Jig upgrades

I broke my piccolo mould since I got into a bad habit of using it
bending the sides. So I make a new sturdier one. Next to it is a new
template for tenor necks. It is made with a spanish heel in mind, but
since my bolt-ons have gotten so good I consider making the next tenor
that way.

After lunch I'll resaw wood for Alli's tenor. I'm leaning towards
alder, but there is some cherry between me and the saw...

The MRSG in use

And here's a very suave young fellow using the block. Li took the pic.

I feel that with this simple sanding block my troubles are, if not
entirely gone, at least greatly reduced. And customers will have the
added satisfaction of knowing every uke was between my legs for an
hour during making.

Multi-radii sanding gizmo

I threw it together after dinner today. It is for sanding those pesky
sides at the waist. Paper is clamped by a piece of scrap with a
slightly convex surface towards the block. This gives pressure in its'
entire length.
