Tried a few new ideas out on this build.
1. A new version of 3D printed tuners I found on the internet; didn't realized the go the wrong direction until I strung it up. That's going to drive me nuts.
2. I went with 17 frets so I can work on learning an instrumental version of Scarborough Fair.
3. Tried out a new approach to sound holes using a hexagonal insert and pattern.
4. No more machine screws and nuts as I used deck screws to hold it all together.
Don't know if I will keep the nickel wound strings, I've become partial to flourocarbon fishing line.

Thanks Uncle John! The tuning was driving me crazy, so I mirrored the gears, reprinted the components, installed them, and now they turn like store bought ones. They are a new design I found on the internet, so I decided to give them a go. I'm very cautiously optimistic on how long they will work effectively based on past experiences.
Hope we will be hearing and seeing what you've been up to.
Pretty!
Thanks Kale; I'm delighted to hear it. I hope others are inspired to try new things after looking at my builds and I have been inspired by their builds (and yours!) over the years.
There is always something new to try out.
I love the way you combine 3D printed parts with traditional parts to create somehting so accessible. You have defnitely been a benefit to the CBG community Doug.
