A Guitar Called Jack--Part 74

The bridge is first rough thicknessed (it is somewhat thicker at the bass E string than at the treble E).  The profile (shape of the footprint) of the bridge is then cut and refined with the spindle sander.  Next the two saddle slots are routed, and the saddles are cut and rough fitted.  Then the back surface of the bridge is "tipped" to a 15 degree angle, on which the bridge pin holes are drilled.
