Treble F-hole wing lifting slightly, a concern?
Wee B. Bridges replied to dpappas's topic in The Pegbox
Personally if you are satisfied with the sound, I would not worry about it. The only concern cleaning with a rag to not get snagged and inflict any damage. Typically in new construction we lower that leading edge of the wing during the carving ( à la Stradavari) so as to not have that scenerio present itself. ref: Secrets of Stradivari - S. F. Sacconi -

There is no advantage being a self taught maker/repairer— go to a violin making school and get the proper training. Think of it as kindergarten with papers. Go from there.

Hmmm... Any violin making book will contain information on peg whole placement, I would suggest studying up on the entire concept. http://www.weisshaarrepairbook.com/overview/ https://www.cremonatools.com/the-secrets-of-stradivari-s-f-sacconi.html

Arch Height Measured from what reference point?
Wee B. Bridges replied to deusAblutum's topic in The Pegbox
In new making the final arch hgt in the classic 'tradizione Cremonese' is typically established as you carve the top arch first, therefore the un-excavated flat bottom measured with your dial calipers, is this total thickness —before you begin scooping out the inside—so yes this would include the plate thickness at this point. -

If you had to choose - Scroll vs Band Saw
Wee B. Bridges replied to JacksonMaberry's topic in The Pegbox
There should be no question—a quality bandsaw. -
They look like fish out of water. Traditional old-time Appalachia musician have been playing with flattened bridges for generations—just saying.

General speaking, if it is a single string I would think soundpost adjustment. If it is more than one string, ie top register vs lower register I would think bridge adjustment (carving) to bring it into balance.
