Are you going to build an NF4 when Dan makes the plans available?
Could be an winter project.

Nf2?
Andre / BC,
I think I read in a previous posting here that you have both built and use the NF2 spinefinder. Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost for the parts and how long did it take to construct?
I'm beginning to think that with winter approaching fast, I'm going to need a project... perhaps building one of these and 'spining' all of my clubs will be it!
BTW: Any opinions on how much better one of these things is compared to the spinefinders you see on Ebay?
Thanks.
MJF

You should wait til the NF4 comes around.The plans are scheduled to come out in about 4-6 weeks if everything goes well. The cost of parts for the NF2 was approx $120. Canadian. It was a much better spinefinder than seen on ebay cause not only could you find the spine(well residual bend but that is a long story) you could also measure deflection(much like a deflection board) at different locations across the shaft and put up a set a lot faster than using a Frequency meter. Anyway maybe more later. If you live in the west end I am sure BC would gladly show it to you.

The NF1 and NF2 were not difficult to make, however, access to a table saw and a drill press was essential. The NF4 will not be as easy to make, however, if I can do the other two, so can you. What else are you going to do in the winter anyway?
If you want to have a look at my NF2 sometime, send me a PM, after the 24th of September.
