Guitar Neck Duplicator By Eric Hall
Problem To design a device that fabricates a rough (not sanded) guitar neck out of a stock piece of wood by following a finished guitar neck.
What’s Available • Expensive ($2,000 – $4,000) • Manually Operated
Solution • Autonomous • Less expensive than what’s already available
Basic Design • Driven by two stepper motors • Adjustable sensors to accommodate different sized necks • Uses commercially available router and bits • Micro-controlled closed-loop system monitors and controls operation
Timeline • The project length from brainstorming to completion will take approximately 5 months.
