I plan to make furniture atm, i do not have the experience of the proper jigs for guitars. as I have found in the past.
hand planers! I've made a couple necks, and I made the fret board on my oak bass.. It's fun, but not something I would recommend as far as profit though.
They take alot of time and work, for minimal pay.

thats a pretty neat contraption
I can see a couple of problems with it though, The tracing anchor has nothing that keeps it in the same spot, so if you bump the tracing lever (or sneeze etc) it would be game-over.
Using concave templates vs convex could fix that problem, but that could cause issues with the "plunger"
Its practical application is a little weak, unless your mass producing pre-cut doors... or something of that nature.
It could definitely help with producing guitars, but ultimately you would still have to make the cuts perfect for the templates anyways. but It could also act as an issuance, having practice on a defferent piece off wood vs the guitar body you've spent days making. Scaling the wood could get annoying for multiple templates. If he could implement a locking mechanism to a slide for the router istelf, it could change the scale size.
'Really cool idea though! If he could apply a similar design to stone cutting, that would be amazing.
