Thanx again gents!..here is the good news...took one day to design on cad...about well 7 hours anyway..then 2 hours cutting time in total with moving wood about and finding the operation system this one needed..that was spread over 3 days that I can be in the workshop,but the next one should there ever be one will only take from blank wood to complete guitar 7 hours at most that with some lunch thrown in ! so getting better at doing this, I can feel the improvements but the repeat actions from the last few..so something is sinking in,definatly waaay less work that a full floater Trem , but still had to turn the blank over to machine the back pockets, so need to make a jig now that i can use for mulitple designs ...im marking the wood with a cross reference point and a moark on th eopposite side to give me my zero and centre line...that needs to me a mechanical placement with pins in the wood..but thats still a pian in th ebut as you have to put the pins in..so looking at a clamping system to grab like im doing now but be able to flip the stock over and keep the reference point that will save 30 min or so setup time..thats the time it take to cut out 2 guitars with pockets
cheers
