Thanks, Rick! When do we get to see your next build?!

 

And, yeah, it was an interesting mix of feelings at the end. Relief that it actually worked. Surprise that intonation was pretty close. And probably some sadness that the journey had ended.

 

But mostly relief. :)

hell, I've been overtaken by work recently and have had sod all time ... but some crafty rearranging of my hours (which basically means "frig it, lifes too short to work all the time so everyone can sod off" :lol:) will enable me to get back to it. I'm in the middle of making a jig to cut M&T joints, the plans for which would shame those of a nuclear carrier - it may take a while :facepalm: But this one has Silver Oak b&s with a Carpathian Spruce top with some fancy binding/purfling. Not a cutaway ... feck that was tricky lol.

 

I know what you mean, its almost (but not quite) an anticlimax when shes finished, that feeling will soon pass when you start playing her ;)

Just in case there are any nerds in the audience, here's some nerdly tap tone data:

 

Top after thicknessing: 179-180Hz

 

Rosette installed: 190Hz

 

Bracing on and tapered: 196Hz

 

Sides on: 215Hz

 

Back on: 229Hz (air: 100Hz)

 

Bridge on: 203Hz (air: 106Hz)
