How many sizes can that accomodate? I like the concept. But do I have to remove to check my progress? I like 7mm dots. Does it work for that? How does it actually locate double dots?

On the double dot thing: I watched the video. It appears that if you wanted a space of 1” between them, then you place a 1” spacer on one side of the fretboard and use as normal, flip it around and do the same thing.

I also wondered about various dot sizes. I generally do 6 mm, but on double dots I do one size smaller (I feel they get bunched up).

Cool design and beautiful tool! Only one size guide would be the deal-breaker for me though.

Perhaps you could include 1/4 inch center punch of some kind or make a smaller guide for a small punch. Drilling is the easy part, measuring is the time consuming part if you're not using a template.

I agree on the size issue.
Really slick, but having different sizes would push it from “really slick” to “purchase”, at least for this hobby builder

It’s something I’ve considered. At this point, it’s simply cost prohibitive as it could easily triple to cost of the jig. Due to both the extra cost of production and the added expense of more bushings. Honestly, it may be cheaper to have a custome one made for the other size(s) you’d want other than 1/4”.

We had a tool very similar to that at Larrivee, except it was aluminum and weighed a ton and did the whole fingerboard at once.. Instead of having a drill bushing, it had a springloaded punch in each dot position. You'd take a hammer, whack each dot position, and the board would have punches in all appropriate positions...
