Title: Ryan Colgan's Steel String Slinger Info
Post by: EL34 on July 06, 2019, 10:03:37 am: Ryan Colgan has designed a set of eyelet boards for the Dumble Steel String Slinger
It is a set of seven boards

I have been making these boards for customers
I condensed the seven boards into two .diy files using cut lines
I have a max length of 21 inches for custom boards and so I had to split the 7 boards into two long boards
The .diy files show the cut lines where I cut the boards apart after drilling them on my CNC machine
I attached an image below to show what the two long boards look like.

Ryan has all his project info on Github here.

Browse through all the folders to see all the info he has there
The color image of the full layout is sized down here because it was huge
Here's a link to all the full sized images

Here's Ryan's web site

I added Ryan's .diy files to the Misc DIY library here
https://el34world.com/charts/DiyLayoutCreatorFiles.htm (https://el34world.com/charts/DiyLayoutCreatorFiles.htm)

I added a new catalog page to my web store with Misc eyelet boards
These boards can be ordered on this page

The shipping calculator will not be correct for these boards because they get chopped up into 7 shorter boards.

Post by: EL34 on August 22, 2020, 09:34:25 am: Ryan has updated his SSS DIYLC layouts
There is a version 1 and Version 2

Version 2 is a revision of version 1

Looks like he just moved some holes around in re-vision 2?

Both of these versions are in the DIYLC library here

Look for R1 and R2 versions of the Steel String Slinger

Post by: dan46n2 on November 03, 2020, 08:40:35 pm: Does anyone know if the tall turrets can be installed on these Hoffman SSS boards that are drilled but without eyelets installed? Didn't know if the hole size was the same or not?

Post by: EL34 on November 04, 2020, 06:20:13 am: Eyelet layouts do not convert to turret lug layouts most of the time

Go here and read more info on that
