Parts BUILDERS please raise your hand and be known!

Post by J D Sauser »

Hoping this meets B0B's blessing, I would like to invite PARTS builders, people or shops who are and would be willing to manufacture quality parts for repairs, mods or prototyping or even small production of Pedal Steel Guitars to "raise their hands" here.

I am looking for some of you, and I might not be the only one.

If you prefer to stay private (not posting emails and phone numbers on a public forum), pleas just identify yourselves with you Forum Name and a description of what you do, can do and would be interested in doing.

Thanks!... J-D.

Parts

Hello All. Just to throw it out there I am a hobby machinist and make my own parts for my steel projects. I am not interested in competing with anyone making parts and OEM are always going to be best. But if you have broken or worn parts from an odd guitar or from a manufacturer no longer in business I would be glad to try and help.

Thanks Barry

Thanks Barry!
I evidently have my own needs and "dreams".
But everybody on the Forum will have their own. So, if you can help somebody, it's a beautiful thing.

Thanks for posting!... J-D.

Hello Everyone. I’m glad for this builder’s corner. I’m a retired machinist and I like to make parts for steel guitar. I can duplicate parts like bell cranks, cross shafts,knee levers or whatever you need. I just enjoy doing it as a hobby. If I can be of help PM me. I’m located in NE OHIO.
