Bog's, For a guy who doesn't like to work with wood you sure made that look very nice. The engine turning looks terrific. :thumbup: Bernd |

John, I just made what was necessary to get the job done, making sure that everything was as rigid and protected as possible. I could have made the neck head a lot smaller, but it would have meant threading the strings rather than just sliding a pin and hooking the string in place, in other words, ease of use. I'm no banjo player, so I don't know if it balanced up or not, but I have had no complaints about it so far. Bernd, In this situation, wood reacted exactly the same as metal when it was clamped to the mill. The main problem I did have was holding all the curvy bits rigid and square enough to make sure everything fitted together after machining. I managed to keep the wood within a max of a couple of thou of the machined metal parts. BTW, I have just finished of a piece of the brown stuff for Stew, in his latest post, it doesn't look too bad seeing that I hate the stuff. Marvellous what you can do with a mill and flycutter.

Saw the base already John. Nice by the way. I'm sure it was a bear trying to hold the stuff in the vice. Still very nice job. Bernd |

It's nice built, but why change the guitar? Was it not good enough?? :doh: |

Innovative, professional work as usual, John. We expect that of you and you always deliver. I'm very enthused about the idea of a folding electric guitar. Being able to compact them will make it so much easier to fit them into the dumpsters when the people who actually like music take over and eliminate rock 'music' from the face of the earth. |
