I have two:

1) Sylvan's guitar holder.

2) John Mayes' plate joining fixture.

What tips from the forumites did others find most significant?

My thanks to Sylvan and John for making my life easier! And thanks to all who have shared their great ideas. I only wish I had more time to try them all.

Happy New Year!

[QUOTE=JJ Donohue] I have two:

1) All of Sylvan's fingerboard jigs (profile, radius, fretting)
2) Maye's jointing board
3) John Howe's bridge and brace jigs

There are many more and if I missed you I apologize. I have gotten so many good tips on the OLF it is impossible to keep track of the all. Bet 2005 is just as great!

Hey, I missed John Mayes shooting board or plate joining? Brock showed his just the last week and it appears to be a foolproof setup. Anyone have a link to or can you explain what John is doing? John? Thanks.

Bruce...It was on his DVD. It may be on his site. If I can get a pic, I'll send it. I'm packing for CA right now.
