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.

It comes from all the glue he eats!!

It's good information for anyone who's curious, we can all learn something and I grab every chance I get and I enjoyed John's videos.

Good Stuff Maynard

[/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.....

Hey guys-- any trouble fitting your slope dreads in a regular dread case? Or do you have them (the cases) custom made?

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...
