Hi, I'm interested in any info on the carving copier, that you made, A few years back to make the banjo with. I'm wanting to start making stick dulcimers, but with the body and neck as one piece. This looks machine like it would work great for my purpose. Could you tell me what kind and type of pipe you used to slide over the 1/2" pipe? Also what the nut sizes you used inside the pipe? Any other info you would be willing to share about the build, and the use of the machine. Would it be possible for you to put up a video of the machine running it through it's paces, now that you have had more time to play with it? if you didn't want to post a video could you just send me a email, video or even helpful pictures. I think the way you built this is pretty ingenious. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your timeRev. G.A. Cloninger
