My wish list - free this free that -
oh wait thats my dream list

No seriously as far as wishlists go Im looking for an infill plane, {Id consider a range of models},
Not neccesarily by Norris, but either by British, Scottish or Australian makers would be fine - Must be useable shape, actually there was an infill maker named Ward that I wouldnt mind having a piece by {thats my last name}.
I would also consider files for instrument repair and construction, a crook neck chisel, I may think of more things.
TRADE I have a B&S set of mild figured koa I bought from Brad Goodman, and also a set of Walnut to trade.

Thanks again Lance - for the Swap Meet and all the great work on the site, and all the great opportuntities that arise here at the OLF!
Cheers
Charliewood

I'm still looking for a vacuum setup if anybody has one. In particular, I'm looking for the case to put my radius dishes in. I have all the rest.

Cheers!

John

I am looking for some low grade stuff to practice on. I could use some back and side sets and some tops. I figure that if I am going to ruin something that it might as well be something cheap.  Also an electric bending iron. I wouldn't mind trading, but about all I have to offer is some webpage work.

I'm looking for a Dremel base for cutting inlays. I could also use a couple of inlay type spiral router bits for doing inlays.

I am looking for a well-used side bender, or parts of a side bender that I can add to or modify.

I am interested in picking up a Petersen VS tuner and also a bridge pin hole reamer. I have some wood up for trade or would pay cash for these items.

Wish list item:

Does anyone have any very inexpensive (acoustic guitar) sets that are in some "glassy" wood, with small pores, that have some sort of visual defect (mineral stain, sticker stain, or just butt ugly) that could work for a painted guitar? I'll bet everyone that resaws has some material like this, and has no idea what to do with it.

Thanks,

Dennis

Another wish list item:

How about some highly figured "scraps" that are too narrow for fingerboards? Maybe even wedge-shaped. I'm looking for some quartersawn wood that is thick enough to resaw into two slices, that I can then use those bookmatched for the wedge-shaped piece in the center of 4-piece backs. I'd say minimum dimensions would be about 1/4" thick x about 20" long, and the face would be at least 1-1/2" wide at one end of the board.

Thanks!

Dennis

                    James [/QUOTE]

And that would look like what????? I have an LMI style...rides vertically on bearing rails, holds a small laminate trimmer and uses the varied interchangeable bottom bearing router bit to register off the side and an high density slippery plastic shoe to follow the top/bottom plates.
Is that what you want???

Hank ,tell me about your binding system.It`s the one Thing that gives me the most trouble.Is it what Lmi has in there catalogue.Seems there are 2 bases that make it happen.I`d like to find something better than a dremel.
