I had to make a full size mechanical it took 28 hours and I got measurements from many people who had an original. I'm going to sell the plans for 30. yeah the bridge was not easy as I need worked with metal before.

@@pbjob great did you say you were selling the plans for 30 I would be interested in buying them Louie

@@pbjob just let me know if that was 30 for it thanks louie

I had to make my own mechanical drawing it took many hours to get right.

@@pbjob Where and how can I order them?

I spent 30 hours making the mechanical with measurements. are you on fb? find me and we can figure it out thanks

thanks!

thanks!

The fender head plate and pickup cover are from two original lap steels but I made the bridge myself. these would have to be custom made as they are hard to find- I lucked out. good luck

I never said this is a step by step complete tutorial. There are plenty of step by step build vids out there-this is not one.

Thanks it was a lot of work but I always go back to this lap over everyone I try. I found the side view searching online can't remember. the headstock is 9/16" the challenge is what are you going to do for the fender logo headstock plate? that becomes the nut. theses are very hard to find I lucked out and got that and the pickup cover from a 1952 fender on eBay. you could make a copy if you have the metal skills.

Ohh thank! you its funny at times my mind is a tornado other times I have the focus lol Cheers

Don’t let ADHD be a crutch. I have ADHD too, but I love building instruments and making projects. Just get out there and start working

No I don't but fb market is a great place too look.

thank you@@pbjob

Actually I have a 1949 supro that is fantastic for sale inf you are interested? Thanks

probably way out of my price range thanks @@pbjob

I found the pickup cover and the fender logo and nut on eBay very hard to find. I made the bridge

ahh man this would be tough to sell

cool! thanks so much! yes it plays like a dream. yeah I saw that on a UA-cam vid with the pin so smart.

Hahaha i'm cracking up over here. yes it was a mess. The best was went I asked why it was too wide- he said you can sand it down! Nailed it!

Thanks!

Thanks John

Thank you Steven! there's just a small clip at the end but I will be making a vid with more sound samples. I love this pickup its from Lollar. Check out my bridge making video that also has some sounds at the end

Lollar is a good company. I'll check out your bridge video.

@@StevenParente Yeah I ordered from them in the past very impressed.cool thanks

Thanks so much!

ahh thanks so much I appreciate the kind words

Thank you Chris! wow yes it a lot of work especially without the right machines lol Cheers

Hey thank you! so the fretboard was done over seas it was a nightmare but I got it done, but they will not make anymore it was a rare situation. The Fender plate-logo is from a 1951 I found on eBay- very hard to find and you need this because its the nut also. the metal pickup cover is from a 1952 I also found on eBay but again very hard to find. I was lucky! Cheers

Thanks! do you watch to the end? these last two vids are not about my playing its more about the lap steel itself but you can hear the tone at the end.I will be posting more playing with my amplifier demo coming soon.

Thanks so much appreciate it.

I used stew Macs dye it was called straw I highly recommend their dyes. I mixed mineral spirits with poly I did very thin layers not to get too thick about 20 layers.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Hello Peter, Im not sure off hand it was in the free section. Ill see if I can find it. Cheers

Thank you Jill see you soon

Thank you Jen yes that took me a while to understand and put into use- it makes a big difference in ones ability to sculpt shapes vs flat linear approach. Cheers
