot proof :).Ben-Had wrote:Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea. My question was genuine, it does do the same thing correct?
