bdickey at suddenlink.net

remembering the day when there was much less help available, maybe some newbie luthiers might benefit by taking a look?

I certainly take my hat off to two guys who helped me:

Charlie Hoffman, Minneapolis

and

Frank Ford, Palo Alto

Cheers, Bruce

Thanks for posting those links Bruce. Oh, and one more thing, don't forget Hesh is still watching and if he didn't have your picture before, he does now. ;) I'd be willing to bank he still has that pic modifying software. :D

Bruce, Thank You. I really like the saddle sanding jig (having just ruined three saddles - not square on the bottom). Tony

Thanks for the links Bruce,

I can honestly say that your sharing nature and friendly welcome back when I first I joined the OLF allowed me to feel right at home and become a part of this community. That involvement has since seen my knowledge of this craft grow much faster than the few years of my own experience would normally have permitted. So a heart felt thanks go to you Bruce Dickie, and also to those other great people who have shared so much, so freely, with so many. [:Y:]

Cheers

Kim

Do you still use the bi-flex kerfing?

Steve this was an idea shared after I got it while on vacation. I've not done a production run of these because of the stock on hand from Mark Ketts. Modifying an existing kerfed lining was the basic idea. Doing the waist area of a lining for 4 to 5 inches would be all that would be necessary. I guess the tight curves and quick height changes are the reason it's even a problem. I don't have this problem on 28 radius tops, just my 15 radius backs.

Thanks for the replies guys.... no permission needed... shucks.
