Bend my 2 piece backs over a pipe after joining, reinforcing the seam with veneer tape. Can also reinforce the out-side of the curves the same way (worth doing at least the ends with brittle woods.)...

It is many years since I picked up a set of these, so they may have changed. The ones I had had blades (I shan't call them irons) made of cheese. They're landfill somewhere now.
To minimise the number of cramps required, remember that the deeper the caul, the wider the effective spread of force from each cramp (think pressure fans out at 45° from the cramp head.) Could also...
How often do you think you can hear the named rhythm section on a 45? That the session musicians brought in to fill in the cracks are named is an unusual nicety.
Well it does have eight strings...

Would that the beard was still coloured in, but alas, that was in the '80s, and the zouk eventually fell foul of a flood (having survived 2 months hiking in...

Ooh.
Is the tenor lute peculiar to Vega (i.e. their cylinder back 4 string) or a more generic term?
Oops - nvm. have found other references.
Titebond also useless if the joint will be subject to heat during the build - rejoining the part bent halves of a cylinder back is a pain - whereas dry hide has quite a high glass point
Ooh nice. Looks like a 201 (the cylinderbacks being designated 202, 203, 205 and 207, according to furniture and ornamentation)
Whilst woods do change, the catalogue I have which features it...
To my eye, the fingerboard end styling makes it look like a left hander.
If you want nice filthy power chords in the mando family, just go with octave strings on a zouk - bar the two bass courses and you've still two courses to play in with spare fingers for overtones and...
On top of which, it's really nice to be able to sit down in the middle of a field, book in hand, without bits of wire in your ears, and listen to a new piece of music through your eyes. You can...
Strings will have past their replace-me date long before wear at the zero fret is an issue.
To me, whether or not to use a zero fret is like whether or not to put a carbuncle on the upper point -...
Agree. Indeed, years back I took the time to suggest it to Jet.
The only possible improvement would be one with a broken oscillator, so it could be used for pattern sanding without a customised...
Unfortunately I'm the sort who finds his public persona offputting to the point of obnoxious (would rather he let other people bang his drum and blow his trumpet once in a while.)
This delayed me...
If in a bind (ahem) then clothes iron set on kill and a soldering iron work better than curling tongs. Did my first (macassar ebony binding and EIRW cylinder back) with just these.
Thank you Markus - good point. Consider it struck from my lexicon.
Hehe. Very true Markus. In the UK at least up until the early 20th century, many shady characters of moorish complexion would pass themselves off as fakirs to gain favour and financial reward. Hence,...

I started violin at 6 - there's no way I could have used a full size instrument.
When I stopped playing in my early twentys with larger hands than average, the 4 As (220Hz, 440Hz, 880Hz, 1760Hz on...
If it wobbles, you will need to scrape a (miniscule) concavity into the cheek you run on when shooting. This will then allow you to true that cheek to the sole with relative ease.
As an alternative...
Hi Lynn
It's a couple of years now. I got a big bucket, so I used it for everything.
I just french polish it, and (fingers crossed) haven't had a problem yet.
More than you ever wanted to read about shooting boards:

Nope. No shear from this. A shearing cut arises from presenting the iron an an angle to the direction of travel.
Think of planing a diagonal across the face of a board from bottom left to top right....
