Hi Oscar

In what format would you like the drawing?

Count me in for the 5-string Bass board

Do you have any plans available?

When a customer asks me for a cosmetic repair This is not really a cosmetic repair. Nick, the owner plays, amongst other styles, a very percussive style we call "Boland Bop" and it is wearing the sound board out around the hole quite aggressively. The edge is about to wear through and the...

Thanks all.

The consensus is: Clean, seal with shellac and fill with CA and cover with an auxilary pickguard.

Now to get he guitar into my work shop. It is a hardworking pro's instrument which has very little downtime.

Any thoughts or recommendations on repairing this damage around a sound hole on a Taylor guitar? The owners playing style has worn the wood out from between the inlay. My idea is to route out the damage and replace the wood tinting it to match then cover the area with an auxiliary clear pick guard. ...

Or perhaps do something like this?

2. Cut inner circle of the rosette's border strip into your top, and without changing the circle cutter's settings, also cut this circle into your glued up circle of tiles. Make your border strips to be the same thickness as this bits radius.

Shouldn't that be the bits diameter?

I have found using Clear PVC Weld for the wood/plastic interface works very well. Then acetone to bond the subsequent layers.

As a software engineer and subscriber to PC Mag in the past when I was more hardware orientated I remember Bill's writing and was surprised to see him on this forum. Akin to discovering that Donald Knuth whose data structure theory we studied at University was also a contributor to Mad Magazine. He ...

Here are some shots of the CAD drawing I did to get the layout defined.

I'm not sure if this thread belongs in the Acoustic forum? Perhaps one of the mods could move it somewhere appropriate?

I've thought about sanding drums and the like but making something with a 14-1/2 inch diameter wheel would be quite an undertaking and be a big bit of kit for my small shed. The sanding drum I made does not have a 12 Inch radius It has a 3 inch radius. The curve is in the Vertical axis. Like a wood...

What about making a sanding drum with the correct convex curve on it? I did this with a concave curve to rough in fretboards before final sanding. I first took a piece of board with the curvature I wanted and glued some 80 grit sand paper on it. Then put the sanding drum I made up of pieces of MDF i...

I based my design firmly on the Chapman Stick by looking at the published photos and specifications on the Chapman website then did a bunch of cad drawings to make sure things panned out. Mike, my bassist friend, then reviewed the drawings and we came up with a final layout. Pete, the guitarist in t...

I'm busy building one at the moment for friend of mine, a professional bassist and guitarist. Will post some pics shortly.

Here's a shot of my drill press

A simple mod on some drill presses which don't have a locking mechanism:

Unscrew the depth stop and add an extra nut underneath the piece of metal with the hole drilled in it that sticks out from the side of the press.

Adjusting the nut allows you to lock the press at the correct height.
