Played a bit with my miter saw and scarf joints on cheap wood. This is what I have learned so far: Since I cannot cut from anywhere in the neck blank, I would need cut the angles for the headstock an...

of course the angle is 15 degrees of a vertical axis. I meant to say 12 degrees, but doesnt matter, I was wrong :-/

Today I discovered I can also angle the miter saw blade vertically. So I actually don't need a jig at all.I'm gonna try that tomorrow! Well that was a bummer.. of course the angle is 15 degrees of a ...

Cheers @boo. Looking a little more into it. I think Elmer may be a Chinese manufacturer who probably do supply Stewmac with certain tools. The Fret Slotting Jig appear identical. 🙏🎶...

Do you know if the Elmer tools on the glued to music site are made by the same people who make the Stewmac tools? They look very similar. @russ I don’t know if they are or not but they do look simila...

Hey @boo. Do you know if the Elmer tools on the glued to music site are made by the same people who make the Stewmac tools? They look very similar. 🤔 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Ah then the price difference is not as bad as I thought it would have been ( of course, still have to take into account import fees I guess )

Where did you get yours from? @koendb There are three different sizes.

@boo yeah that is probably a lot cheaper and does the job just as well. I initially though of using my side level file, which has a 45 and a 90 degree angle, but the file is just a bit too thick for a...

@koendb I got one of these the other week, it does the trick. Attachment : 357AED79-0015-42A5-9A27-A290CF16082E.jpeg Attachment : 14DE2595-8473-4BEF-B938-39B42089F5E6.jpeg Attachment...

Use that carefully and the bottom of the nut slot should be flat, and perpendicular to the end of the fretboard. ordered the 1/8" one straight away! thanks @tv101 Attachment : IMG_20210419_...

🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆😆🤣

I’ll look into those options and then cry (probably) when I see the prices! @mattbeels, yes, but according to boo the tools are so much cheaper that you'll be saving money every time you buy one, so ...

Thanks guys. @tv101 I'll give twisting a go next time, seems obvious now you say it but that's probably the same about a lot of thing. I went with a metal ruler then screw driver in the end, maybe...

Give me a few days to incorporate the mods and I should be able to run an initial batch by the weekend. @darrenking I’ll definitely have one Darren please and one of the neck pocket routing/aligning ...

When can you ship? Give me a few days to incorporate the mods and I should be able to run an initial batch by the weekend.

if the front lip had just a little more surface area I'll just machine a square hole in either side of the rails big enough to get a small clamp through. Simples!

Might the middle tend to get more use than the extreme edges and wear more for example? Birch ply is pretty hard wearing and you'd probably have to surface rout several thousand blanks to see any not...

I wish I'd had one of these this weekend. 50mm seems on the money, the blank I had was 48mm at it's fattest end. I'd stick with a round 50 and then maybe you could look at an extra large version if th...

I'll just repeat ... I have a home-made something that does a similar job. For fixing it down, I can either screw through some holes in the baseboard onto a stand (as Darren has provided for) OR I ...
