I'm trying to build some wooden bobbins for a guitar pickup.
I tried some 2mm thick hardwood and cut the shape out but when I tried to put in the 5mm metal slugs it split the wood. They need to be a tight fit.
So I thought of using the same hardwood and use 2 x 1mm pieces and glue them together, but have the grain running at 90 degrees to each piece to stop the wood splitting.
Any advice on doing what I'm trying to do?
I was looking at a 6 tonne press to clamp the pieces together or which other way would work?
The pieces would be around 100mm x 500mm and I'd cut multiple pieces out once it's all dried
Thanks
