Might take me a while, but when it's done, I'll share my plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Shaping what part? The profile or the "neck carve"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mledbetter Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 For shaping fingerboard radii.. there are a few jigs I have seen. They all involve the router sliding along 2 parallel pipes on lateral roller bearings. Then, underneath the rotuer is a pivot box. Your fingerboard sits on top and the pivots are set on each side.. basically however many inches from the face of the board as you want your radius to be. It works for compound just by having pivot points of different lengths. i.e. 12" on the heel end and 9 inches on the nut end. It's elaborate and expensive to build and I would imagine it's pretty fussy. I think one would be better off building a duplicarver. With that you could do the fingerboard and the beck profile all with the same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
