Hi all, thanks to the OLF and all the members here who make this community so great, i gathered some very useful tips on jig making and i was quite busy lately preparing my bender, thickness gauge and a mini router table and i thought i would share pics with you folks.

1-The bender wired up and ready! Thanks to Bruce for the safety warnings!





2- The thickness gauge, thanks to Shane for the inspiration !





3- My router table which will help me with profiling, Thanks to BobC





4- Glue up of Lutz tops and EIR backs with HHG, Thanks to Mario and Shane and others for the wealth of information received, this stuff is just crazy





5- Last but not least, ya'll know me for LOL, BUT, when it comes to learning, i'm very serious and do my homeworks, Thanks TO Michael Payne and others who strongly recommended this! And Tippie, thanks for the pen!

sure did while working on HHG !, the first 2 batches went down the drain and the 3rd one was sticky as a bug on my windshield!

Congrats Serge, I too am a jig junky when it comes to guitar building. Funny thing is I was actually almost an antijig guy in traditional woodworking......Huuuuuummmmm!
