Selmer Project: The dovetail

Did some work on the dovetail body-neck joint today.
First I made an improvised jig from a workmate and a drawer to secure the guitar body.

























I made a L shape jig from the StewMac dove tail routing template and a piece of plywood and attached it to the body using glue clamps.



















The Mortise is routed using this bit with a ball bearing








Here' s the result, a fine looking mortise.






























Next is the neck tenon................
