What's on the bench...(testing new image hosting)
Like many, I lost a lot of images on Photobucket bucket a few months back , and then they wanted a lot of money to host what was left. So, I'm trying something else to see if it works.
Just a couple of images from my iPod Touch of what was on the bench today. Yay! It works! I used Blogger - remember that? I ran a blog on ot for years before hosting my own. Right, looks like I'm back in business... Nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com |

Nigel's build
That's a very interesting first fret you have there Nigel. I'm assuming it's for intonation, but don't understand how it would work from the top. Please elaborate. Nice work by the way.

A lot of guitars don't need it, but if you make high output guitars, you usually do. And I do. With it, you can achieve equal temperament. Without it, you can't. If you want to read the theory behind it, search for Greg Byers, Mike Doolin and Trevor Gore. They can all explain it better than me. Nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com |

Nigel,
The pictures look great. The compensated zero fret is very cool. Thanks for the info on where to read up more... it directed me to more of Mr. Doolin's fantastic writing on guitar building. I've understood some of the advantages that would arise from intonating at the nut as well as the bridge, so this gives me a great place to start from. Your top curvature profile looks very interesting. Didn't really notice it much until I saw the binding around the tail and heel rising up. Do you do this on most of your tops? -Geoff |

Thanks for posting Nigel, your work is always interesting.
I tried Imgur as an alternative to P bucket and found it very good. I'm fascinated by the apparent physical appearance/ fibre structure of the wenge wood before it is finished. Looks like it would be hard to sand and also that it would soak up sealer relative to other woods with tighter grain. Is that the case? Col |
