Steel Guitar Builder

This has now been Sold. thanks

no. Pedal two, generally the B pedal only raises by a semitone, wheres pedal one, (The A pedal on an Emmons setup) raises a whole tone, so is slightly higher than the B pedal at rest as it requires more travel. when engaged, they should be more or less the same height, say, half an inch or so above ...

For my changer I'm using steel cams, machined for me by a local CNC engineering company. Is it ok to use aluminium for the scissors or should they be steel too?

Hi all.
The old fella isn't really getting on much with learning the lap steel, so I'm offering this up for sale.
Open to sensible offers.

Quick question.
When drilling holes for my tuners in a metal keypad, (Cast Aluminium) Do i need to thread the holes for the small retaining screws on the outside? Or just drill a hole and let them "bite?"

Send me pictures please. Email through my page here. Ta.

Looking good, Ron

looks fantastic. how did you make the tailpiece?

That sounds like an excellent idea, Ron.
Happy new year to you.

Thanks Ron. Will do.
Regards
Jason
