Hello Moderator-san and all. Nice to have a yahoo mailing list devoted to this subject, and I am certainly happy to be joined up. I would like to ask for views...
I asked elsewhere about this one time, and never got a response on that forum, so .... Any recommends on bending jigs, or should I be thinking of other tools? ...
Okay, what do YOU do or use to make sure a receiver is in round (laterally, vertically) before you start any potentially hasty work on a tenon? Ed Kraus chided...
I've got a bunch of different jigs, mostly from jewelry supply houses. I think I have the MicroMark one as well. I also use a set of orthodontist's pliers...
I use the new Ferree shrinking jig (I got the first one!), some Ed Myers rounding blocks (anodized heat treated aluminum, very heavy duty) and assorted inserts...

I've been doing this for a living since 1972, and want to warn you folks about something that happened to me yesterday: I was lapping a G key from a Super 20...
... humid> environment. THE TEFLON SPRAY SEEMS TO TAKE CARE OF THAT Ironing sets the stage for instability. IT TIGHTENS THE LEATHER AND REMOVES ANY GRAIN. I...
Wally, No I have not found that there is an optimal taper, just different ones. If you have ever compared a early Mk6, a late Mk6, a Superdynaction and a 6M ...
I am not a saxophone repair technician, but have successfully done a bit of minor repair work on my own horns (recorking pad replacement, regulation). Next...
I'm going to turn some inserts on my own. Didn't know about the Ed Myers blocks, though. I don't understand you when you say you use the shrinking jig. That's...
Hi Steve, I think I have a Rio Grande tool catalog lying around somewhere, and will take a look. It sounds like you've tried numerous possibilities without ...
Didn't know about the Ed Myers ... I'm not sure if they're in the catalog orif Rex made them for me on my request. I really just don't remember. They were a...
This may be blasphemy, but I've yet to actually see it. I've heard about it for years, ("the old Buescher's all had it..."), but I've never seen it! It does...
Sounds like you're talking about the shrinking die blocks for neck tenons. I'm not asking about what folks do to the male tenons for fit, but about the ...

Hi, I've noticed that some of my postings have arrived on the list far later than anything I've experienced to date with other yahoo mailing lists. Usually...
I will do the same as the last step for fit (using the actual neck tenon in this case), but I don't believe it's the right way to get the receiver socket in...
By optimal I guess I meant "best compromise." The current one-size-fits-all mandrel now available may have it, and I may be wasting my time wondering whether...
