Not too bad. Made for a hybrid I'm finishing for a student because of the Pandemic. A classical style bridge in BRW with a 12 hole tie-block, capped with ABW veneer. Turned out at 19.5 grams. |

looks nice. It looks like you used a router for the ends. I rough classical bridges out on the table saw and finish the ends with a file. The router looks like it would make quick work of it. I know others are using 12 hole bridges (I think some even use 18 holes) Does it give more break angle? How do you tie the strings? |

I cut the Saddle slot and in channel front of the the tie-block with a router, and then chiseled the ramp. The ends (wings) waste were cut with a bandsaw to 10 mm holes drilled (up against a block) at the saddle slot ends and finished with a Japanese rasp/scraper/abrasive. Tying the strings, easy, here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt6mrDP5NGA&t=532s |
