Hello All, I built this jig to router out binding & purfling channels. I based its design on a picture I saw on the internet, of a guy (Don’t know who?) holding a guitar body up against something attached to a router table. That one picture sparked the idea for the design I came up with. I’m sure I am not the first one to do this. Anyone know who invented this jig? I want to give credit where credit is due.

John Kinkead in his book shows a router table binding channel jig very similar in concept. Colin |

This looks very much like one Tom Bazzolo built long ago John |

Similar also to the one David Russell Young shows in his book also. |

Well, I’m not familiar with any of the names you’ve mentioned, but, from what ya’ll have said, it appears there’s a lot of guys out there with the same idea. Hey Colby - It works very well, but I believe there is room for improvement. I was considering installing a couple of bearings in the vertical guide. Not sure exactly how that would change the operation though. I should say, that (just the way it is) the body of the guitar rides quite nicely along the guide. Also, I go very slowly. You can see the results of this jig in the “Making adjustment for Binding” thread. Be happy to tell you more about, if you want. Hey Ronn - Is that Paul Jacobson, or is that you with your jig? Anyone got any pics of the other guy’s you’ve mentioned? Thanks, Robert Happy Holidays to all!!! |
