RobF -> RE: Joining soundboard to angled neck (Dec. 12 2018 1:01:30)

Hi Ethan, I’m not sure if you’re referring to my jig or Jason’s ‘ruler jig’ drawings, but for sure my method will cut deeper at the 12th and less deep further away. I was actually taught the ruler trick in Spain but couldn’t remember how it was done so I just started doing it my own way (like Sinatra, lol). I’ve seen some people use the ruler trick where the ruler is taped to the router table and the relationship between the ruler and router bit is fixed. To my figuring, depending on how the neck is moved, doing it that way will either result in a flat ramp or a backwards and cupped ramp. (Edit - that should read ‘either a flat, backwards, or cupped ramp’) But, as you say, the angle is so slight and length of the ramp so short that when coupled with the flexibility of the top this is probably a pretty non-critical operation.
