Lutherie tools
Hey there everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm looking to get ahold of old, but serviceable, tools as well as wood/scraps.
My list of power and hand tools that I would like to fill: power tools band saw table saw drill press w/sanding drums bench sander (horizontal variety preferred) planer a good quality router and router table hand tools a good quality hand plane CLAMPS! paring chisels fret saw fret puller rasps (nicholson #49 & #50) files jeweler's saw miscellaneous abalone spalted woods (I find them interesting for inlay work) burls Thanks for reading. |
Some of the things on your list are quite regional. I would buy a band saw local... Craigslist is your best bet. Join OLF (Official Luthiers Forum) and advertise your wants there. I bought out a local fully equipped Luthier with all most all of the tools and 50 sets of wood! For pennies on the dollar. I found him on the OLF.
I have found eBay to be too heavily bid on cool old tools BTW wear face protection. Especially when cutting Spalted woods. Spalt is mold. What area are you in? |

I am in Vacaville, CA. It's right between Sacramento and San Francisco, on I-80.
Hey this is a totally random question, but have you or anyone else reading this thread ever used something completely unconventional for a rosette or other inlay? I'm considering nutmeg. But would I have trouble working with something like this, as far as oil in the nut? http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...009/nutmeg.jpg |
