Mickguard Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Well, okay, six holes. I think that's a new record for me.... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another doug Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 It goes a lot quicker if you put a drill bit in there. But seriously though, what were you drilling? I'm guessing ferrules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhailgtrski Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Well, okay, six holes. I think that's a new record for me.... Well, that's only 30 minutes per hole... 15 minutes of pondering 5 minutes to measure and re-measure 4 minutes for more pondering and re-measuring 30 seconds to drill 5 1/2 minutes to admire your workmanship Sounds like me. Totally reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhailgtrski Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm guessing ferrules. No way... ferrules take 6 hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickguard Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ferrules? Are you kidding? Those would take me a week-- you can SEE those I was drilling the holes for the vintage style trem I've been trying to install all week...so it was more like, 2 hours and 55 minutes spent measuring, remeasuring, re-checking the center line, checking how my strat is set up (luckily!), re-measuring, opening up the cavity a bit to shift things over another millimeter, remeasuring (because I was originally setting the trem according to its own center line, that is, the center line between the saddles, then I discovered that that's now the way my strat is set--it's shifted over a millimeter or so, which gives a bit more of the fretboard to the high E), remeasuring, remeasuring... And then five minutes to drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
