Sign in to disble this ad
i have been relying on the high school woods lab for my building, but i have been informed that for stupid reasons, this will be the last year i can take that class. i plan to spend the remainder of the school year finishing my current projects, recycling my scraps into body/neck blanks, and getting jigs made. need to start saving up, and choosing tools to buy stagtigically, as well.
i was wondering if there were any jigs and plans any of you would like to share.

Jordan,

Do you have a list of tools that you currently have (better still what tools you have after you loose access to the shop)? That would help us to know what your capabilities are.

somewhere on the web I ran across a neck pocket routing jig -- that would be a good one to whip up.

can you make up some pickup, pickguard and body shape routing templates?

Jordan,
You may also want to consider registering with MIMF. They have a good collection of archives that would be useful.
