I live in Blue Ridge Ga., and where Greg (Curbow) went wrong, is that he passed away!!! His Shop/Store was about 6 miles from my Home/Shop (I'm a Luthier, my Bad! Ha!). I almost ended up working there part time (I was a full time C.N.C. Programmer/Machinist), but his wife ended up closing it...

Hey Brother, you da 'man', (small 'm', Ha!). my shopping cart is ready to go, but they don't tell you the shipping cost till you complete the order, not fond of that, but hey!!!! Gb bg

WOW Bruce!!!!!:D Most excellent. If splitting the .250 material with a sharp .04 kerf band saw blade, will the material "Dish"? I'd be up for splitting rather than routing off and wasting around .150 material! Too bad they don't come in .125 thickness for "us" (picky, picky, Ha!! I agree...

Hey Bruce, I can't find the stuff on Masecraft that you mentioned??? Only laminated MOP!

Hey Bruce, Can't seem to find the SYNTHETIC you mentioned, just laminated MOP?

Thanx Bruce, I've come to the same collision, (conclusion, Ha!)! I'm just gonna tell my customer who, thank the Lord, happens to also be a friend, (Phew), that I'm throwing in the Towel on this "MOP-UP", and knocking the $80.00 off my labor charge. I'm on my way to check out Masecraft, per...

Thanx, I designed,and built a great, (and accurate) swinging Jig over 20 years ago that worked out fine, tracking on rails as well. I wanted to simply track my router down the center of the swing axis, and cut by swinging the fingerboard side to side, but "WHADDAYANO", that method produced...

Sounds like this is one way, but as far as accuracy?? The most accurate, (Level/Straight), one can make the fingerboard, the less FRET leveling, crowning, et.al. there is to put up with. As of the past few years, in following this all-important step, I now mostly just PRESS my frets in with...

This ROUTER jig is fine for "Faux" MOP, and creating Radii in WOOD, but when dealing with REAL MOP inlays already installed into the fingerboard, go ONLY with Sanding, or you could be sweeping up some rather EXPENSIVE MOP bits! That is, of course unless you live in the "rarefied" CNC...

Me again! What pivot bearings (McMaster Carr) did you use for this? The Pillow-Block type? Thanx Gb bg

Hey Mate, A VERY COOL design, indeed! Was about to purchase plans for a similar project, when I found yours. A much preferred tool due to the Upper, (outside), as well as the Lower, (inside) Radius cutting capability for creating sanding blocks. I know it's been a long time since 2014, but if...
