Brace Radius Jigs
Guys brought materials to make their own brace radius jigs. First the jig material was milled to size. The original template was attached to the jig material with double sided tape. Then the jig was shaped with a flush trim bit at the router table.
Back Bracing
Robbie and Howard discuss the next steps for the back bracing. They met at Howard's shop a few days after the meeting to shape the braces.
Robbie's Neck Problem
Robbie was having problems fitting the dovetail joint and positioning the tuner holes on his kit guitar. Chet gave him advice and some mahogany veneer to shim the dovetail joint.
