What is you method for a getting compound radius?

Very, very nice!

I really like the idea of straight string-pull but really don't want to give up on a symmetrical headstock. On my current steel string build that has led me to try thru headstock banjo tuners. But the other day I did see this : FullSizeRender.jpg So I am thinking that with this sort of articulated s...

I never heard back from Pegheds so assume that is a no go for steel string. Instead I have ordered 2 sets of banjo tuners and see how they go. They are 4:1, so not preferable but my only other option is Steinbergers

Not yet but I do enjoy your posts

Thanks for the post, really enjoyed seeing that process

Looks really great Dave. What is the finish ?

Pardon my ignorance but what is “VA”? Might be nice to have an online listing showing software that builders can take advantage of for whatever purpose they may need. Just a thought. —Max VA is a piece of audio analysis shareware .....used by alot of the members here for tap testing. http://sillanu...

Very nice . I think the photo's are great. What finish did use?

Thanks for a great post! That is going straight to the pool room (or bookmarks).

I have seen plastic replacement rollers that attach to machine heads too

C'mon man, that was a little bit funny

I saw this great youtube vid about reversing hide glue joins

What phone app are you using Francis?

As someone who recently french polished after gluing on the bridge, my strong recommendation is to glue the bridge on after the finish. Granted it was my first time french polishing, but I reckon I spent 3 or 4 times the amount of time due to the bridge and around the bridge is the only part of the ...

Very very nice!

So to say that a free top plate with a spike at F# will "sound good when playing in F#" ignores both the 175lbs of tension and the phase incoherencies when the F# chord is struck. I don't think anyone here is saying that 1. Taking readings prior to the plates being attached, simulating attachment a...

I have response curves that prove my point, but its a hornet's nest if I just post them without the support it needs for people to understand it all. The best vehicle will probably be a video series with images AND audio simultaneously, so I can show people what they're about to hear, and they can ...

Beautiful

This is fantastic thread! Can't wait for the rest

I'd focus on getting your head around The Books first...once you do that everything else will make sense Oh yes I am. I have been tap testing as I build, working my way through online course on A level math and physics (masses on springs...) etc but I can wonder what a sparse falcate with a falbo b...

With this in mind, this is where I start to talk about phase linearity and the comb filtering Damn, just when I had started to get my head around monopole mobility and frequency responses, another rabbit hole to climb into! I can't stop someone from buying one to destroy, but its an expensive exper...

Thanks Trevor, Jim and Martin
