Interesting idea, will practice up on the octave! Looking forward to it!
Awesome! Its a real joy to pick again with such great folks!

I'm in! Looking forward to the cause of all that sleep deprivation.
Keith
Oh man, too many conflicts this year. Have fun folks!
Comfortable ear plugs can be helpful when you are trying to catch up on your sleep.
Better late than never but I'm in! Looking forward to more picking than sleeping! Some OT tunes I picked up at a fest last month that seem to be popular: Shove the Pig's Foot... , Waiting on the...
Thanks for the input guys! Still contemplating the fix but I like my hide glue hot and fresh too.

In doing a neck reset on one of my stewmac f5 kits I found a neck (head) block crack in one corner of the dovetail slot going south toward the body cavity. The joint was probably a bit too tight...
Hi Ivan,
Not sure how much air travel would be but there are usually some number of folks from England and points much farther that come to the Kaufman acoustic camp each year. Its probably less...
I remember that performance, what a great lineup of pickers! Keith
A couple of data points: there's a bi-monthly jam up the road at the old train station in Holly Springs

and apparently some...
What Bill said! the 4-hour Bluegrass Workout is a veritable library of tunes for kamp. From his list I would be sure to get familiar with numbers 1, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, and especially 20 to get...
Jim,
The instrument might sound different after it breaks in a bit so that would be the safest thing to try. Otherwise, you could attempt surgery:
This takes a bit of courage but if you can get...
Ah, the infamous Pickloser = "PLAY PLAY PLAY".. the Energizer Jammer :) . I remember now, you definitely get my vote for the most enthusiastic picker of KK09!
It is good to hear many of y'all are...
Hey John (and folks),
Ray and I will both be back so we'll look for you. It'll be right after my daughter's wedding so I'll be about ready for some pickin!
Keith
Looks great Jim! Keep us posted.
For those near N. GA ,
There will be a lot of jamming going on all over town in Dahlonega this weekend. There will also be some workshops I believe. Hope this isn't a repeat.

Late as ever, but in my experience Tru oil is very easy, very forgiving, and each coat is very thin so it will take quite a few if you want a glossy finish. I usually seal with shellac first then...
Looks Great Jim! Keep us up to date on it.
Keith
Looks like its about 0.10" ~ 0.11" but I added a thin cross grained path to reinforce around the sound-hole making it a bit thicker than that where I can measure; hence, the approximation.
Good...
No the X extends to the rim in that direction but I do recall there being additional support around the sound-hole and toward the neck joint. Also note that the bracing does have an induced arch and...
Hey Jim,
A little late but here is my limited experience:
I built one of Don Kawalek's octave kits that is a flat-top design that uses X bracing and a round sound-hole. For reference the back,...
Tend to play fiddle in jams since I can keep up better with it.
Just a thought, you could put a strip of foam along the lower edge of the tone-guard to block the rocking motion. Something like 1/2" (3/4" would probably be better) thick closed cell weather...
