In this episode we begin the process of building a neck joint fixture for guitars. It will also serve well as a tool for doing the heel graft inlay as well. First steps are to cut up all the parts and assemble the base.

Thanks for watching!

This week, the routing templates get cut on the CNC and fitted to the fixture. After that, i set about making the vise that will hold the body in place while routing. Things are moving along well!

This episode, I finish up getting the 'neck flap' mounted to the fixture with a little creative clamping. Then I also get the body vise jaws made and mounted so that part is done. After that, a little template mounting and things are almost done. Just a couple more pieces and we can start test cutting!

This week the jig is completed by making the neck clamping system and then doing a couple of test cuts to ensure the templates work correctly. The final results are quite surprisingly good and I'm very pleased with how the jig turned out.

Thanks for watching!
