    Journeybear how do you do that rotating of an image? You can pm me or post, whatever suits.

    I'll post because people have problems with this, and it's not hard to fix, once you know how.

    Open the photo with an image program. I just use Photo, which comes with Windows (I think). That is, double-click on the thumbnail or icon in the file folder. At the top of the window you should see an option for "Edit & Create." Click on that, then select "Edit" from the drop-down menu. Above the image you should see "Crop & Rotate." Highlight that, and to the right you should get a few functions, including "Rotate." Once you've got the image how you want it, click "Save." Or "Save a Copy," which saves the original photo as well as creates a new file. You might want to do that until you feel comfortable with the operation.

    If you've only noticed the unwanted rotation after posting, it's a bit tricky to remove that image. You have to go to Edit Poat, then Go Advanced, then scroll down to Manage Attachments, and then delete the image out of the pop-up window. Otherwise, the image continues to be displayed as a thumbnail.

    All of this is easier than it sounds. I'm just going into as much detail as I can. It'll get easier the more you do it.

    That is, of course, after the fact. I believe there is a glitch in the software for these forums that when you upload a photo from an iPhone (or maybe any phone) it will embed it sideways. Moderators, can you verify that?

    That is amazing James. Have you used this bracing pattern before? What are the sound differences vs. traditional ladder back bracing?

    Jump to the list 20-30 seconds for the flux capacitor or watch the whole few minutes.



    I have to say the Condino flux capacitor is much more elegant looking!

    This one catches the luthier's tears better....

    Thx for all of the nice comments.

    Some days I approach instrument building with a huge array of math & science & lasers and analytical hububbery.

    Other days it is nice to sit back and let what is inside come out on it's own and not try to force a label on my 42+ years of instrument building experience & intuition.

    No matter how many times I do a sunburst finish, I remain amazed by what a bit of maple can become! Here is a Sorensen AX mandolin back ready for the neck installation, and the same back, this morning, after the second sealer coat of varnish. It just gets more lovely from here!

    Steve I enjoy your bend on bench work presentations. You and SOS’s graceful middle earth style luthiery have always been fresh air in mandolin family design possibilities. Thank you for sharing your muse.

    Well it is nearing completion. 3 months of work pretty much all done by hand. Specs are Carpathian spruce top, flamed hard maple back and sides, Asymmetrical neck carve (Ernie Ball musicman Axis) with a V tapering to a soft C, Speed neck finish, Varnish/French polish, deluxe abalone inlay, Bill James engraved tailpiece. Just waiting for pick guard material to get here so I can make that and install and then get it set up.
