Davis guitars Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 im building a lp style guitar for my shop class and im ready to route the neck pocket but theres not really any way for me to do it at school ... no jigs or anything so my question is do u guys think it would be ok the route the pocket a little deep and then glue a wedge in?(they wont like us take our projects home till they are done otherwise id do it there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Dude, if you have scraps of ply or MDF and a few screws, you have all the tools needed to route an angle neck pocket. Jigs just make it easier to do once they're built, but they're certainly not necessary. Hell, all I've ever done neck pockets with to date is scraps of ply and a few screws. Maybe a clamp. Alternately, just angle the tenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prs man Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 angle the neck tenon. I used a small hand plane and the edge sander it turned out fine. be sure you mark out the angle you want with a protrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Use what people used for hundreds of years before electricity was invented... a chisel. Thats what you SHOULD be using if you really want to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
