Show us yer jigs!

I thought I'd start a thread to get  the makers here to show off the jigs that they are chuffed with. We all make guitars and other fancy instruments by hand but that does invole machinery now and then when we need a bit of accuracy or repeatability that isn't possible or would be too time consuming to do by hand. 

I'll start with my jigs that I use to make pyramid bridges, there is still a bit of smoothing and softening of edges to do afterwards but lots of the work is done with a router in about 5 minutes. If I was smarter I would make more than one at a time but calls for a level of organisation that is way beyond me!

This uses 3 jigs and a router held upside down in a router table with a beefy router bit with a follower bearing


I start with a piece of wood, in this case Rosewood about 153x28mm (the originals are 6"x 1" but I feel that is a little small for todays hefty strings so I add a little to the width and depth)



Then I pop it into this jig which creates the curve for the top



Then into another one which will shape the ramps, I have clamped a piece of scrap to stop the endgrain splitting

Then turn it over and do the other side like so


Then into the next jig which shapes the ends and sides. First it is stood up to cut the angle on the ends




Then the sides

and that's it! This is how it looks after all the jiggery, a bit rough around the edges still


And this is how it looks all tarted up and stuck on a guitar
