No problem Frank. The next set will cover; Making braces, Laying out bracing pattern, gluing braces, voicing, and cutting and installing binding. Should be three videos again if I can fit it all onto three....you know me.... I like to ramble. |

[QUOTE=Sprockett] It comes from all the glue he eats!!
[/QUOTE] I do eat way too much glue... ok so I don't actually EAT it but I do taste quite a bit... titebond is my favorite. LM I glue is pretty bland in taste, and hide glue.. well if you've ever smelled it you can imagine what it tastes like..... |

No problem as it just compresses the padding a bit more. |

John, speaking of taste Titebond doesnt hold a candle to the taste of fresh hide glue or better yet fish glue...  for that matter Shellac has it hands down in the taste battle versus nitro lacquer...
