**** INTRO ****

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

StewMac make some of the best luthier tools in the industry. They also make some of the only tools in the industry.

They also know this. They are not dumb. So, they charge accordingly. However, as awesome as this is, I refuse to pay that much for it. I can make it without the tool just fine. I'm unwilling to pay that markup. It's worth like $25 - at best.

I still want it.

That is outrageous for what it is!

I adhere to much of the Buddhist philosophy, but prefer science for the deeper questions.

I'd likely make one or two prototypes, each by themselves, and then replicate them in 'bulk' of several guitars at once for efficiency sake.

I built all the cabinets for my house, actually. I've got a whole wood shop available.

And, yes... It's some metal with a few patches of industrial diamonds - cut to something like 0.05" accuracy. I ain't paying $125 for that. No fucking way. Can I afford it? Yup... However, I can afford it 'cause I don't do stupid shit like paying $125 for something worth $25!

I have machinist friends who would CNC one for me cheaper than that!
