Hmmm...from the looks of that tremolo, I'd say someone else has a nice milling machine in their shop...and some know-how as to using it!

Here is part two of the Tremolo. I still need a little more shaping then buffing.
Thanks Danny for the inspiration.

I'm a couple steps closer to finishing my tremolo. keep in mind this is still fairly rough and still needs sanding and polishing.
I'm going to shape the string guide, and drill holes tomorrow.

Heading down the home stretch. I have to do final shaping, sanding, and buffing. Should be done by the weekend.
I'm considering making another one as this one has several corrected mistakes. Now that I have patterns and experience another should be fairly quick.

Dan, that is tremolo really first-rate. You have much to be proud of, and I appreciate the photos. I bet other folks do, too!
