Automatic glue dispenser

https://youtu.be/hwuFgq64mT4?si=NHJmgg12q2EL-D41&t=23 I was checking out this video from Warmoth and that fancy glue shooter caught my eye. After some brief amazon sleuthing I found something similar for surprisingly not as much as I thought it would cost. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098R7ZWP9/?coliid=I2RE7GKODJQXD4&colid=14B0Z9NCO74LW&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 Looks like the above link is entry level with some fancier units in t…

Pneumatic clamping

So stumbled on this video. Seems cool, I have large hands and am always cussing when using anything I have. I like the idea of pumping to apply pressure outside of the guitar. Curious if anyone used one previously?

Surface Inspection Light 2 - Electric boogaloo

This is a rehash of the amazing Loothprint that Mike (@member@member@member) shared to the group (Surface Inspection Light – The Looth Group). I don't have a 3D printer so had to take a low(er) tech approach. The pics should be self explanatory. I have linked to a DXF and CRV (Vectric VCarve) file in case it helps. I do most simple tooling in Aspire as I can move more quickly there than in Fusion. Components needed: .75" Baltic birch ply Flash…

Thanks Doug. I've got a "Pre-proper" TotalVise but have the Proper's station on order. This is perfect. I didn't know it would do this. Problem solved. :)

Seal Lite 3D scanner is here!

Not exactly 3D Printing but it’s the closest sub-category. After backing an Indiegogo project back in August, my Seal Lite finally arrived! My first impression is that this thing is pretty freaking cool. I tested it out after skimming the tutorial (because that’s the true test of interface ) and received halfway decent results. I put maybe 20-25 minutes of use on it this evening, and I’m excited to give it a more proper dive over the wee…

I agree that it would be hard not to get infatuated with using it. I’d be looking around the shop for things to scan and then make!!! Oh wait, guitars right. That’s the focus. I think for that pric…
