Fred started the discussion Hyperkitten Tool Company in the forum Tools and Jigs 8 months ago
Just wanted to say I bought a chisel through Hyperkitten Tool Company and it went great. It’s very old school, ordering and shipping are not a fast process, but if Josh has a tool that piques your interest I highly recommend it. I picked up this long boi paring chisel from the mid to late 1800s and I’m quite happy.

Jorge Rodríguez Spiral Sun Guitars started the discussion Jointing archtop guitar tops in the forum Tools and Jigs 8 months ago
I usually build flat top guitars and usually joint the tops and backs with a Stanley no 5 style of hand plane ( only different brand). I want to build an archtop instrument, and the wood blanks I have are longer than usual and, of course, a lot thicker.
What size plane do you use for kind of job? Would it be easier with a longer plane (6 or 7)?
Thanks!

Here is a super basic thing I just modeled and 3d printed. Small drill guides to place a 2mm hole directly centered in the side of a fretboard. I made a few sizes for different fretboard thicknesses. Seems simple but its a huge time saver.

Modeling / improving on dovetail jig
I’ve seen the Elevate Luthierie jig, and it seems simple enough. One thing I don’t like about their explanation video is the handwaving around “set the joint length where you want it”…feels like even with the jig, you have to do too much measuring to make it fit exactly (or within the tolerance you want)
Given I can model well enough in…

James Larson Blue Wing Instruments started the discussion F5 Modeling attempt. in the forum CAD/CAM 9 months ago
This is a repost from the main feed so it is in the correct forum.
The recent F5 CAD modeling video inspired me to take a stab at it. I use Fusion 360 and have already completed a full A5 model that I’m using to prepare a lot of parts for my CNC. The F5 top seems intimidating. I focused on modeling the scroll alone for now. I didn’t pay…

Gerhard Schwarz started the discussion Pneumatic Fret Tang Nipper in the forum Tools and Jigs 9 months ago
Is there a Pneumatic Fret Tang Nipper out there or did anybody ever combined a Tang Nipper with a pneumatic Plier? Or maybe it is possible to take the Stewmac Tang Nipper (i like the new version) and modify it? I always make 20-40 Sets of frets ready so i can make a lot of fretboards ready in one day. But after a while my hand really hurts. Thank you
