I found an old church beam. 50 years old. Probably Douglas fir
I cut the beam into boards for future projects. I kept 2 boards for guitar bodies
Before I start I need to make new jigs
and the results?
Here's the new fret slot jig. No reason to fail this time!
Since I hate sanding, I created a radius jig from Chris Monck's plan
Once radiused, still need to sand. Why not make radiused sanding blocks
Let's make some 12in radius sanding blocks
Cut in 6in lenght then sanding the blocks
Let's try these jigs
Install the board on the jig
Use the radius jig
Test the fret slot jig
Thank you!
