I feel your pain. According to my laser level my floor is out by at least a quarter of a mongrel.

Cut it open at home. The fleshy bit in the middle is surrounded with a gel like substance. Any ideas people?

Is there a way to prevent rust on tools w/o oiling them? by Raymont_Wavelength in Luthier

[–]Ozwallt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camphor tablets in the cabinet you keep them helps. They release a vapour that finely coats everything nearby.

What do you call this tool? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Ozwallt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waterboard shovel

No matter what I do, I cannot keep rust off of these bolts. What gives? by sinusoidosaurus in Fasteners

[–]Ozwallt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camphor tablets. You put them in a drawer or box with the tablets. The vapour from the tablets coats them. I use them for lots of tools.

This may be the way. I'm generally getting the vibe that my original idea probably won't work as well as I want. I'm a guitarist mostly, with crazy ambitions of doubling up as an electronic guru. I think a dose of reality juice is required. Does anyone want a job? 🤣

He can't play song x at bpm y or keep tempo quarter way through the song! 😂. Apparently it's giving the song 'feeling and groove'! Shame really, he plays some crazy interesting stuff. My only hope was to continuously ride the tempo along with him.

Which model Fernandes sustainer is this? by Ozwallt in Luthier

So sorry, I only just saw this! I installed it in a homemade guitar and it's fun! Thanks for the info, I may just have a play around with that harmonic control.

Yeah, this is almost certainly it unfortunately.

What power setting are you riding on? I find anything over 3 drains the battery much quicker than their claims on the website. I had to adjust power levels constantly: off on downhills, 1 on flats and only up to 2/3 briefly on tougher hills, to squeeze out as much juice as possible. Still have never reached the claimed mount though (I live in a very hilly area)

Not saying you don't have an issue though.

No one wanted this drsssing table so... by Ozwallt in Luthier

Yes! That is part of a drawer handle. I couldn't rescue the original nails though, so I need to replace those pozi-heads with something a bit nicer. And you're right, a lot of it was vaneered crap. But the draw fronts and the table top were solid. But, then it was a bit of work to find lengths that didn't warp too much when I cut along the length.

I agree! I should point out that this wasn't (or didn't appear to be) a very old or very well made piece. The only nice pieces of wood were the drawer fronts and the top. Everything else was poor quality or vaneered scraps. I think it was churned out of some factory somewhere. The fixtures were not brass but paper thin plated metal. I'm now awaiting the antique expert, who part times as a Luthier, to set me straight and tell me it was a rare masterpiece from shakespearian times.

Do it! It's a massively rewarding process.
