Helpful websites

Post by ruby@magpage.com »

On another forum, someone posted a website he refers to whenever he makes a neck scarf joint. Just like him, I build instruments at a leisurely pace - works out to one every 10 months or so. So I end up taking a lot of pictures so I can look at what I did last time, and I also have a few websites that I refer to to kick my memory in the butt.

What procedures do you refer to a handy website for when you build?

For starters - carving a Martin-style volute, I use the sequence about 1/2 way down here, the one from John Arnold:

Great idea starting this thread, Ed. Like you, I need to review things frequently and have built up a long list of helpful links. I'll add some here. The volute carving thread was excellent!

This is great for fret spacing - I used it for a fan-fret build recently.

Thanks, robinsonb5. I'm about to start on my first multi-scale and that website is a great tool.

Steve Kovacik has an excellent page on making a pyramid bridge.
