Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Sounds great and looks great! The guitar has a full bass sound, yet at the same time the high end sounds really nice and crisp. Very sweet all around! Thanks for posting the video.

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Thanks for the information, Chris. I have seen some elaborate fret cutting jigs on the Stew-Mac site, but it looks like your method is working just as well. I look forward to seeing the pictures of the bridge installation.

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
The project is looking great...maybe when done you can post a YouTube recording of how it sounds. Pretty slick miter box for the fret wire grooves - two questions: 1) how did you control the depth of each fret wire slot when you cut it, and 2) how did you lay out the fret locations. And, another que...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Now Stumpy Nubs has weighed in on this matter...I particularly like his comments near the end regarding "veteran woodworkers". Great video, thanks for the link. Could not agree more with the need for education about saw use and safety. In this regard, every SS user should be familiar with...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
RF Guy; Hate to see you go. I have no problems with any opinions that diverge from my own, short of those that promote violence or anti-social action. As has been said by other posters, being confronted with a different point of view can be an excellent prompting to re-evaluate one's own opinions an...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Up to this point, I have been following this thread without commenting, since I don't have the knowledge of either business practices or patent law that would permit me to contribute meaningfully. But I am interested in the subject, since I can't see how Shopsmith could re-engineer the Mark to compl...

Re: Dragged out a shopsmith
I think I’ll upgrade the quill to a two bearing unit eventually, it’s not a metal lathe, but there’s just more side to side potential for play in the single bearing than I’d like. ArcticShop; Upgrading to the two bearing quill is, IMHO, almost a "must" if you plan on doing any bowl turnin...

Re: Sharpening Guide
RF Guy; Thanks for those links. I had never encountered Ashley Harwood before. Judging from the photos, she is quite accomplished. I looked at the tools she has for sale and was interested to see that she is selling some "negative rake" scrapers. This is something else I have only recently...

Re: Sharpening Guide
Mike;
Thanks for pointing me to the 40/40 grind. In the article I mentioned, Mike Mahoney does refer to Stuart Batty. After seeing your post, I looked up Batty and I see he has a lot to offer. I appreciate the link.
