RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper Looks good @wayne_f. On the next fillet just get it close but not fitting in the slot. Then sand it to the final thickness with a sanding block to get the snug fit you want. |

RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper @Wayne_F @robinSomehow that never occurred to me. I could add maybe 1/4" of height and that would probably take care of it. Thank you. I've had a lot of help and advice from this group, I'm glad to ... |

RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper @Wayne_F That little practice neck was worth doing, and I like the shape of the headstock. Would it be an option to make your headstock routing jig just a little deeper, so that your router base would... |
