    nice looking jig DB, do we get a prize for getting the correct answer or a NR sentence reduction ?
    I haven't seen this so you must have recently built it. I'm confused but am thinking its for lining up the set neck of G type guitars without having to put your bridge posts in ?
    I don't think I'm anywhere near warm !

    you got me thinking now DB, I think the bridge is just a way of holding the clamp into the jig, so that put me off.
    Let me think about it a bit more

    is it a new device to clock Magpies fans ? haha not really, I can see some straps could be the clue.
    I'm leaving work so I'll have a think on my ride home
