cheers Mark, that looks a really handy tool, have you had any problems with it at all. googling brought up a few concerns about safety and also the finish not being perfect due to slight misalignment of th cutters.
Good to meet you Mark, you have some outstanding guitars. Sorry you didn't make a sale but the shows not over till the fat lady sings.
Did you say you had some sort of planer or router that attached to your pillar drill? Is it a combination machine or something that just uses the drill for power somehow, or am I talking a load of bollox?

lol go figure it's good to see you man we'll have to hook up and jam some time (preferably after I learn to play :D) be safe andsee you in the funny pages.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for the friend request.
I really like the binding you put around your necks - do you have to use a router or is the binding thin enough to apply without cutting a groove? Also what type of glue do you stick it with?
Regards,
David
Hey Lefty, did you ever get an answer about string spacing? If so could you share the info, kinda wonderin' myself. I've probably commented on your reso before but peckin' away at this message the pics are flashin' by an I gotta say, "way cool brosef". I've got a pretty cool one about finished as well I think you can appreciate.
