Steel Guitar Builder

The biggest piece would be steel guitar necks but I see what you are saying I would have to realign everything.I found some nice mills for really good prices with a 15 inch table travel which is not bad so I would run out of room with the necks but I think I could manage.

I had sorta wondered if u couldnt move your piece and continue on when u ran out of table travel but I havent had I guess you would say a lot of really formal training in machining so I still dont know a lot of things.

Got a question if I had a milling machine and wanted to mill some necks for a pedal steel and just say the table doesent travel far enough to do the complete length of the necks is there a way around this or would I just need a bigger machine.

I will look into it.I am always looking into alternate options and cheaper ways of doing things and actually I heard of a few people who have built a lapsteel and used a bass pickup so it may be worth a try.

That sounds interesting.I will look into this idea.So if i can only get six string I can mount a piece of steel on top and it will work just the same.

I am just looking into the best place to get a low cost lapsteel pickups I really prefer eight string pickups but if all I can find is a six thats ok too.I know most of these pickups are somewhat expensive and I dont want to give much as I am just doing project stuff so whats my best option here.

I checked it out and that is one awesome looking guitar.

Ok I will check it out.

I have been checking into milling machines and have found several used ones at a fairly low price however space is somewhat of an issue right now so I may have to go without the milling machine for now but Im gonna try my best to start on an all wood project which will be non pedal.I had hopes of at...

First off I do not know a whole lot about a router or making steel guitars however I have considered a small project with an all wood neck and it be a non pedal.I want to hear from some of you who have made your own all wood neck when I say all wood I mean keyhead and all being made out of wood.I wa...
