i reckon there's something in this idea Andrew!

maybe also templates for popular body shapes, neck shapes, and so on

good luck bro ...

gahhh but im lazy!!!!!!
lol

we shall see how i go with these, will post them in the forsale section if none of the boys here want them

good thinking man. They would be heaps helpful for those starting out..I reckon body template would sell too. Especially the common ones like strat, tele, les paul and rg..
How much ya thinking of selling them for?

Templates for hardware is probably a worthwhile start ... but I wonder if templates for body shapes is going to get you into copyright waters?

But I figure the worst that could happen is that you get a 'cease and desist' letter which you can frame and put up in your workshop.

ya know

in this world where a few trillions have been lost via wholesale fraud and none of the fraudsters actually 'driven to justice'

a few geetar templates might just be the thing one gets landed in jail for

thus i have to agree dadovfor

He's just gotta hope that his cell mate isn't well equipped!!

pfft im too lazy to deal with that crap,
was never thinking of doing bodies lol
wasnt really planning to do many more routing templates anyway

to further that, i havnt been on it for a while but i know a few guys on the tele forum that sell tele body and cavity templates aswell as plans.... haha

omg i would die without my daily junk fooods

so....
i spent a few days last week, resetting the handles, cleaning, sharpening, and setting up my two large timber planes... (the big ones made of wood)

and i have to say,
HOLY CRAP, the one my neighbours got me for my birthday is amazing.... (i guess my setup has something to do with it going so smooth )

i forget that its branded as, mathieson and sons or something....
made in glasgow

here she is



now, i was talking to jeremy the other day, and i remembered i got a few bits of whethered qld maple from the bloke when i went to get the macassar ebony,
so i thought that they would be the perfect test for the planes i had just set up....
and well....
to my surprise....
from under the black whethered outer layer, figure appeared lol



pitty about the knot







who wants to rip them up and thickness them for me


i decided to change up the body design a little, so i drew it all out on some mdf....
to make a new template....

will work on an inlay design next i reckon....







i still gotta go get some neck woods...
now that i have my measurements i can call up and get them to cut it up and thickness it for me

hopefully next week i shall get onto cutting some damn wood

i still need to grab some trussrods

That Wood Plane Andy made in Glasgow Scotland, Same as me and its got my name on it. Send it over to Tassie or you will be doing the Jailhouse Rock.
Cheers Bob,
