You can read about it here: http://jrkluthier.co.uk/the_side_jig.php And you can see a video of him using it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKOsrf2J3O0 The jig he sells for £80 but you can make one for a ...

Re: Newbie Seeks advice
Hi Ciaran Nice to see someone else from this side of the pond :) I've bought most of the books for building acoustics and the two that I really like are Step by Step by Alex Willis and Jonathan Kinkead's book Build your own. Both books come with plans which will help you out to begin with, although ...

Re: The #6 Fore Plane.
I have both the number 6 and 7. My No.6 is a Stanley and my No.7 is a Record, I have other planes (3 x No.4,1 x 41/2 and a few others). I prefer my No.6 for jointing backs and tops as its heavier than my No.7, I use a shooting board with the plane. I also changed the blade to a Japanese blade which ...

Re: Is the Bosch POF 1200 AE suitable for neck cavities?
You asked for an opinion of a type of router that you were interested in buying, Arnt very kindly answered your post and then you are discourteous towards him. Normally people say thank you when someone responds to the message that they have posted.

Re: Is the Bosch POF 1200 AE suitable for neck cavities?
Before I follow your instructions and “wise up”, let me see if I understand you correctly. First you get a POF 1400 and wreck it. You conclude that it’s a poor tool, so you …get another POF 1400 and wreck it. Then you find a forum and advise people on routers durability. You asked a question about ...

Re: Shop tour
The binding jig was made by Garry Hallam in the UK, and sold to a few of the folks who frequent the TLC forum. I guess the idea to build them came about in a discussion about Jim Olsen's binding jig over there, but several different designs and options were discussed, and I think he built a prototy...
