The newest Luthier Tips du Jour instructional video is on Youtube. The topic is Steel String Bridge making. Subtitles are available in both English and Portuguese and you can translate them into any other language by using the CC option on Youtube.
As always, comments and discussion are welcome.
Enjoy!

Hey Robbie,

Excited to see this video, but it is saying that it is a "private video." Do you know how to fix that, or if I need to subscribe to your list or something?

Thanks for all these videos; they help me a lot.

Great video. As I said before your videos were the first videos I found on youtube when I was interested in building. They really helped give me a better understanding of what I was getting into.

thanks for another video.

Thank you Coe and Corky. I forgot the BR549 patent number on this jig. haha
I have a bunch of footage for future Luthier Tips du Jour videos that I hope to release this year. These will include:

Manual fret slotting
The Romanillos type V-joint
Double tops
Fret work
more pore filling and finishing
and many others.
