Wow Paips-that adapter is PERFECT...so send it over to me! Yeah, I doubt I could find an engineer around here, who knows. I think the rep from Grizzly has me convinced to keep what I got and try to make it work. Thanks SAr1 for turning me on to Grizzly. Got their catalog, it's HUGE, like a phone book. Chock full o good stuff. It looks like Fender and Taylor use their machinery...cool. The support is really good too, I got emails, and then even a personal phone call, on a SATURDAY no less. He said I could go to the G5552, one size down, but with cost of shipping AND restocking fee :(, not really worth it. I think I'll try wrapping some thin copper sheets around the shaft, and try to work it that way.
Got a couple pieces of stone! Claimed to be jade...highly doubt it, but I don't care, these are kind of practice test pieces.
Still waiting for some other supplies I ordered.
This thread has been REAL good to me, thanks.
Hopefully other beginners can get some useful info off of here.
