Hello all. Last week I was asking around for a pic of this type of holding tray as opposed to a Williams/Fleishman style cradle. The other type would work, but this is a little more streamlined for my needs. I don't have room for a parallelogram type of binding machine and so use a handheld router and jig to cut my binding channels. I made this from memory but it is pretty close to others I have seen. There is another set of bolt holes that you can't see that accomodate a smaller guitar body (parlor). There is plenty of room around the perimeter to clamp the tray to the bench and initial tests confirm that the jig holds the body nice and snug without damaging anything. Hope some of you can use the idea as well.2007-11-05_012129_100_0829a.jpg">TommyC/2007-11-05_012202_100_0831a.jpg"> |

Man, this is frustrating. Does anyone have an idea why my photos are not appearing? I've uploaded plenty of photo's to Myspace and have not experienced any problems. Any idea's? |

See the code below for how it's done... just remove the space thats in the first IMG tag, I put it there so it wouldn't show up...

I had to circumvent the problem. I am using a mac these days and suspect that it was part of the problem. I emailed the pics to myself and then opened them and uploaded them to OLF with my wifes pc laptop. I wonder what's up? Anyway...Hope you can use the idea. |

Tommy, the only thing I noticed is that there is no height adjustment. Maybe the way you route the channels theres no need for it. Normally you neet to raise the upper bout to compensate the back taper so that the sides are all at the same angle. |

Peter, remember that I don't use a router on an arm but a handheld router jig so the height adjustment is not necessary. |

I don't think a height adjustment is required if using a handheld router/trimmer that registers off the top or back. Even if you're using a tool like the luthier tool binding jig, it won't matter. If you're using an LMI, fleischman (sp?) style setup, a height adjustment would be necessary. |
