How does one go about routing the binding channel on a drop top forearm cut? Any tips tricks would be appreciated.

Looks like a job for a gramil!
Or you could use a CNC router. But, you know. Gramil's cheaper.

How do you bend the top to fit the body? How do you calculate the angle of the forarm rest?

Theres also a much more expensive jig on stewmac. Other than that, I have no idea, never did binding of that sort, just happened to come across this tool the other day.

A lot of laminate trimmers come with such a type of jig/accessory that will do what the stewmac binding attachment does.

Absolutely no idea! Probably incantations and pixie dust.

Does anyone have any idea how to bend a top to fit a fore arm contour?
