This is what happens when you turn
an opera singer loose on a pop song

PMJ is more of a collective than a band, with a constantly-changing roster of singers and musicians. What is constant is band leader and pianist Scott Bradlee, and the retro style. There is a ton of stuff on YouTube, these are some of my favorites.

Reverse Routing Plate

The plate is an old piece of phenolic I had lying around - very stiff stuff. The 'legs' are pine scrap, in whatever width works.

The Reverse Routing Jig holds a router above the workpiece, which is secured to a flat smooth surface below. I use an old piece of countertop, not a carpet, as in the picture. By sliding the router over the workpiece, you can mill the face of the piece. Height is adjustable by changing the legs. This jig is very useful for milling Fender-style headstocks. It is also possible to cut angled headstocks by blocking-up the workpiece and using the longer legs. This jig is basically an upside-down router table, with one great advantage - you can see what you are doing.
