Official Luthiers Forum!

Todd has been doing some interesting Tutorials of his builds and This one is pretty interesting so I thought some of you would like to know about it. Check out his myspace link too. He seems like my kind of guy who is willing to share openly and I like his fancyingness.

That is some very cool stuff, definitely on my list of 'to try'. I was playing a guitar Saturday by a local luthier that's night and day different whether the back is touching you or not (he usually builds with a 'reflective' back and it doesn't make much difference, but this one was a semi-restoration of a very old instrument with a very thin back).

Here's another one by Todd that has some good stuff on armrest and invisable binding joints. I emailed Todd and ask if he could explain how he get's and cuts the armrest initial blocking. He replied that this double top gets and arm rest and he'd document it in the double top discussion. I have to say I really like the detail he puts into the inside.

What beautiful work. Now I want some quilted sapele . . .

I hope you told him that at the link. I don't think I've seen him here.
