Official Luthiers Forum!

I'm trying to figure out how to acheive the right shape
and fit for the sides of a Weissenborn. ToddStock's
illustration in the link below answered most of my
questions but I'm a little confused (my fault, not
Toddstock) about the height of the blocks used to
elevate the mold and the blocks used to hold the
pencil. Are the blocks at the nut and tail end,
suppose to be the same height as the depth of each
end? In other words let say the guitar is 1-1/2" depth
at the nut and 3" at the tail end, should the blocks
that the mold is mounted on be the same height?
The pencil mounted in the block is 3" from the top of
the sides... yes? The Weissenborn threads on this
forum really helped me alot. Thanks.

Thanks ToddStock for your reply. I was initially under
the impression that the illustration you posted was
the guitar mold with a few blocks. Now I see that this
( jig) is a project in itself. Is there a simplier way to
shape the sides without having to build a jig? Just
like to add that your work is very neat and well
thought out. I look foward to seeing your next
Weissenborn construction installment .Thanks.
