- Here is a shopmade circle cutter and purfling cutter for my guitar project. Both are made of scraps I had laying around the shop, and an old jigsaw blade. They could be used for many other applications as well. Making you own tools can be a satisfying project that can also save you money. Thanks for watching.

I've finally decided to take the plunge and build a stringed instrument. I found this video, again, after many years. I would have given this video a thumbs up but I already had :-). I need a circle butting jig and this one will fit the bill!
I was subscribed many years ago, at least 9 years ago, when you were still actively putting out videos. I really enjoyed your content. I unsubbed figuring you were done with TH-cam. I know people move on and do other things but I wanted to let you know I did enjoy and appreciate your videos.
I hope you are well. Blessings!
Glad this was still helpful! I keep meaning to make more videos, but time just doesn't allow much these days. Life is quite busy. Thank you for the comment!
That'll do nicely! Thanks
Hello Jason,
I just watched your video about the circle-cutter and the purfling cutter. Very impressive work. I do have one small suggestion for the purfling cutter tool. Instead of using a single blade, you could actually modify your tool so that it has 2 parallel blades side by side. This way when you scribe and make your purfling cuts, you don't need to adjust the width of the blade for a second cut. Your only consideration will be the edge distance to where the purfling will be inlaid.
I am a woodworker and woodcarver, and I also happen to be a blacksmith/knifemaker. Recently I began violin restoration and repairs and am still learning this delicate and complex craft. I am amazed something so delicate and small requires such precision. As a consequence, this is only a hobby. Anyway, I hope you find my comments useful. Now that I saw how you made your circle cutter and purfling tool, I can tackle and make a purfling cutter tool of my own. Be well, and my you enjoy a prosperous year ahead.

plans in how to make one
Nice work Jason, good video thanks.
Thanks 👍
awesome video Jason! Thanks so much. Beautiful work!
Ok Jason .Looking forward to seeing it cut .best regards Rod
Very nice work and video, thanks.
Very helpful, thanks for sharing! That's a cool watch as well; what kind is it?
Glad it was helpful! My watch is a 1960's Elgin manual wind that I bought from an old jeweler new old stock. Love my old watches too!
Nice little tools. Did you allready figure out that the purfling cutter will not be usable in the convex waist area of the guitar unless you give the fence a radius? Cheers.
The purfling cutter does have a radius on the fence, you just can't see it in the video. That would have been good for me to point out too! Thanks for the comment.
how to make that cuter?
That's a good suggestion for a video. I've been covered up with life lately and had little time to make new videos unfortunately. This was basically cut out with hand tools using a chisel to shape the interior bevels of the wedges.
Let’s see you cut a rosette please.
Look good , don’t work .
Rod Parker actually they both worked exceptionally well. My rosette was very clean, as was my binding. I’ll be using the purfling cutter again soon on a telecaster build. Now they are slower than a router, but I prefer the hand tool way whenever possible. Hey don’t knock it till you try it!
