KNL Guitar Repair

Thinking about purchasing the Shop Fox buffing arbor from Grizzly. I was wondering if I could get some reviews on it first.

WOW, the zebra and the lacewood are my two favorites. I have a custom lacewood super strat I assembled a few years ago that I aboslutely love. However, I have always had a thing for zebrawood. What are going to use for pickups and wiring configuration?

Thought I would introduce myself. I am a 46 yr old guitar tech here in MA. Definitely consider myself more of a 'fixer' than a builder. I have been doing this type of work for a long time. It is definitely a lot of fun for me. I have been lurking here for awhile and recently registered. I have learn soo much already about tool building here. Hoping that I can share something at some point and not just be a taker all the time. Till then I am happy to drain as much as I can from the knowledgable bunch here.

Woodenspoke,

Thanks also I am looking for a bolt down version. Although I do like the overall design better. Another reason to improve my welding skills I guess.

No problem. But if you look at the HTC base you can just remove the rubber feet and use bolts to tattach it to the floor no welding is necessary. just a hammer drill for the concrete. I think the crank arm is worth the extra $20.

That's a possiblity. I like the crank feature as well.

Also found this one http://shopping.canoe.ca/shop/product--cat...Id_3147856.html.

Not sure what the shipping would be but looks like another possiblity.

I am looking for an adjustable height grinder base. My plan is to builb a shop standt with angle vise for my neck jig. I have found some products but nothing readily available in the US. Any ideas???

Thanks,

Looks like the Harbor Freight one will do the trick. And yes I was trying to avoid buying the StewMac one. Pretty sure that I have seen the exact one that StewMac sells, somewhere else over the years. I was thinking that there was a version in a truck mechanics catalog.

After lurking here for a bit and finally registering this was inspired by some chat here. Just ordered a 1/2 ton arbor press from evil bay,$39.99 delivered, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=160329541618. Not sure whether I will attempt to build my own caul and inserts yet. Even if I order the set from Stew and Mac, I figure I will be saving $70.00 off their premade version.

I am also in the process of gathering the parts for a neck jig. Figure I will be into it for around $50-$70. Which is a big improvement over the $390.00 delivered price from S and M.

Thanks for the inspirations and the information. I will try to get around to posting the fret press pics. The neck jig will almost surely be an exact copy of this http://www.groupwhere.net/guitars/NeckJig.doc.

Rock On

The roughness is on the tops of the frets, yes? Seems like the steel wool you used wasn't fine enough. Get some 0000 and try again.
