Side and End Elevations: : This supplements the top view above. It shows the depth and dimensions of the form, how to attach removable end blocks and the hardware required for each. Also I've shown alternate securement of the end blocks with threaded inserts. Guitar Workboard: This is a rather simple jig to make, but a very important one. I show the guitar outline, strapping securement studs, neck extension and access port.
Note: That these forms are designed to be used with the Ultimate Guitar Online Guitar Plans or the Ultimate Guitar Building Plans and the sizes are designed for each of the guitar shapes listed below. The Guitar Plate Clamping Jig is a relatively simple jig to make, but it is also a very necessary one. Essential in the construction of this jig are the cams and how they are fastened to the base board. Jig Cams: Undoubtedly the most critical element of this jig are the lockable cams.
Seam Hold-Down Board: The third movable component on this jig is the center hold-down board or fixture. The fixture also need to be adjustable as to be able to place the fixture over the center of different sized top plates. Again it is done by slotting the Jig Base and allowing for about a 3 inch travel. As I always stress, when you make your jigs, molds, templates etc.
Make them in such as was as to show them off. Are you interested in a detailed plan of this jig? If so we will be putting together plans for all the jigs, molds and specialty tools that we talk about on this site. Be sure to leave a comment that you would like one or drop me an email. The pricing will be very reasonable and will save you a lot of time and take the guesswork out of something that is proven to work.
One of the guitar specialty tools you should have to do without. That is the slang term for a great jig or specialized guitar making tool that will quickly and efficiently let you glue the braces on your top and back plates. If you have ever have tried to glue top braces on a top plate with a combination of deep throat clamps, wood cam clamps, spring clamps or a combination of them, you know that it is not an easy task.
Some of the negatives of using the direct clamping system are as follows:. This is a great tool to have in a guitar shop, even if you make only one guitar at a time or several. The second piece in this brace-clamping pie are the actual dowels that apply pressure to the braces.
You have several options available to you. An alternative to the tapering is to place a rubber foot over the end of the dowel, which adds slip resistance and completely protects the brace. The main problem with dowels is that after repeated use they tend to retain some memory of the bend and loose their effectiveness.
This is a new and improved version of our original go-board clamping system, which features an easily adjustable plywood clamping plate. This allows you to adjust for more clamping pressure, additional or less brace heights and best of all, you can simply insert a back or top arch form right in the jig and you can automatically clamp with your desired arch..
There is not much that is more boring than standing at the band saw and trying to cut kerfing slots with consistent spacing. Sure you can put a mark on the table of the saw and follow that until you just about go blind. Then it happens - you are just about done and you cut through the back of the lining because the kerfing slot went too deep. Okay start over!! This jig was conceived as I was doing some of this mind numbing work. I usually cut enough kerfing for several guitars to save the setup time, and because I hated doing it so much.
I thought, there has to be a better way to do this. And guess what? Yep, there is and now you can escape the monotony of cutting kerfing channels too, with my handy little kerfing tool. Okay it does not do it automatically, but it sure does speed up the process and you get great consistent results without ruining the lining unless you don't hold the lining firmly against the fence.
This tool in intended for use on a Band Saw. The tool fits over the entire width of the table and you will drill and tap into the side of the Band Saw Table to secure the jig. This is absolutely essential as we really need this tool to be solidly held in place. This is done by a couple of plastic knobbed studs that secure the jig at its aluminum side plates. The tool is made in three layers and does not use the miter slot of the Band Saw. The reason for this is that most saws only have one miter slot and the tool would just bind in one slot.
The bridge ramp sanding jig has just one purpose in life. That is to sand the gentle curved ramps on the belly bridge, evenly and consistently. If you have ever tried to do these by hand, you will really appreciate this jig. To get the ramps on both sides of the bridge to look symetrical is not only a challenge, you will probably go through several bridge blanks before you get it right.
Start out by inspecting your Stationary Belt Sander. The support plate offers 19 mm wide slots to hold the carriage rails. The slot in the center is one the one hand used as vertical guide for the axis if the neck rest beam and on the other hand you can screw the ball bearing mechanism into this slot. I tried to make this jig as flexible as possible so I added a clamping mechanism as depth stop for the carriage rails.
The initial setup takes a little bit longer due to this option but it can be very accurately calibrated. I tried several ways to attach the bearnig ball to the support plate. At the end I found an axis which is normally used for smaller wheels. It has a diameter of 8 mm which fits perfectly to the inner diameter of the ball bearing 8 mm x 22 mm x 7 mm. I used some super glue to fix it permanently.
Two wing nuts are used for every depth stop because they have to withstand a good amount of pressure caused by the weight of the plunge router.
The top edge of the carriage rails are coverd with a u-shaped aluminium profile. I did not make any drawings or CAD files for the rails because they are basically just straight rectangles. I used some scrap wood which was left over from a shelf. The springs are fastened with M8 machine screws. You can slightly adjust the spring tension by adjusting their vertical position.
From my experience, the upper most position feels just right. The position of the carriage relative to the rails is fixed by 6 ball brarings ball bearing 8 mm x 22 mm x 7 mm. They are easily accessible from the top with a hex wrench to fine tune the position and to prevent if from wiggling. La Prevotte Ca.
