So impressed with the E-Pub, I've gone and bought the physical Book as well ...
For those of you who want to save a Dollar or two, The Book Depository Sells 'The Book' with free Shipping.
From Amazon it would have cost 1/2 the price of the Book just to get it sent to New Zealand.

Re: Bending Sides issue
It must be an epidemic. I hope you don't mind me posting in your thread Murray, but I had the same issue with some flame maple on a bending iron. I didn't soak, just spritzed it but I didn't use a steel slat on top as it was bending easily. Now I know to use the slat. So is there a way to flatten t...

Re: Bending Sides issue
If you're bending around an internal mod then you need to apply heat over the entire side using a heat blanket on the outside or heat from bulbs on the inside (ie fox style bender). I used the Heat Gun from both sides. As the Fox Bender only heats from one side I would expect the same issue? I'm wo...

Bending Sides issue

So far, I'm more persuaded to the 'Tied through Bridge' for better Mechanical Integrity.

Re: Acoustic Bridge Types ...
' Thanks for the thoughts Guys. They tend to follow my train of thinking as well. Maybe I should not have put 'Ukulele' in my previous Post, as I assume that the Mechanics would apply to any Stringed Instrument with these types of Bridges. Now ... about the difference with the 'Tailpiece' type, wher...

Acoustic Bridge Types ...
. A query that may solicit some in-depth Comments, I hope. I'm building a Baritone Ukulele at present, (Instrument #13), and have noted that there are two distinct methods of constructing a Bridge for them. (Thanks Graeme McDonald for the Ukulele Book)! 1/ Classical Style, with the Strings tied off ...

The only issue I have is with iTunes, trying to get the Publication onto my iPad! (Worst Program I've ever dealt with).

Hi Frank,
I purchased On-Line last night and found that the Generic Version of the E-pub works on Win10 with no issues.
