CNC hack
Depending on what you're building you can probably find pre cut templates on eBay too.Damn really? I'll try looking around Chicago to find a place then, for that much I'll happily buy them instead.

That I sadly can't find. I'm making a blackmachine, I have the blueprints, but I can't find any premade templates.Depending on what you're building you can probably find pre cut templates on eBay too.

Oh damn, I'll try and contact him to get a price. Thank you!https://www.instagram.com/p/BfZNvhXBKA1/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1bbly5palcscq
Julius Jahn makes templates. He's done a couple for me in the past and they were good.
Nice reminder of why guitars get painted!
This may sound a bit crazy, but how possible would it be to build a guitar from scratch only using hand tools? (besides generic tools like a drill). I've been trying to figure out if it's possible for the past year.... oh apartment life!
It can be done though, but as shown in this video it is a LOT of work. Even if you replaced the hand drill with a cordless one.You’re going to want to use a plunging router with the appropriate bits. Chiseling is not only harder, but a lot less accurate. Routers are one of the most dangerous tools I use, make sure you know how they work and how the bit spins. For real, before you use one please watch some tutorials.
I actually backed out of doing this and found a local wood shop to go to. I pay a monthly fee but it's definitely worth it.You’re going to want to use a plunging router with the appropriate bits.

I wish there was something like that around where i live! I would do it in a heart beat! The hardest thing that is holding up my build is a lack of tools and materials! Having a "subscription" shop would make everything that much simpler!I actually backed out of doing this and found a local wood shop to go to. I pay a monthly fee but it's definitely worth it.
Search for Maker Spaces or Hacker Spaces. They are all over the world. The one I go to is the 2nd biggest in the country.I wish there was something like that around where i live!

That's actually really nice considering I pay $40 a month. Thankfully though I live 15 minutes away from the space from both work and home. It's also open 24/7 so I can go whenever I feel like.I had a quick look at the UK version which is called fizzpop,closest one to me was about 25mile round trip + £300/$400 a year access fee,i was going to pop in to check out there openbuilds cnc setup but open night is 7-10pm wed only and it's not located in the nicest part of the city,still a great option if you haven't got space at home or outlay for kit.
I was just about to tune up my own pin router again. Mine is reversed from yours, with the router in a table and the pin on top.I had a quick look at the UK version which is called fizzpop,closest one to me was about 25mile round trip + £300/$400 a year access fee,i was going to pop in to check out there openbuilds cnc setup but open night is 7-10pm wed only and it's not located in the nicest part of the city,still a great option if you haven't got space at home or outlay for kit.
Started to rebuild my overarm pin router setup,old one kind worked OK but was made to fit my pillar drill base so i had to keep removing it everytime i wanted to use the drill and it was a PITA to fine adjust...this is just the head setup sofar and uses some T8 thread and diy CNC parts + draw runners and pipe clips,Has about 5" of travel

I have a cnc machine but I think the best usage in the future might be to use it to make templates and fretboards and do much of the main work with the pin router. That way I can gauge the cutting speed and such by hand and feel. Less likely to make mistakes, and less issues with having to block an hour of machine time and hope everything works perfectly.
