Fret hammer
The missus ran over my stew mac hammer.
Anyone know where i can buy a cheapish <$40 fret hammer (or brass faced hammer) from locally? Even second hand will do.
Not having much luck outside of the US retailers and coping high postage costs.

Re: Router?

Re: Western Red Cedar for bracings?
I've heard WRcedar is a 9 (where spruce is a 10). No personal experiences though.

Re: anyone know this make of guitar - Lyric?
I may be way off, but i vaguely remember hearing about a "lyric guitar company" that made classical guitars prior to WW1. Could this guitar be of that vintage?

Re: asymmetrical body shape on ukuleles?
As Allen said, very few instruments would actually be symmetrical. Especially hand made ones.
