I had to make a new template out of aluminum. My first template was for a 25.5" scale guitar neck, and I needed a template for a 34" bass guitar scale neck. Once I made my template it was easy work. Here are a few pictures and a video:
Old template, new template
I made four purpleheart fretboards. If I'm going to make one, I might as well make several.
Here is what it looks like when it is finished.

I shot this video in a cluttered garage, so sorry about the mess. Also, I don't demonstrate very good safety procedures... Be careful whenever using a table saw. These things take off peoples' fingers every day. Lucky for me, it's only poking up about 1/8", and it's a very thin kerf, but I should be more careful anyway.
by any chance do you know how to do a table saw alignment for a vintage table saw?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to use the fretboard that was removed instead of building a new one?
