    Re: My mandocello/OM conversion project

    James, I know I am not on here anymore, so you don't know me or my history.
    I don't mean to be too forward in my suggestion here either, but in my opinion, that 1 3/4 neck is going to be too wide...

    Re: Mahogany- to fill or not to fill

    Dan, just a small warning. I also watched that vid. What Robert does NOT say ( and it totally screwed up my project) was that the pore filler has to be applied and sanded off probably at least 3...

    Re: explosion proof fan

    What Mr. Hilburn is doing makes it work absolutely perfectly. The motor is way far away, and all that is exposed is the belt that drives it. You just need a motor mounted on something and some...

    Re: to glue or not to glue frets?

    And I use white glue for all frets going into a fretboard, new or otherwise. Many use Crazy Glue, and have their own reasons for doing that.

    Re: TM 375 Bouzouki nut replacement

    Kerry to Kerry: I would think that your best bet would be to find a quality Luthier, and get her/him to make a nut. Going price should be , maybe $35 bucks. I would be more than surprised to hear...
  10. Re: Anyone build bowl backs anymore and why have they lost favor?

    Thanks for the corrections Jim. I do make a lot of assumptions in my post above. I am also glad that Brian Dean popped in and had a say. I must say, I have only played a few quality bowlbacks and...
  11. Re: Anyone build bowl backs anymore and why have they lost favor?

    Gregooch, There are thousands of these 100 year old instruments around that are now nothing more that wall hangers. Their reputation for not being able to stand up to actually being used for...

    Re: stuck tuner button

    Mandomeister, just to be clear, what exactly is the problem? Is all you are doing cleaning them and wanting to get the actual button off, (I don't know why you would be doing that...), or is one of...
  16. Re: questions re. approach to swapping out tuning machines

    CeeCee, doing this yourself is a simple as pie,. If the inside diameter of the bushings allow your machines to fit, there is no reason to remove them. Exactly the opposite actually, as removing them...

  21. Re: Kerry Builds a 'David Collins Style' headstock repair jig.

    Bryce, I have never thought of using the transparency of the plexi for that. It was just that I did not want to fork out the Big Bucks for 1/2 inch thick aluminum... Thanks too!
