Top or Back First
I Just wanted to get some discussion going on what is best, ie Pro s or Cons of gluing a back on first or the top. I normally put the back first as then I can clean up any glue squeeze out that could be seen through the sound hole, but would be interested in any Ideas or comments and what others do....

Internet Security Anti Virus
Hi All,
I'm about to get a new antivirus software, can anyone recommend a good one or let me know what not to get. I'm running Windows 10
Thanks Tod G

Re: Current Build - Falcate Braced Multiscale OM cutaway
Some very nice work going on there Marty
Im sold on the falcate bracing with live backs, I have managed to produce a couple of very powerful Instruments using Trevors techniques and Im sure this one will be also. Im impressed with your carbon fibre laying very neat indeed.
Cheers Tod G

Hi all, I'm helping a friend get an old guitar playable, (sentimental value). the tuners are obviously cheap and have a bushing that presses into the headstock rather than nut and washer, does anyone know where I might find these machine heads or the bushings .

Re: ambulance drone
Thats better John, what a fantastic idea, I hope they get them up and running everywhere. These automatic defibrilators are becoming more common in public places, I know that in NSW every fire and rescue appliance carries one.
Cheers Tod (will have to catch up soon )
