5.0 out of 5 stars A good read. Well done Dave

This is a well put together story. Lots of seemingly unconnected plot lines all come together in a very satisfying conclusion.
5.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2024
With this ingenious basis for a mystery story, D K Dickens has has come up with a plot that will keep you riveted till the last page. Unputdownable.
RUclips comment: I've read it and really enjoyed it, a real page-turner. It's got everything, romance, gangsters, nasty big Corp, suspense all wrapped up in a great plot. You might know that a musician and guitar maker would also make a great author. Well done!

Nice work Dave. In the spirit of Edumacation :) My store bought Classical does have less depth at the neck end as does my steel string acoustic. Like you, I made my nylon string uniform depth. Its debateable as to why the depth variation is used. Some say its to stop uniform wave forms from cancelling each other out. Personally I think thats BS especially considering we are dealing with natural products with variation all through them.
I think I agree with you. So what do you think about adding a curve to the back of the guitar, like a steel acoustic? Would that focus the sound waves towards the sound hole? I've not done not research on this but I assumed there must be a reason for the curve. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Cheers Dave
@@DaveDickens I dont know Dave. I think that stuff is pretty complicated. As far as I am aware, the primary function of the hole is to allow the free movement of air, so that, the top can vibrate freely, the sound function is secondary. My steel acoustic is a Taylor Academy 10e. It has a bowl back. I dont know if it improves the sound but it looks cool :) the main benefit as I see it, is that, The bowl back has no bracing, making the guitar lighter and I guess saving cost for a big operation like Taylor. As you may be aware (from your side bending adventures) curved timber is much stronger against forces coming from multiple directions. Its the same with modern cars, as materials became thinner, curves and angles were added to increase strength.
I have a suggestion. Put a few pieces of wood or metal connecting the top and bottom of your go-deck. If the bars under tension can’t force the top and bottom apart, other bars won’t fall out because they will still be the same distance apart. Since they are already connected near the wall at the back, you might only need a couple at the front to accomplish this. I look forward to hearing how your unique bracing makes the guitar sound. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Great advice and I think I may have solved the issue, we’ll see. Cheers Dave
Hi again Dave.. all coming along nicely. A suggestion for your go bars could be to put some non slip ends on them - maybe attach some folded over pieces of rubber inner tube to stop them slipping. Also as someone else mentions a couple of braces between top and bottom faces of the go platform to stop them flexing apart. All manner of things can be used as go bars including glass fibre tent braces! Cheers Terry
Great advice, I hadn’t thought of inner tube. Cheers Dave
Looking great Dave, I wasn’t sure of the water splashes off the dolphins but you’ve won me over this week
Thank you, I’m not a very good artist but fingers crossed. Cheers Dave
adventures of acoustic guitar top bracing. i'm glad you got it sorted out.
Cheers Dave
LOL Go Go Bars. Dave, I expect to see dancers behind those bars in the next video.
😂
It's coming along. The neck blank you glued up does look pretty nice.
Thank you! Cheers Dave
I the progress you have made! I look forward to the next chapter!
Thank you! Cheers Dave
🤘💙👍
👍
Dave you need a better Go bar deck
but you are doing great work Dave
It certainly needs improvement. Thank you, cheers Dave
Glue another layer a few mil thick onto the top of your go deck (you've probably got this problem solved already, as I type this 🙂)?
Glue or clamp. Beautiful neck!
Thank you. Cheers Dave
I think I may have a solution to the go-bar problem. Cheers Dave
