Had not realised I had not uploaded this one, so for your perusing pleasure or to rip me a new one for even thinking of doing it. :)

The jig I used was from a business called luthiertool, Chris makes IMO some of the nicest tools out there, expensive but nice

I am so looking forward to his final development of his automatic side bending jig, it's clearly a re-development of Taylor's programmable unit, but available for us the general public.

I also have his vacuum table and headstock jigs for classical and electric and uke's, craftsman ship unsurpassed but not cheap stuff.

Cool, I have that vice for end wedges, a real miss of mine for not seeing that I could use it for a sound port as well.
