I don't have a video, but here are some photos of the jigs I made and the cutting...
Here's what it looks like...
As far as hand fitting the joint, John Hall's Utube vids are the best.

This is a video of Jon Simpson's demo of his neck jig which is similar to what StewMac has. Fred |

Thanks Fred for the link. Its is not the same one as I know have seen elsewhere which I can't find anymore. Pity about the music as I have difficulty in concentrating on what he is saying - I drift off quite easily (must be a 50's moment) This has given me something to think about as I was thinking of buying the Stew Mac templates, but I have to make the jig to go with them. Maybe I'll make another post to see if anyone else is using one of these Thanks John |

There are a few members who have purchased Jon's jig including myself, I have not used mine yet but it is well made and reasonably priced. Jon has these on EBay once in a while or check his web site. Fred |

Thanks Fred. Not used it yet, too much time on the Internet and not enough time in the workshop - maybe  Thanks for your valuable advice John |

When I bought it I was beyond necks on the 3 guitars I was working on and have not started a new one yet. My shop and rest of my basement is in its 3rd week of being restored from 8" of water from a bad storm. I probably will not use it for a few months as I don't do much building in the summer. Fred |

After viewing Fred's post with the link this afternoon, and watching the video for the 3rd time this year, I contacted Jon and bought one from his Ebay site. He shipped it right afterwards. Guess I won't be building the Woolson jig. Bob |

Hello - I'm kinda late coming in but here's my two-cents worth: a friend bought the jig and loved it. I saw the results and bought one myself, but before I did I had some questions. I contacted John via email and found the guy to be very approachable and very helpful in answering my questions. I'd rather spend my $ with someone like that than StewMac any day. I'm just sayin....
