kominak -> Tools for bridge/saddle/nut (Feb. 27 2011 10:38:46)
I'm right before starting french polishing my first flamenco guitar and it will take a couple of weeks but I want to have the tools ready when it comes to making bridge, saddle and nut. So, what do I need and where to get it(Europe)? 1.Nut files: http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.de/product/705015/Glardon-Vallorbe-Saddle-File/detail.jsf or http://www.madinter.com/b2c/index.php?page=pp_producto.php&md=0&ref=TL-NF3 or Norman nut files from ebay (can't find an auction right now but I heard a lot of people are using them) What's your experience? Also, what sizes do I need for flamenco guitar? 2. fine saw http://www.madinter.com/b2c/index.php?page=pp_producto.php&md=0&ref=8316008 or http://www.madinter.com/b2c/index.php?page=pp_producto.php&md=0&ref=TL-H-FCSW 3. thin chisel (3mm?) http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.de/product/700800/Pfeil-Sculptors-Gouges-flat-double-bevel/detail.jsf 4.under saddle/ under nut file http://www.mehr-als-werkzeug.de/product/705077/Glardon-Vallorbe-Underslide-File/detail.jsf I realize 3,5mm is a little wider than common classical saddle but I'd like to have some room for intonation. Anything else? I plan on making more guitars in the future so I don't want to buy cheap junk but also don't want to pay more than necessary. 1-2 guitars a year max so the tools won't be used day and night. Thanks for any recommendation!
