  • Nice

  •  Thanks , guys !!   The tuners are made from 1/4 inch thick pieces I had left from fret boards .   I saw them to size ,then coax them to shape with a table sander .  They are then hand sanded and "fitted" to the peg holes .  I drilled the peg holes under size , I think 7/32" .   I then took my rat tail file and begin twisting clockwise and counter clockwise , from the backside of the head , into the hole until I had a cone shaped friction peg hole .    I did a very fast rough job , the pegs slip if brought up to e or b ..... but stay tune very well tuned tuned to d and a ! 

  • Sweet. I love those tuners!!

  • Yup.   Just as Pat (Maddog) said.   Very cool.
