The customer has to be so wrapped with that Plus over the moon at the price

Interesting. I had a go at double kerfing to go around a Venetian bend on my current build with ok success. Might keep this in mind next time

Yeah I have, I am doing a arm bevel on my current build

Beautiful as usual Alan, I love the richness of the sequoia .

I have a scoop cutaway on my list too, although I think the lutherie community missed the opportunity in naming the cutaway after an Italian city. A Genoan cutaway for example.

Any tips now that you have done one?

Lovely instrument I agree with Mark, the arm bevel proportions are really nice

Beautiful. Really attractive design

Thanks Steve, but I'm just following the instructions that Trevor & Gerard lay down in there book. I don't mind the idea of some wooden bolt heads, maybe on the next one.

Thanks Trevor & dobot. I will give making a bit out of a spade bit or bolt.

Hi, Yesterday, installed t-nuts and bolted the fretboard extension, which left like a milestone I was pretty happy about. BOBO neck ext.jpg However as the head block plate is 45mm deep, you can easily see the bolt head through the sound hole, which I am unhappy about. I have used M5 bolts/t-nuts but...

Wow, ok so when gluing the fretboard on, I have been fussing over not getting glue on the trussrod or in the channel. So there isn't a problem with glue and the trussrod?

Very sleek

Very slick The royal lac seem to come up a treat too

Very nice, I like the end wedge

Good video. The last shots I had to pause tho to have a good look, the camo worked a little too well!

Fantastic work. Looks like the answer to the threat title is Yes, totally worth it!

Beautiful! I like the new asymmetrical heel. How are you liking the change to a bolt on neck?

I have been using FFT on iphone.

(Mind you I have only been testing pates for f since I installed it.)

Should you stop building until you get them? I would say no, because you are not going to exercise every idea in the books on your first build. You are already thinking about number two and three, so they can represent the evolution of your ideas and learning. You will still have the ability to do ...

Great tute Steve. They are becoming quite a deep body of work branching off to a dozen other tutes for every step. Well done

I totally agree, the black white combo is very nice I hear you with the ebony dust!

The gidgee and blackwood just go together like caramel and chocolate.

Beautiful

I really like the cedar and blackwood combo. The long neck design has jumping back and forth between the neck and the bridge. Am I crazy or do the proportions remind you of a bass? Anyway love it, beautiful uke

Mostly doing an arm bevel for the fun of trying it. Thanks Trevor will deduct the the 12mm I have planned for the bevel

Hi All, I am thinking of including a arm bevel al a Kent Everett and been trying to think through the processes. I had done target thickness calculations for the sound board on the full plantilla, but now I am thinking I need to deduct the net width (less the normal lining thickness) of the bevel fr...
