I'll post pics tomorrow...I went out and bought a brand new 13" Craftsman Professional thickness planer 
, a 10" Craftsman drill press and a 10" Craftsman bandsaw. After spending 2.5 hours just assembling and setting up the tools, I made a completely done Jazzmaster in about 80 minutes. (The jazzy was too big to run through the planer. 
), but I made another Mercury body, and it fit just fine, and it took less than an hour!
The bandsaw literally takes 1/100th of the time of a jigsaw. boo jigsaws!
oh! I also bought another bad ass plunge router. It came with 2 seperate bases...one for plunge, and the other for stationary with a microadjustment thing...having multiple routers with multiple bits sure makes shit go WAY faster.

I currently own 2 and have 2 others at my disposal. By summer's end, I'm planning on owning at least 4 more. Go to sears, dude (laural cyn and victory) and get one...they aren't that expensive...but, I HIGHLY recommend you get the 1/2" and avoid 1/4" (unless you're out to only make pickguards)

Slightly cheeky question, can you guys make gold anodised pickguards?
The more I look at the pics of the prototype, the more and more I'm tempted to order a Mercury.

aug your thickness planer is for monekys
check out the delta36 planer, its open on end so could technically plane your neighbors dog with no problem.
no actually congrats on the thickness planer i saw that in another thread.
i would love to make necks for you,
but there is no way in fucking hell i would make 8-10 a month a 100 a neck.
you know as well as i that there is too much work to sell it so cheap, if i had some duplicator bit then perhaps, but i do it all by hand and it basically takes 2 weeks to finish a neck anyway. especially maple.

at this point, I'd be satisfied to just find someone who'll make a thick rosewood fretboard with frets for me to just glue onto a maple neck.robert(original) wrote:aug your thickness planer is for monekys

how thick? i usually leave mine at 7 mms, considering the fret slots are 4 mms deep.
i have made one that was 5 mms and the fret slots were probly about 3 1/2 mms deep, its for a baritone tho, and the radius is pretty close to flat.
if you really want a rosewood board i can find you one for cheep but......
still no access to a 24" fretting template, buddy(the cnc guy) is focusing on doing arch top plates at the moment and thats not high on his list.
altho i think there is a company that makes them for pretty cheap.
i'll look around today.
