Here is the latest Luthier Tips du Jour video - In this video I offer a viewer advice on how to make minor adjustments to nuts and saddles using bone shims. This video as well as all my other videos are available via my website, http://www.obrienguitars.com/videos , LMI's website or on youtube.

Thanks Robbie, as usual. The only problem I see for using the shim for the nut is that you can see it... I was wondering if you could make position markers using a plug cutter.

It might be hard to keep the bone from cracking when using a plug cutter. I would probably just use pearl or abalone for that.
