Scarf Joint Jigs and New Boxes Cigar Box Guitar

[@FantaconeBoxWorksCBG]

Great method. I pin my scarf joints with a 1/4 dowl. Cutting head shape before gluing is a lesson i learned once, lol.

[@WoodPortGuitars]

I am going to try a pinning method on my next scarf joints. Still working on my process. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@CigarboxSchulzi]

Thanks, I‘m going to try the glueing-jig! 👍🏻

[@WoodPortGuitars]

Awesome, it saves some aggravation for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@charliezammit40]

Your videos are so enlightening and very informative,I thank you for answering my last guest ion about the finish of the guitar

[@WoodPortGuitars]

Thank you! That is an awesome compliment, I am grateful. Thank you for watching and communicating, I do appreciate it. Cheers!

I used to use stop blocks to glue up the scarf joint, worked great...but now I use 2 or 3 toothpicks as tiny dowels to keep the pieces from moving... I made a large jig like your scarf joint jig (minus the angle) but I use mine for fret slot cutting and carving the neck... I have an adjustable section to accommodate the angled headstock for clamping...

[@WoodPortGuitars]

I tried something like that with two small tacks nailed in, then clipped short. If I could figure out how to hide the toothpick dowels, I would try that again. I will have to make a section for my jig to have a spot to clamp the headstock down for carving the neck. Thanks. You have given me some ideas! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Those scarf joint jigs work great. I made one for my miter saw and one for my band saw. Great video thanks. 👍👍👍🎸

[@WoodPortGuitars]

I was thinking maybe one for the table saw. Future project. Thanks for watching!

Thanks man!!! That glue jig is fantastic! Such a great idea!!!!! Thank you!!! Love that white box as well. I have finally got my first CBG built. Flaws in it, but learned things not to do. Haha! It sounds really good though. 😊😊 Thanks again for all your help! Again….. so cool watching your perfect building!!!!

[@WoodPortGuitars]

[@Crosshatch1212]

It goes like that for frst few 😂

[@stan5513]

I pin the joint with two toothpicks drilled from the top and ending blind in the neck. No sliding!

[@WoodPortGuitars]

I did that on a later build. Works good! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@ian5780]

I made one of those jigs the other day. Its inferior but worked great for my liking.

[@WoodPortGuitars]

Awesome. I think it makes glue up faster and fewer adjustments. Thanks for watching!
