Thanks, the bindings are cocobolo and I forgot to mention the fretboard and bridge are riveroak

Thanks Martin

Hi All, Stung up my 2ndbuild (1st steel string) the other day. Pretty happy with the sound, best balanced guitar I own. Learnt a ton and made plenty of mistakes including real trouble with the projected neck angle despite sooooo much prep work. I have put in sound mass and the lower bout back brace ...

Are you using a tannin agent such as quebracho tea Pete?

Beautiful work alright. You have really a great visual balance of the bridge which I often think look cockeyed on multiscales

Also very envious of your fp job!

Recently found an Australian supplier of flamenco planetary tuners:

Great looking instrument I have absolutely no experience in this sort of guitar so really enjoy the audio file too

From either the book or the course, I think I remember that not much can be inferred from braced plates due to coupling effect

Love the white look of this non-guitar object too

Hi JWilliams, Are you talking about a closed box or a just a braced plate? Can you post your FRCs?

Welcome and well done Andos

That rewa rewa is very attractive

What a great thread. I especially like seeing the practical measures taken to change the FRC

Also great looking guitar!

Yet more hi-tech with an alternative bridge rotation measurement device - a smart phone app. Plenty accurate as it turned out.

How good is that, no jig required!

Hmmm so I might have been over thinking this is bit. It turned out to no where near as difficult as I thought it was going to be

I would have thought the biggest difference first and foremost would be scale length

Thanks Steve, well put together jig! Unfortunately I will have to wait until I have long enough linisher before I could have a go at that. Ok, so after quite a bit of youtube/google research I think I have my head around the process and I now have a plan to proceed. As I often find years old threads...

Steve

That would be great thanks Steve

Having written that all out, I think I have figured out that if the edges of the fretboard are even along their length the angle should not change. It is just the centre of the fretboard at the nut end, but as that diminishes to 0 at the saddle.

Hi there, I am building a short scale classical (604mm) and would like to put a compound radius/conical fretboard on. I am intending on doing this by hand with different radii sanding blocks but am just trying to work this through my head and any advice help understanding the process would be greatl...

Very very nice!

Steve, Normally there is a compulsory mediation or pre-trial conference first, the aim of which is to try and get the parties to negotiate a settlement with the aid of a mediator and if that fails the matter is then set down for a second date for adjudication. The problem is sometimes if you do not ...

That sucks Steve, I assume it is in a self-represented jurisdiction in WA, minor civil case in the Mags Court? Unfortunately access to "justice" without lawyers also means any one who can fill out a form can waste the courts and a traders time. I have a quite a bit of commercial/trader advocacy expe...

Nope, I really enjoy your tutorials

Very nice I like the restrained aesthetic and the audio clip were great

I think some of the photos are out on this one Steve
