Hi all, I didnt know about this group, looks real interestin. I made a Japanese style hammer for knocking in side markers etc, & a fretting jig, maybe you have seen it all before, but I will classify it here.

This is pretty obvious.   But I haven't seen it before.  I use Gorilla glue to glue a scrap of wood to the jaws of my clamps.  To prevent marring the wood I am clamping.  When clamping 2 or more pieces for glueing, sometimes it is very cumbersome to fit the pieces plus the scraps into the clamp.  One less thing to deal with.  Sometimes the glue on the jaws fails, but I am having pretty good luck with this method.

I saw a post somewhere where a person was looking for an easy way to set the neck on a back angle from the top of the box. I used a cedar shingle. I cut it to neck width and length of the box and then used it as a saw guide to cut the back angle on a table saw. I just attached it to the neck with double faced tape. This gave me about a 1.5 degree back angle and allowed me to raise the bridge between 1/8 and 1/4 inch.

I am running my necks just to the back of the box and using a tail piece.
