@nsj , I don't have all these router jigs like some people lol Have a wee break from making guitars and make some jigs, its just as much fun.

Nice work @nsj! I like it

What an excellent tool-choice. Looks like you'll manage to do a few frets at once with that. Why's Mark never done that in any of his videos ???? 🤣

Hi I'm from England idle breakout
