Duff Beer Man

this looks mad

do u have any pictures of wat uve done with it

To be honest man i havent really got to use it, this weekend im going to play around with it. Oh and matt, you know you got first dibs lol. Pm me cause i still really want template of that killer V you started and then burned.

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.

I always "drill" a very small hole with my exacto knife before I drill. It makes the drill bit follow the hole and gives you perfectly spaced dots.

For precision work, always use brad point or forstner bits.

id use a press and a fence

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?

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.

Welp got the paint off the front and back of the guitar, now just gotta do the sides. Here are a few pics, the guy im doing this for is gonna order the stuff soon so i can reroute and install the abalone.

Damn... its all abalam and self adhesive foil? shame on you ibanez...

You got that right..

Will you adopt me and build me one? haha

Havent done any yet. Ive been working so much that i havent even gotten a chance to finish the machine. My father and i worked on it yesterday. Its actually a new workbench/duplicarver, the workbench part of it is done now we are working ont assembling the machine.

Well some of you guys saw my thread about me working a guy's jem 10th that he messed up. Well i said i would post some pics and here they are. This is the thread im gonna update as i work on this thing. What im going to do this week is strip the rest of the paint and get it to all wood. Here is how it showed up at my house.

Freaking love it. I even like the sand through i think it gives it charicter.

Man i would love a tut, always wanted to build a cab.

Which hammer did they buy, some of there guitars are expensive as hell.

Get the epiphone korina explore. Freaking sweet guitar, you wont be disappointed.

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.

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.

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.

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....

Made the mistake of buying of that those did ya, hahaha

yeah i got them from your site man. Will a bullnose do everything like necks and bodies?

Got my parts today. Looks like good quality stuff, and i am very pleased with them. Tomarrow i will be going to the home depot to get the play wood to build this thing on. Right now just pricing out bits and what a router, not really sure what bits i should get.
