Neat!

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Very neat, thanks! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a neck reset on an old mandolin-banjo.

Very clever method, Todd. I had to do this a while back and ended up freehanding it on my disc sander.

Your procedure is way more satisfactory ...can't wait to try it out ...
