I thought I'd post my ideas here and see if anyone can use them or think of improvements. I know there's got to be a way to have good, reliable tuners without using pre-fab machine tuners. Plan A: Locking nuts are jammed by the square nuts so they don't spin during tuning. Nuts are embedded into the wood or joined by welding or JB Weld if you want to use the plastic type locking nuts. Plan B: Three (I don't think all six would have to be locking nuts) center tap all steel nuts are welded to long narrow bolts so the locking nuts don't spin.

I'd also like to try this (go to the bottom of the page):

I like the eye bolt designs, however, they give a more balanced look so the headstock doesn't look naked.
