Great cool video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and video. I hope you have a Very Blessed Week.

Thank you. Glad you found the video useful.

Great tip, thank you :-)

[@RaufSouza]

Medindo em milímetros, os americanos devem ficar confusos! hahaha
Mais um ótimo vídeo, Rob! Se possível, faça um com indicação de uso das diferentes colas para diferentes colagens: hide glue, fish glue, CA, titebonde ou similar... seria de grande ajuda pra quem tá começando. E ainda com as dicas de como fazer um trabalho de colagem sem sujeiras.
Abraços!

How do I make a radiyus desh?

[@OBrienGuitars]

I don't know. I have never made one.

Hey Robert. What is the height of the Braces in the end? I know that this can be diffrent from Top to top. I have some trouble to get the braces in the correct shape.
Thank You.
Hey Robert. Auf welche Höhe bringst du deine Beleistung. Es ist wahrscheinlich von Decke zu Decke unterschiedlich, aber was wäre denn ein Richtwert?
Ich habe noch ein Paar Probleme die Beleistung in die richtige Form zu bekommen.
Danke dir.

And i am talking abaut a classical Guitar Top.

[@OBrienGuitars]

You are correct. Each top is different and therefore the brace height varies accordingly. My braces vary from 3mm tall to about 5mm tall.

[@TheMenap]

Thank you for the quick rply.
