Show us ya jig!

That's a nifty idea!

some of those fretboard jigs are amazing, but it would be quicker to sand a fretboard with a block than to make the jig, and I dont see myself making that many (yet...)

Have a look at these though: fretboard radiusing router bits! In Australia, not that expensive and different sizes:

Thanks Stan

yeah DB, I saw them on the Electric Guitar Builder Resource page on FB.
The demos and vids looked good, thought they seemed to do what they claimed.
Would love to hear from anyone who has tried them

The Radius router bits great idea thanks Stan. Have you guys also tried these Radian 4 flute Router Bits
Much cleaner cuts .

Enter our first 4 flute 51mm router cutter. This is the cutter that launched Radian and is the cutter most craftsman will be amazed by. The quality of this product is immediately apparent as it emerges from its packaging, we use the same premium suppliers as the established router brands and don't scrimp on the specification. Our products aren't cheap Far-East made tools, and are designed for craftsmen who look for the best. This cutter has been developed to be very versatile, be extremely durable and leave a superb finish.

Features

Two top and one bottom bearing to allow flexible template use.
Four micrograin tungsten carbide precision ground blades.
More blades mean less sanding and finishing is required after machining.
Four cutting blades produce a very fine finish.
Great on hard timbers and end grain which can be difficult to finish.
Professional quality materials and workmanship.
The extra Tungsten Carbide gives great durability. Our cutters will go up to twice as far as a similar double flute pro cutters but are not double the price.

Lovin those router bitz...
Need to convince the Minister for War and Finance.

Anyhoo, I got a annoyed yesterday when I knocked every bottle of super glue off the shelf. Again. Etc etc....

So I attacked a chunk of Tassi Black wood and made a rotating super duper space and time modulating glue holder.
Has dish for whip tips, holes for drop fill picks, glue spatulas and pipettes.

Took me 30 minutes.

SM are selling a boring old non rotating blob of MDF for $9? US....... Plus postage?.....

nice work DB, very cool idea and much better than Stewmacs !
If I had a dollar every time I almost spill the bottle of thin superglue or it tips over !

It's like the greatest lazy Susan ever. Well done mate.

[stan]

wow DB that is a cyclic, cyanoacrylic, circular , caddy!

Thought this was a great idea multi radii left flat on the bench you then move the fret board up and down the correct radius for your chosen Fretboard. The pictures say it all lol
