| Click on the links below for my other jigs and tools. This picture is one of my most used and surprisingly effective tools. It is a go-bar deck. For centuries this method of clamping has been used by luthiers. This is simply my version of the tool. 5/16 inch by 36 inch long hardwood dowels are sprung into place. By careful placement and cleaning up the squeezed out glue, a wonderful bracing structure can be effected for the acoustic guitar. This rudimentary and quickly built tool from scrap, may see me through my entire career as a luthier. |
