(simple) Wood Turning in Darwin?
Hello Woodworkers!
I have just joined this forum in the hope of finding someone in the Darwin Area who can turn an endpin for me and my double bass.
I am a music student at CDU:
Basically I use a wood endpin that slots into the instrument at a 44 degree angle. This endpin has a taper of 1/17 where it inserts (about 5 cm into the instrument). The rest is just a length that goes to the floor and supports the instrument. The Current endpin I have was fashioned from Tasmanian Oak dowel from Bunnings. But it is too short (instrument is too low for me) My rather nice French carbon graphite endpin met an unfortunate end with a ride-on Lawn Mower...don't ask.
anyway - any help would be very much appreciated. At some point in the near future I will need to be looking at the angle of this endpin in the instrument body and will probably need something like this making up - a seaton saddle:
Bass Endpins
Anyway - sorry for the long post - it's really just a long piece of dowel with a specific taper at the end....or maybe 2 of them!
Thanks in Advance!!!!!
Tog.
