Its a spa day manicure with my fingernail sanding machine ... well not really.
I am actually shaping the bone nut ... but as a side benefit the belt sander also does a most excellent job of sanding fingernails, albeit in the most unexpected times ;(










The new nut is a near perfect fit:











Compensating the saddle:










Hand reaming the bridge pin holes:















Reaming the tuner holes:










For the Gotoh 510 open back tuners:











Installing tuner bushings:










With a really high tech bushing press I made 25 years ago from an old broom handle, threaded rod and a wing nut. My dad always said that "Necessity is the mother of invention"
