This year I made a "L1" style guitar and here are some of the jigs used. They all are fairly standard but with some additions. I will add some pics of the guitar to the gallery soon.

See "file comment" for a brief description. Hopefully the pics are self explanation as typing is not my strong suit.

Thanks for these photos! I really like the side press and clamping system.

These are some bloody brilliant tweaks to "well known" tools!

I have wondered many times why people would use light bulbs as a heat source, rather than IR bulbs or some other device designed to heat up things.

Could you please lend me your dad for, let's say the time he needs to build me a CNC machine?

Congrats Luke! (regarding both, your jigs and your dad).

Some good work there, I had never thought about using a strip heater as a heat source, makes perfect sense really.

Some smart thinking there, Luke, and a very nice guitar, too.

Hi Luke....Nice jigging there.....
