The newest Luthier Tips du Jour instructional video is on Youtube. The topic is abalone. 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!

Thanks a lot Robbie.

I used to glue it with epoxy, and put it into the channel before the abalone is installed. As a result my fingers are completed glued as well ... :oops:

Thanks again. It's great to see your videos

Regards from Spain

So, the inch long, or less, straight pieces look curved when they are done? Is that the idea? Almost an optical illusion.

Thanks Robbie, your usual fine job on the video. I always wish you were doing these 4 or 5 years ago when I was desperate for building information.

Thanks for the information. You make it look easy and I know it isn't as easy as you make it look. Job well done!

They are curved after installation. They just conform to the radius. If you want to use a radius piece in the waist you can.
