I have no hope in hell of answering correctly. Hence I'm shooting for a participation award .

It almost appears in the pic as if the right angle bracket thingys stuck to the outside edge are sitting slightly proud of the timber (but this may just be an illusion created by the rolled edge on the front side) which makes me think it may help facilitate the drying or settling process somehow, but then again the drying should have been done on the clamps so...yeah...naa...I don't know:P

Is it used to true up the neck blank?

Very close!
There is a clue in the alignment of the angle irons.....

[gavinturner]

The irons are positioned to give you a quick guide as to fretboard placement?

cheers,
Gav.

[gavinturner]

The first iron shows the position of the nut. The last one the position of the bridge. You can mark them off easily in this configuration prior to later wood assembly..? (I guess the middle one would then be the end of the fretboard?)

cheers,
Gav.

Not sure which jig youre talking about, but the red one in the last photo is a Stewmac repeair vise and can be used for just about everything, so I dont think Im talking about the right jig.

[wokkaboy]

are the angle irons slightly angled so the neck face has a radius ? Its hard to see in the photo DB
This doesn't make sense as you have to glue a flat fingerboard to the surface

[dingobass]

Dan is on the right track....

[wokkaboy]

the neck blank looks aligned with the angle irons so you know the edges are parallel along the whole length of the blank once its glued?
