I designed the MS Intellimouse (1st "roller" using Pro/E CAD surfacing tools. I can see some similarities in our creative processes. :-)

Very cool. Like the 101 keyboard, the roller mouse has become an industry standard.

I used DesignCAD 3D for many years and designed several model airplane kits using it. While it was cutting edge for the late 1980s when I started using it, the lack of updates left it in the dust when compared to other 3D tools.

These days I'm using Rhino 3D. I've designed several 3D printed parts I'm selling on Shapeways.com.

Really impressive work, and informative for wannabe luthiers like me. Can you tell me how you remove the binding near the neck? Is it attached with epoxy?

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks! Do you mean the binding on the side of the fretboard or the binding on the body?

I would imagine it's attached with epoxy. Ovation used epoxy for pretty much everything.
