Boocan Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Cool radius jig man! I'm gonna build one of those! Jealous of that nice bookmatched cocobolo you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissism Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The jigs that people come up with on this forum are amazing! How many ways can you make the same thing? I'd have to say that this looks like it'll become my favorite way to radius a fingerboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Crafty! So all you do is build a new sled if you want a different radius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitart Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Crafty! So all you do is build a new sled if you want a different radius? That is correct sir.... just need to take into consideration the fingerboard height compared to the height of the pipes. Then you can adjust the radius and make a new cradle.....

Dean Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Went over to my dad's shop tonight and got some work done. Check it out. here are some of the neck parts,, rough cut and close to thickness. And here's the top book-match. I see the fire breathing devil skull in the top of that wood, but that is just me.You put the neck thru his face.Still like the build ,very nice.Wish my dad had a shop like that.I love the exstreams on this forum one guy has no tools and another has access to a shop.Not hate'n just love the span of resourses for builds,and some of the cool ways people get around them.
