I've started compiling an OLF Tutorial page which can be found here.

OLF Tutorial Page

So now I need some assistance as the archives are so huge now it'd take me forever to search for every tutorial in there and I'd probably miss some anway.

If you could post in this thread the URL (ie the thing at the top of your browser that starts with

http://www. etc

together with a description of any tutorial and the author I will add it to the page.

Once we have it compiled it will be a trivial job for Lance or Brock to copy the code and integrate it into the new forum software.

Cheers

Bob,

Great stuff.

Anthony Z's headstock binding tutorial should be in - towards the bottom of here:

http://www.luthiersforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9785& KW=headstock+binding#forumTop

The "Correcting the Backbow" tutorial you have is linked to Joshua French's V joint tutorial.

Most excellent of you Bob for taking the initiative and thanks to Jebarri, Waddy, Kim and Dave for locating some other great ones!

Alain Desforges did a nice one on binding the end of a curved fretboard that I can't locate.

Wow there are some great tutorials in there.

Great Idea!

This will really set the OLF head and shoulders above other forums on guitarmaking...
People are enamoured with demonstrative pictorials relating to operations they wish to endeavour,
as it were

I wore my eyes out last night, but what I did was search on the title, using "(pics)", and browse. There are probably some threads that could be added, that weren't tutorial in nature, but that ended up being that as the entries came in. At the time, I was only looking for direct, "How to" threads. More time browsing will produce some more.
