 No
one said that your jigs had to be pretty. To cut the headstock
angle, I just needed something to hold the chunk of wood at a
thirteen degree angle. So I took a piece of particle board and
screwed a scrap
wood stop to it and I was in business. I made the first cut
wide then slowly made light passes until the edge of the cut just
met the line for the backside of the nut as that is where my
headstock starts to tilt back. Honestly, I made about a dozen
passes. You don’t want to take too much off or it’s back to the
start. Remember, you can always trim a little more off, but you
can’t add more back on. |
