Over the years, I’ve learnt a lot and picked up many good ideas from other people’s woodworking and instrument making websites. So, to return the favour, here’s a collection of shop-made tools and jigs and workpiece fixtures that I’ve found useful. Few, if any, of the things here were my idea originally, although I may have made modifications, and I’ve done my best to acknowledge the sources. As various tools and jigs have been added, the page has grown to an unwieldy length. Here’s a list of topics in the order that they appear so that, if you’re looking for something in particular, you can scroll straight to it.Finger planesHolding and clamping awkwardly shaped piecesSharpening small or short bladesJig for a Dremmel for routing rosettes and soundholesFret bevelling fileCello clampsUsing rare earth magnets to tame a cello wolf noteDovetail markerDovetail viceRouter table for a Dremmel
