verhoevenc Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hey folks. When I made the Myka jig that I used in the second half of this video, I made a bunch of them! What this jig comes with: Base, slotted fences, adjustable angle with locks, rails. Most parts are nailed, screwed, AND glued to make things very sturdy! For the same reason it's also made from nice hardwood ply. Some assembly required: Although it will come mostly assembled it does come with the fences quite tall to accommodate those that build thicker bodies. You have two options if you don't build thicker stuff: unscrew the fences, run them through the table saw to desired height, re-screw of. The only other piece you have to do is make the corresponding slots/holes in the rail ends for bolting them down. I left these undone as people tend to have differing preferences in the kinds of bolts they use, etc. for this same reason I don't include these bolts. I just use some $1.88/bag machine screws with washer and nut from the Depot personally. I'd like $200 + S&H. As these do use a decent amount of material I'm happy to take you're apart to save on the space aspect of things if you'd like. I have 5 of these.

SwedishLuthier Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have been planning to make a jig like that for quite some time but havn't been able to find the time to build one. Just a question : Will the jig accept a body that is 20.5" long to fit my NorthStar body? If so Im in for one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I specifically made them longer than my original prototype which would not fit my 'Meeting' shape or my friends Jazzmaster body with room to spare. These do. Let me get an exacting measurement for you when I get home to be 100% sure. Also, let me weigh it and check pricing as I'm not sure shipping this to Sweden is going to be cost effective :S Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Will accommodate your shape. PM sent. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featured Comment verhoevenc Posted July 27, 2021 Author Featured Comment Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I’m moving. I still have a few of these. You can have them FOR FREE but you have to pick them up (I’m way too busy to ship things now). I’m in the DC suburbs of Maryland. PM me if you’re interested. They get trashed mid-September.
