Thanks all.
Rather than perform complex calculations, I'll continue with the build and adjust once done.

Re: Build 12.4 - approximating B(1,1)
Mr Eric,
Do you happen to have a link to those videos?
If that 230Hz peak really is the B(1,1), then I think I'll leave the scallopping for now. It's close to target, so it might be wise to see how the body as a whole measures before tuning.

Build 12.5 - Prop
All righty. I'm approaching gluing the top onto my sides. Build Section 12.5 is all about checking the geometry. Well, my top has flattened slightly longitudinally (from the neck to tail ends). According to the text this might be expected of falcate braced tops. I have 1.2mm too much space between t...

Re: Build 12.4 - approximating B(1,1)
Thanks guys. I knew it would be something simple! OK, here are the zoomed in versions. Can someone double check my thoughts regarding the interpretation of these spectrographs? I have a strong peak at 230Hz (the first of the double peaks). I believe this is the B(1,1)? If I'm reading the books corre...

Build 12.4 - approximating B(1,1)
Morning all! I've glued my back onto my sides. Build section 12.4 says that an approximation of the uncoupled back main resonance can be estimated from a spectrogram of the back+side assembly. Screenshots of the test attached. What am I looking at? Which peak is the one? Once B(1,1) is identified, w...

Re: Goings on in the workshop
Here's my progress. Spent a few weeks in Hawaii for work which slowed me down. Almost finished a Dunble style amp and combo cabinet. In the process of "finishing" the cab now in the hot QLD weather. Guitar build no.2 is on hold until the amp is done. Here's a few shots of where I'm up to. These are ...

Replacement Book plans?
Hi all,
I appear to have misplaced my original Build Book falcate plans (Drawings 3 and 4) . Does anyone know if there is a way to get a replacement?

Re: Digression into amp building again
Thanks everyone. Sneak peak of the Dumble style ODS (Overdrive Supreme). This shot is test fit of the faceplates, pots, switches, etc. Making sure the eyelet board and relay board fit correctly. I'm a bit of a DIY tragic, everything is sourced or made from scratch. I bent up the chassis from some sc...

Digression into amp building again
So, I cracked my EIR side whilst bending a cutaway... So while I think about a method to fix/work around my stuff-up I diverted briefly into my other hobby, building tube amps. Behold the Woke Heretic! It's a 100% recycled junk box build. AX84 Clean Preamp mated to a MOSFET Cathodyne mated to a 6V6 ...

Re: Gidgee source?
Mr. Loggerheads is having a break and will be back in business in the new year.
I too wasn't having any luck with the emails. Luckily he responded to my text, and I'm happy to wait a bit.

Re: Tap testing the panels - help, what am I seeing?
Hey thanks for the reply Trevor! I really appreciate it. I tried adjusting holding position and flipping the panel under test around to try all the sides. Moving the EIR back panel a little further away from the microphone did make the 167Hz peak stronger compared to the 197Hz. But I always got thos...

Tap testing the panels - help, what am I seeing?
Hi all. Yeah, yeah, tap testing panels... Bet you all thought you were over that didn't you? Well, it's my first time to this party. I've read some threads and gleaned some good tips to help me record decent VA spectrographs. But I'm getting some weirdness in the spectrographs for cross grain vibrat...

Allen, thanks for the brilliant tip!
Do you use the 0.3mm or 0.7mm stuff?

Re: Wood species for Falcate braces
Thanks for the tips!
I've been thinking of making a bending form and using my side bending blanket.

Re: Wood species for Falcate braces
I'm about to embark on my first falcate braced guitar so this thread has been great for me. Thanks all. I read a few years ago that people were using fabric softener to help bend problem woods. Anyone tried this with the Spruces for falcate braces? Slightly off topic - Anyone know who sells King Bil...
