That's impressive work @bpower, looking good. I'm planning on building an acoustic but I don't think I'm ready yet. I'll maybe build just one more electric first.

RE: Handmade jigs and tools

I like you're style @bpower , part of the fun of guitar building for me is finding a way to do it. You're next challenge is to add dust extraction to your thicknesser.
