    Great explained. But it must be a hell to be lefthanded. Saw that. when You cut of the excess of the cork. Something went wrong like looking in a mirror in the wrong direction in some how. Now I,m going to make my own neckrest and I,m right handed, thanks God. 😅😅 Btw my wife and both daughters are lefthanded oh yea.

    If you make that cove cut with a 10" saw blade will it work as a fretboard radiating tool?

  • @homebuiltshop

    @homebuiltshop

    4 жыл бұрын

    It would if you can safely get the correct radius. I might try making some this way.

  • @joexaver1611

    @joexaver1611

    3 жыл бұрын

    It will not work. When you run a board across the blade diagonally you get an elliptical cut, not a circular cut. The only time you get a circular cut is when you run the board perpendicular to the blade, which will give you a 5" radius. An elliptical cut is good enough for a clamping caul or a neck rest, but I don't think it would be good for a fretboard.

    Using a table saw is always dangerous. As long as you go slowly and don't force the wood through, it's no more dangerous than a straight cut.

  • @joexaver1611

    @joexaver1611

    If you place the diagonal fence in front of the blade so the force of the blade is pushing the wood against the fence it will be easier to control the cut, and therefore safer.
