Here's the link to Sylvan Wells' router jig for rosettes. It was listed as a precision router base, wasn't so obvious.

This place is the most amazing resource I have ever come across. Thanks you all for being so generous with your talent and skill.[/QUOTE]

Amen to that.

I've added the last ones posted.

How about some suggestions of tutorials that you would like to see?

I can add a list at the bottom of the page that may inspire some more tutorial activity.

I can remember we've been asked to do one on how we make the curved end-grafts and Kim wanted one on how we apply the Ubeaut shellac.

Cheers

Tim McKnight had a nice pictorial on Bridge Attachment.

But for some reason there are no longer any images.

Bob, I was joking about the armadillo thread.

Ron,

You never got round to doing the "How to make a charango from an armadillo" tutorial

Dave,     as long as I have plenty of wood, that will be on a back burner.

This came up in another thread; Shane Niefer's threads about harvesting and processing spruce. Great stuff!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Not sure if parts 1 and 2 are really "turorials", but part 3 certainly has some good info about processing and resawing.

Hesh's "truing upper bout" is another good one to add.
