I don't seem to be able to get the embedded Youtube functionality to work. |

Did he cut that top out with a drill? I've not seen scalloped edges like that before.

Thanks mc1, I now see how it works. Just the end part, not the whole URL.

It's a bit funny because when you do a search on parabolic bracing. You get forum posts where they start out with someone in a way bragging that they only build using parabolic bracing, and then someone else corrects them. With the original question not fully answered, But I guess there wouldn't be a correct answer anyway.

That is one issue, yes. There is nothing "parabolic" about the longitudinal shape or the cross-sectional profile.
The comments adjoining the video, made by the author, state a bunch of things that can only be described as "mis-informed". I guess I'm late to the "parabolic bracing" picnic, so to speak. Here is what Scott van Linge has to say on the subject, http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/...1350923-/page2 (note that the websites listed below no longer work.) Quote:

I took a read through the comments, and it left me feeling sad that his heel less design was a failure.

It's hyperbole.

hyperbolic parabola!
here is a hyperbolic parabaloid. i wonder if anyone has made braces like this? |

Indeed it is.

It's a parabolic hyperbole, not to be confused with hyperbolic parabola. |

Ha-ha...THAT old video!!
Suffice to say I don't do my bracing like that any more!
I should take that old video down....it's embarrassing! As the discussion in the video's comment section says, I agree that there's nothing parabolic about any of the curves....perhaps they should be called parabollocks curves? I got "caught up" in the marketing hyperbole, sorry. My "internal heel" idea is still alive (just) and I may revisit the idea later this year. I have continued to do experiments of all kinds with new materials and building techniques. Looking for my niche in the market I guess.... E.g. my all-spruce triple-top with strat-like arm relief curve experiments seems to be working out - I have a couple more experimental guitars in the pipeline with improvements (thanks to some useful suggestions from other builders and players) - stay tuned.
