Violin Repair, Making..... Yeah I'm a nerd that way. I like tools and am trying NOT to have a problem with collecting them. I'm a mentor for teenage boys with Boys to Men Texas. You never know the impact that helping 1 person can have on the world.

How much are you charging for these? -

I offered and am happy to do it. And I will do what the group decides to do. Sorry. Just saw this now. I'm willing to provide the fittings too.

FREE part for Shop Fox Model W1670 Radial Drillpress. This is a Geared Table Support Bracket Version 1. Part # PX1669097. This is for the Radial Drillpress made pre-2018. Grizzly sent me this replacement part which fits a 60mm column. Mine was the later version 2 that has a 70mm column. Instead of having this part sent back, they said the shipping cost was more than the cost of the part and they didn’t want it back. So I don’t want to throw away a perfectly good part. I hope you find this post on a search for this replacement part. It is FREE. All you have to pay is actual shipping. I will hold on to it for awhile and hopefully I don’t lose track of it. Thanks!

Have you tried burnishing the joint afterwards? I have had success burnishing back a subtle irregularity.

Use just the tiniest drop of liquid soap. Then it will dry and stick the tubing to the feet. Yes, it will stay. I have done it this way for years and not had any problems. Good luck!

The hair usually moved the balance point 4-5 mm towards the tip. Dorian

The reference I have shows: Silver wire 73mm wrap ≈ 5.1 grams Tinsel 75mm wrap ≈ 1.9 grams If you're adjusting the weight of a bow, don't forget to take into consideration the balance. Hope that helps! Dorian

I used to do less scoop also. I had a player remark that it made it more difficult to do left hand pizzicato. Also, he commented on not feeling enough resistance when pressing down the strings. Dorian

Hide glue alternative recipe with deer antler
barnesviolins replied to Marcus Ekengren's topic in The Pegbox
Very creative! Well done! I think the real test would be in joining plates with it. You could try gluing quartered spruce and maple samples around 3-5mm thick and then try to break them apart and see how confident you feel the joint it. Good luck with your project! Dorian -
That's what leaving the pencil line can do......

Thanks John. I was just thinking about that. I will rethink the number of cleats and spacing.

I am looking for advice on fitting the bass bar over crack cleats. The crack is nearly the length of the bass bar. I'm thinking of around 4 cleats for the crack. I intend to do the type of cleat that Triangle Strings demonstrates in their write up for cleating cracks. So with that cleat design in mind: What is the best way to fit the bar to the cleats? Chalk the top of the cleat and fit until the bar touches the top again? Any pitfalls to look out for? Feedback from your experience would be appreciated. Thanks! Dorian
