    If its pics you want its pics you shall recieve. All the metal on it is aluminmum besides the bars which are hardened steel i believe. The router holder is a 3/4 inch piece of aluminmum with a hold cut right in the center of it and then the front is cut with a wing nut and bolt going through it to tighten and hold the router. Reason why i made the router so i could move it up and down is just incase i need the bit to be long the then stylus. Stylus hold is also a piece of aluminum with a wing nut and bolt so i could move that up and down as well. The rod is 16mm rod, with pillow blocks. Here are pics, if there is a pick of something you want that i missed just let me know, id be happy to share how i built this thing. And btw myka, thanks for paving the way

    Welp ive been away from the board for a few months and have been doing other things. However this last weekend my father and I finished up my Duplicarver table we had in the works. This table is based on Mika's desing with some mods done to it. First off i didnt have money buy the big thick bars, so we made it as light as possible but as sturdy as possible. And let me be the first to tell you this thing s great. It balences perfect (dont remember who was the first one to use a brick to couter balence the router but your a genius.) Second, i built this thing so i could do complete duplicates. I think mika mainly made is for doing tops. I haven't got to play with it too much cause its been freezing outside, but the testing will come this weekend im sure. Its pitch black outside so i cant get any good pics tomarrow but i will post tomarrow.

    For precision work, always use brad point or forstner bits. I did use a fence and all other dots came out fine except this one Now, I think I could fix this by drilling slightly bigger (2.5mm) holes over the existing dots (2mm) but the problem is, where am I going to find 2.5mm diameter plastic rods. Even if I do find them, am I just asking for more trouble doing that? http://cgi.ebay.ca/100-Mother-of-Pearl-inl...1QQcmdZViewItem Excellent quality pearl. If you re-drill, drill very slow to ensure the drill bit doesn't wander and use a brad point bit. I bought from that guy. He is a very cool guy and has good product.

    i just ordered a 1/16, an 1/8, a 1/4 and a 1/2 bits and matching stylus from terrco for 90 bucks, which i thought was pretty good. I can use the 1/16 for inlay and what not.
  18. Duff Beer Man
    For 150 dollers you could buy the stuff and do it yourself. That will make the guitar even more yours.

    My band uses protools to record. It works really good, our singer knows all the in's and out's, i asked where he learned it from and he said he just watched the video on how to use it.

    What the hell is the name of the thing that holds the shaft in one place? They bolt down to the table, and there is a set screw. Apparently its not called a pillow block anymore, but i cant seem to find what its called.
  21. Duff Beer Man
    Eh, i think they are decent but they have dont have a lot of really good games, just a bunch of "ok" games. I thought the ds was much better, psp looks pretty and has a bunch of cool features but no good product to go along with its features. Just my opinion anyway.
  22. Duff Beer Man
    Im like tha with everything i order too. If i know its coming one day i will stay home all day, what i hate is when it shows up at 4 in the afternoon....
  23. Duff Beer Man

  24. Duff Beer Man

  25. Duff Beer Man
