Hi,
I'm a guitar builder, wood is my thing. Metal, no so much, just don't have the tools. Hoping some one who reads this forum might be able to make these for me or point me in the direction of someone who can. Willing to pay of course. I need brass or nickel silver string posts like this:
Quite small as you can see. I need six per guitar, so 2-3 dozen would be enough to get started but could buy more if that makes the job more attractive. They need to be consistent in shape and size. Hoping there is way of making a tool bit that can cut the shape consistently and quickly in one go, cut it off, do another. Can supply a more detailed drawing. You can email me direct at craig.bumgarner "AT" gmail.com if you like.
If no one wants to take this on, does anyone have comments on how to make a tool bit that would make the shape in one shot? I have access to a metal lathe and have used it some, not an expert.
