Lucet patterns

While doing some research on making friendship bracelets I ran across a link for making cordage with a lucet. I have done this in the past and still have a small lucet. I did not find many patterns to cut a lucet so I made some up for the public at large.
What is a lucet you say? It is a wood, bone, plastic forked tool to make decorative cord, for clothes for decoration, to use an bracelets, etc.


You will need to click the image to get a full size picture to print. I put a few measurements on the image to help you size it as needed.

Scarf Joint Neck Jig

This is a simple jig for a Skil saw to make a scarf joint for a cigar box guitar neck. I have access to a chop saw but it would not cut a lower angle than about 30 degrees and I do not currently have the space for a table saw. Works great!

Here's a shot with a 1"x2"x3' poplar stick in position. The stick has not been measured yet it is just in place to show where it goes.
