Bob's Neck Planing Jig - how to get the perfect radius with hand tools - Luthier 101

Hi Bob, Michelle! Love your work, great jig for accuracy!

One thing in my life that I would have loved to do is travel from Quebec to the US to go meet with Bob and Michelle but probably will never have the chance ! Thanks from the bottom of my heart to be here with us and share the knowledge with Michelle's warm laughter !

Great Idea!

I have a problem with many fretboard radiusing videos, jigs and tutorials: the length of sandpaper visiting each part of the fretboad is very unequal. Far ends, at the nut and the heel, get a lot less abrasion compared to the middle of the fretboard. You have to bring your sanding block all the way past the end of the fretboard for even abrasion. Alternatively you can linger on the ends, pass several times over these areas.

yes, this is why i say that the jig cannot be used to finish the boards radius and relief. you need to switch to shorter blocks by hand to accomplish a perfect playing surface. you obviously know what im talking about.

Bob, when it comes to voicing guitar amplifier preamp, would you consider sharing any thoughts on the idea of having “space around the notes”? I think this would be a fascinating video topic. Thanks again.
