I realize everybody knows what you actually meant to say, but you might still want to edit it ...

get it sand-blasted

The use of a toothing plane in the veneering process back in the day was mainly on the substrate ...the objective was to leave tiny channels into which the excess hide glue could flow, preventing...

It is an interesting video indeed, BUT ... no way should any amateur start messing around with anhydrous ammonia ... the risks are enormous , and just not worth it (and I am by no means an extreme...

I should have mentioned in the previous post that unlike with the top braces, like the UTB and the X-brace, tucking the ends of the back braces serves no structural purpose, only for location , so...

Yep, that's the reason. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Absolutely. The rebate for the binding is going to be deeper than the depth of the tapered end of the brace ... it all gets hidden.

I don't get the "cutting the back braces to the right length" thing.

Don't you just leave them oversize, and trim off the overhang prior to cutting the binding ledge?

The distance between the fretboard and the strings does not , by itself, have any bearing whatsoever on what the instrument sounds like.

The height of the strings off of the top of the soundboard...

please define "collapse" - are we talking about terminal failure, permanent deformation or reversible deflection.

If Stradivarius and the other old time violin makers had been able to obtain these bad boys, they wouldn't ever have bothered to go around breaking glass panes to get their scrapers ...

A piece of broken glass does indeed make an effective scraper, but steel scrapers are slightly more practical and dependable.

Nonetheless ,...

I'd forgotten that there is a limited time-span available for editing posts ...

Great post ...you might just want to edit the table of guitar compensations to show the correct imperial action heights for the metric equivalents ... they all read .060" at present.

Not that it would be of any relevance to fretboard radius, but worth noting that you can also cut a much smaller radius than the diameter of the sawblade by clamping a temporary fence at an angle to...

If your tablesaw has a tilting arbor, you won't need to buy a new tablesaw... you will be able to cut any radius likely to be encountered in any fretboard. Technically, of course, these profiles...

That's how I make cross-cut sleds as well, but I make the rails marginally lower than the slot height, and shim them up with washers while gluing and pinning.

Your use of the plural "frequencies" confuses me ...do the plates , whether stiff or heavy, not vibrate at whatever frequency is supplied to them by the string ... or do you mean that a stiffer plate...

It seems almost churlish to offer any criticism of such a venerable lady, but she is not really correct in describing the scale length as being the distance from the nut to the saddle on the first...

The steam doesn't need to be all that highly pressurized ... I used to use 6" diameter plastic downpipe with standard plumbing fitments to steam 1 1/4" oak, back in my furniture making days.

I was absolutely amazed when I discovered that the blade on my Grizzly cabinet saw (bought in 2001) was dead parallel to the miter slots straight out of the box. I had expected to spend a morning...

There is a substantial difference between "not being invited to post" and "being invited not to post" .

Personally, I find all this excitement and excitation is too much for me ... I'm going to...

Bullseye ...

Now I'm confused ... would heating the inside of the fridge not increase the RH inside the fridge ?

Different folks, different strokes.

The Harry Fleischmann style jig which Kenneth Michael disparages so much, is IMO a vastly superior approach ... to me it has always seemed more appropriate to...
