Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
Wow, what a journey! The guitar looks great, and I trust that it sounds as good as it looks. I learned a lot from your techniques. My own instinct has always been to get component parts to final shape before assembling. But in many cases, you assembled rough-dimensioned components, and then refined ...

Re: Which Lathe upgrade?
I have both, and have turned a few large bowl with them. Here’s a pic of a medium-sized applewood bowl with both accessories in action. Bowl in extenders 2 LowRes.JPG If I had to choose between the two, I’d defintely choose the speed reducer. The UTR is nice, but a large unbalanced blank spinning at...

Re: How do you really feel about the term "Smart Motor"?
Good idea, Russ. So moving this tidbit of mechatronics history over from the other thread: ... “Smart motor” used to be a U.S. trademark registered to Animatics Corporation, which engineered the “animatronic” electromechanical puppets that you may recall seeing at Disney World. At the time, “smart m...

Re: Guitar Resto-Mod underway
The photo with the plane is absolutely gorgeous. Did you make the plane? Thanks! Actually it's an ECE Emmerich plane that I had got used. It was very beat-up, so I dressed it up by laying thin strips of holm oak into the sides. Similarly, the decorative button is turned from holm oak. Wow, I just l...
