I'm going to let the necks sit until next week. I want to see if there is any twist in the flamed maple. Someone said that a flamed piece has more stress in it after it is cut because of the different hardnesses in the flame. (Willard bros. guy) Who knows? Can't hurt to let them sit and then machine the fretboard side next week.
So...tomorrow I'm going to machine a "milled" jack cup. Since I don't have one it will be my own design, but it sure looks close enough! Heck...it only holds the jack, right? I'll post the drawing for that also after I see how it turns out! I'm copying it from a picture in the blackguard book. You would be suprised how close dimension-wise you can come from a picture as long as you have something to gauge it to. The outside diameter of the cup is 1", so that is my "gauge" point! Pictures to follow!!
Cheers
ED
