- These peg holes had been widened too much. I turned some hard maple into tapered plugs today. After they are glued into place, I’ll re-ream, do a little finish touch up on the fresh wood, and tune to pitch.
- Every three weeks I spend a day doing a deep clean of the shop. Sweep, vacuum, mop, organize, make improvements. I also check out my power tools to make sure they’re tuned up and clean. It’s season change too, so there’s tasks that go along with that as well. Anyhow, today was the day! I didn’t sleep more that two hours last night, so I’m plum tuckered. #deepclean #sleepmaintenanceinsomnia

What do you use to clean old tuners like this Mike?
I scrub them with water, dish soap, and some baking soda using a toothbrush. Then I rinse and run through my ultrasonic cleaner. After things dry completely, I reassemble and lubricate all the moving parts. Usually works like a charm!
