Yes, I have been looking at the woodslicer. It has been quite a while since I bought my current blade. I think it is a Timberwolf, but really not sure. I thought it did a pretty good job but after...

Heard back from Tuff Saws - no availability in the US.

Impressive! Do you get cuts as advertised? or is this somewhat of an exageration?

Though old, still quite educational!
I have heard of fast-cut but when searching could not find them. Who makes them, or better yet, who sells then in the USA? Is this your preferred blade for...

The manzanita should provide quite a contrast with the redwood, I would think. Let us know how is sounds if you make it to the performance.

I never tried one. They just always seemed too unsafe to me...

Wha??? Interesting design choice! How does it sound???

In my limited experience lately installing under saddle pickups, I have run into stark variations in Kala's saddles and slots, including what seems to be your issue of too narrow of a saddle for the...

I would say that a 150 euro uke should certainly not have this level of intonation issues.

yep! It surely is.

Beautiful wood! Congrats!

Thanks all for pointing me to suppliers. Also, I looked at the Zinseer products earlier but for some reason couldn't figure out if it was dewaxed. Of course, my first search turned up the answer just...

Some years ago I had easy access to ready made shellac and used it as a sealer coat before finishing with water based poly on mahogany, walnut, cherry, etc. to good effect, accentuating the grain....

I recently finished building 2 long neck sopranos with koa bodies. I had never worked with koa before, but the wood has some great grain, etc, but I am disappointed by the finish. It seems a bit...

Thank you, Michael.

Did you start a new thread? I don't see it...???

Well, moving away from initial topic, but yes, I would love to look at those plans if you happen upon them. I see the posts are fairly old. Are you still using the pantograph? I have the foot pedel...

Michael> Just looked at your website. Impressive and lovely! Nice inlays. Any plans available for the 'Poor Man's CNC? or at least more pictures??? Thanks!

Thanks, Bob. All good points!

Thank you all for the replies. My question, though, was not how to do this but rather what would be a reasonable charge for doing it. Sounds like $50 would be a good deal for somebody, right?

I am...

You can just use the eraser end of a pencil, too.

What is a reasonable charge to install a saddle pickup and endpoint jack?
Thanks.

I was taught to the gullet, but I also like what dwizum says. There are times that I just don't want that much blade showing, but too low definitely increases the possibility of kickback.

That is a pretty deap dent, isn't it? How many times did you steam it? I would also try dripping water into the depression and letting it sit. If this helps, (even if just a little) do it more.

Thanks for the responses and additional questions!

Seems like it is hard to say how much is the piezo and how much is associated electronics, with a good amount of gray for personal preferences...
