Use to be a ALAN that posted amazing lists of metric transposing gears. Any one know who?

Many thanks Mr. Wells!

Wow, that was weird. I've not visited PM in nearly a year. For some strange reason, I decided to look at the SB forum this morning, without even being logged in. The first thread I open is John asking after me. Spooky, no?

So, after a bit of password recovery, and getting used to this new format, I'm here. I assume someone has a metric transposition or motor wiring question? In the past year I have gotten into building cigar box and electric solidbody guitars, could also talk about that

Sure, here's a couple work in progress electrics. There's actually going to be quite a bit of machining in the headless one:


Then a few of the cigar boxes, three acoustics and one electric:
And finally, my current project is a series run of three Oliva boxes, with different top bracing in each.

I actually use the milling machine a fair bit for these, particularly for hole patterns and some pockets. There are also various bits of hardware like strap buttons that I make. So, some machining content here
