Handy tool

[Redbrickman]

This one will be handy if you are like me and do some model making where hand drills are "handy" for drilling soft materials. Also useful for reamers which I use when changing the tuners in some guitar headstocks. No more sore hands from reaming.

Are you plotting with @The Hat to get me - stratman - into 3D printing with guitar talk?

Smart approach.

@Redbrickman I told you @stratman was a Cute Hoor and would see through our plot to rope him into 3D printing, I reckon we’ll need more strings to our guitar..

A backhanded compliment from The Hat is still a compliment. Hell hath surely frozen over and my Cleveland Browns will win the Superbowl this year.

I'll need to give that one a try!

This one I printed very early on when I first started. Handy and a GREAT show-off piece for 3D printing:

... and the other day I took the prongs / clamp part and used it to design (in tinkercad) a cool piece to hold a cable coming out of my chicken coop!

I also printed a rest for working on the guitars. Added some thcik foam to protect the neck.

I can't play much but like repairing them, electric that is, not worked on any acoustics.

I like that one - must print it.

My brother could use your services. His 90's Jap Strat, a well made and once well playing guitar, suffered a bumpy ride down the stairs and needs a new nut, a crack repair in the neck and a scratchy pot that needs some attention.

Do you make house calls in the US?

 

[Redbrickman]

No, not at the moment as I have no desire to sit in a metal tube with lots of others breathing out their possibly Covid contaminated breath Not especailly as some research has shown that AirCon can redistribute the smaller Covid particles

That sounds like one worth repairing though, and it has a story to tell now! The 90's Japanese Strats were well made, in fact all Japanese Strats are great quality. They make a great Strat in the Fujigen factory which has made many famous makes under licence, and they sell their own Strat now under the Brand name FGN...
