Good to see what you’re up to, John!

Here are a couple vids of my weekend using what is now called the “Looth Micro Factory (tm)” :D.

Here is my most recent completion, a Classical based on the Romanillos plan,
my second that incorporates the Moorish Arch hand-crafted rosette.
The top is Lutz Spruce, one of my last from the Shane Neifer stash :-(
B&S are EIR, H.Hog neck, and some really cool tuners,
the Der Jung 103 with an 18:1 gear ratio and roller bearing on the shaft.
Really well built and amazingly smooth feel.
Finish is EM6000.

Sorry you are sick, Brad! It's a good thing we changed our plans for your visit to WV. Hope you recover soon.

Am I correct in thinking that you are shaping the braces until you get a sound you like, and then you are recording on the diagram the brace heights that you wind up with? Or, are these target heights you are trying to hit?

Thanks, Don. I’m getting there. Ben and I are both sick so yeah, glad we rescheduled.

It’s the latter, recording at the end. The brace widths are static as a starting point. The height is captured post mortem.

However it’s good to have some guardrails too, a sort of not to exceed value to keep myself honest.

One thing I’ve never quite understood though, and perhaps it’s something that just comes with time spent doing the thing, is the idea of keep going until “it stops getting better”.

What I know for sure is that people can convince themselves of a whole lot and so I take all of it with a grain of salt. :)
