Plus, building the things isn't my problem ... the problem is what to do with them all once I've built them! I've attained the mythical status, long believed by guitarists to be an impossible state, ...

I hate doing soldering etc and would love to outsource this to a fellow communiteer) Hi Boo, I love soldering, gimme gimme gimme! If you do my fret dressing for me we have deal!! Darren

now it's got to be done, just to use that name. @tv101 Yes I think so. 🤘😁🤘🎸

As this would a community project we could call it “Lockdown Groupie”. @Boo - now it's got to be done, just to use that name.

Lockdown LooseyTwo @Boo? @TV101 As this would a community project we could call it “Lockdown Groupie”.

But that's not really the Bailey ethos - of learning all the skills required to do the whole job yourself? @tv101 No, I don’t mean all of us do that all the time. We can learn to do everything oursel...

I've attained the mythical status, long believed by guitarists to be an impossible state, of "too many guitars". I know. I'll be excommunicated and de-forummed shortly ... @tv101 😱 Be very c...

Food for thought maybe? What do you think? Depends on what you're trying to achieve @Boo. As a standard, albeit somewhat decentralised, production line approach, then it makes sense with each person...

We could test the DFM out by some of us trying a community design and build. Lockdown LooseyTwo @Boo?

Yeah I think because we are spread all over the country, it’s not feasible set up factory unless we committed to moving home to one geographical location. If a serious conversation starts about doing ...

@rocknroller912 Sorry to hear you are not so good and in hospital. I hope you are back to normal and home soon. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

However, I do love Boo’s idea of pooling resources and opening a factory. This kind of thing has been bouncing around in my head for years and there are now some really well equipped shared, ‘hire spa...

Do you think we would make any money? I'm reminded of the jokeQ : "How do you make a million in the music business?" A : "Start with two" On a more serious note I'm trying to get something happeni...

@darrenking Sorry to be a wet blanket it must be all the drugs the hospital have been pumping in to me the last few days affecting my thinking. Your design looks very good and I think it will fly off ...

A two pack system just means that you have to mix two components before spraying, it doesn’t automatically mean that the finishes are hugely toxic. The main issue with 2 pack PU finishes is that the p...

Hi Mikey, I understand your comment about the length of shaft. I going to have three prototype shafts made @ 500mm, 550mm and 600mm so I can assess the difference . The longer the shaft then the more ...

Hi Robin, Thank you for your comments. Yes, the two grub screws in the shaft locate in the motor shaft keyway and there are also two grub screws in the bearing sleeve that also secure the shaft. I int...

Blimey Rocknroller! In words of Jack Dee you’re a real old ray of sleet!😂😂 I do just feel the need to point out that I’m currently NOT up for designing a low cost 48” diameter automati...

@boo I was reading your earlier comment about poly finishes on guitars and did some web research as it's something I've often wondered myself. It's seems that big firms used a two pack system which yo...

Just to depress everyone this is how big factories do polishing, no people input. The arm uses suction and is computer controlled. Probably even a machine for loading and removing the bodies in and ou...
