I was disappointed by the chipout and the sanding..... as a woodworker I’m particular about the little things.

This body board frees up my workbench top while I'm working on a guitar or bass and tucks out of the way when I'm done. I'm very pleased with it.

Every shop should have one

Adds versatility to your vice and bench....since I work on mandolins and guitars this tool adds flexibility regardless of the application ???????????

this frees up so much of my hands for other things

Makes possible the working from both side of the guitar a pleasure!

I was right! I still haven't used it to it's full potential, but I'm getting there. I like being able to swing the work out of the way so you can work on the bench top. Like, the other day, I was fitting a new nut into a bass and had the bass in the vise, then swung it out of the way so I could do some nut shaping...

I admit be skeptical when I first saw this introduced as a new item. However, having a modest workspace and a recent fret dress on a Gibson Les Paul got me thinking about it again. I ordered it, mounted it to my bench and instantly appreciated being able to walk around a guitar I'm working on especially for doing fretwork.

Set this up with my vice on a floor stand, and now I NEVER have an instrument on the work bench any more. 360 access to the instrument in the middle of the floor is amazing, I don't have to keep moving the instrument, I just work around it. One small draw back, felt on the body support is less than ideal, as things can slide off quickly . I modified with some neoprene matting, which is more skid resistant. Maybe this is something that could be included as an accessory.
