Your best yet, I think. Really distinctive looks but without being over the top.

Thanks Ashley. ashley

That's the easiest way of doing it. I also (for the very fine logo pocket and inlay) use a small CNC. Rothko & Frost charge a small fortune for the MOP inlays and its easy to compute the tool paths for the fine router bits (0.3 & 0.4 mm).

The awkward thing with headstock templates is clamping the template and leaving room for the router base. I usually pre drill the tuner post holes in the template and use a couple of countersunk bolts through the holes to secure the template and leave a flat working surface. For a slot head put a temp hole down through each slot for the bolts.

If your using multiple templates for the headstock then registration of the templates can be an issue - cutting the outline, drilling tuner holes, slots, logo...

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
