Week #34 5/27 - 5/31

This week was maybe the biggest week of the whole bass guitar project. First I installed the tuning machines. To do this I used a clamp to gently press in the shaft collars and then I lined up the tuning machines with a ruler and screwed them in. After the tuning machines were on I put on the strings. This is the biggest checkpoint of the whole project since the Bass is now playable. After I installed the strings I realized that a string tree would be necessary to hold the high g string in place to I designed on and turned it using the lathe.
