    I've made about half of my luthier's tools. The most complicated is my modified version of Dan Erlewine's neck jig. I designed it for multiple functions and for compactness. I built it from 80/20 extrusions, a giant aluminum ruler, some NIC corner braces, a yoga mat and scrap oak.
    I used Fender bass tuners that I took off of my P-bass, which I converted to 8-string (octaves) for strap tensioners. They work, but they're cumbersome and sloppy, so I'll change them to something else.
