For those of you that have a bad case of TAS and just can't find a new tool to relieve the weight on your wallet, you could always add this to your collection.

New from Luthier Tools Neck Angle, Mortise & Tenon fixture combo


Hum having picture posting issues back later

OK here they are




Lot more to this to see. Like the mortise and tenon templates and much more. Nice but is also a pretty penneyMichaelP39070.4758449074

Does it do anything different than the Woolson/Fox jig? The plans are available for around $25 and it's simple to build.

Rod...I recently completed the jig. It works like a charm. Paul's design is great and Michael's plans are clear and easy to follow.

Hi and thank you.

I'm from the Toronto area and have been building for about 3 years now with my 5th guitar almost finished. I must say the hardest part so far is the neck joint in my mind anyway. I like the dovetail joint for the neck and that's why the interest in the jig.

How about yourself?
