yeah the reason i didnt order em new was i didnt want ot wait haha. the bike guys idea , he said they had alot of em in the bin. and when they change wheels most of the nipples are like brand new. plus sometimes i want the ragged ones . recycle for the kids future hahaah
oh went down to the local bike shop and got some used spoke nipples , great idea , I ran out of steel rivets didnt want to use the aluminium ones and iddnt want to buy another pack of steel ones. they gave me all they had for a buck . some were toast but had alot of good ones in the lot
All i got around here is oak so I adapt to it, i like it though. I used to fabricate metal. so im heavy handed with teh file. tried mahogany once for a neck. too soft for my likings neck came out like shite , oak, tough as nails I like it and I always get a dramatic grain pattern with it . More so than maple . Unless you get the fancy curly burly stuff that I cant afford. Rock on brotha
Thanks Ant - always enjoy your feedback! Oak staining project is moving along slowly... I now have 3 necks on the go. Trying to make a couple for myself before the house move. And of course working on yours too - stay tuned for some pics!
i can always spot me some Richey Kay, in the crowd. Awesome signature bridge , my favorite, and of course those wonderful drop headstocks, hows your oak staining project coming along. Fun i bet
Thanks J Lee/Kane :)
Very impressive - as always
nice!
