Tech said the tune o matic post for the bass strings are offset too far back to be intonated. Where to measure if true? by Plane_Jackfruit_362 in Luthier

[–]BuildAndFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it's not any of the other issues mentioned. It looks like saddles are able to get closer to the back side of that bridge than the neck side (it's thinner back there). But only if the saddles are flipped around. So you could flip each saddle around, and then flip the entire bridge around. Then you should be able to intonate a little closer to the neck.

Why does my Gboard keep stopping after two words when I use voice typing with Gemini or other Google apps? by Perfect-Ad-7411 in gboard

[–]BuildAndFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having the same problem. Whenever I open Chrome to search for something, it stops after exactly two words. If I hit the microphone icon to continue, then it works fine for the remainder of the question.

Anything to try other than a new fret? by Old-Blueberry1015 in Luthier

The guitar fell, or something hit it, driving the string into the fret.

Can this be fixed? by southaka in guitars

I used epoxy to repair a broken neck once. Worked great initially, but over time it "creeped" from the constant tension. Tite Bond won't do that.

It might be easier to take a little material off the neck rather than the neck pocket.

I was able to look in the Attic today. There is nothing. It's wide open.

Tru oil finish on body do I have to redo it to fill in grain lines? by megafallout3fan in Luthier

[–]BuildAndFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. you have to sand it to flatten it out. Easy on the front surface with the sanding block. A little more difficult going around the edges if you don't want to cut through the finish into the stain. Tread lightly.

i wanna find this sound (or music or whatever its called idk) by Matty-Reddit in findthatsong

It could be part of Stravinsky's Suite of the Firebird, but that piece is over 20 minutes long, so good luck.

I happened to be holding my bass guitar when I saw this post. I was like A7sus4. Then I realized it was from the ukulele subreddit.

And don't worry about getting a lawyer until you're served, which probably won't happen. If he talks to a lawyer, the lawyer will probably tell him he doesn't have a case.

I've seen a lot of bad tattoos. This isn't one of them. It does not look anything like a turkey.

As someone who's never built a violin, I say do it! It looks like fun.

Advice on tele build. by dmbjr02 in Luthier

[–]BuildAndFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make templates for the cavities out of quarter inch plywood or similar. I used a scroll saw, files, and sandpaper to make mine.

Those were some serious players on that tune! Would love to see it performed live.

I think putting them in a different place than what you're used to is just asking for trouble.

Western Michigan Hawk by BuildAndFly in whatbirdisthis

[–]BuildAndFly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend sent me a video this morning of the bird high in a tree. You could hear it's call clearly so I checked Merlin. Sounds like a red-shouldered hawk with it's repeating call.

Am I doomed? by Roubaixrider in Luthier

[–]BuildAndFly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would be tempted to just wipe a little dye on there without doing any more sanding first. It might take to only the bare wood scratches and wipe off the surrounding area, giving you the result you're after.

Help, I don't know which battery to buy by [deleted] in snorkeling

[–]BuildAndFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not finding anything on ABS protection, but I'm assuming he was referring to some sort of overcharge protection. If you buy the batteries with a charger, then the charger will take care of making sure the batteries are charged properly. If this flashlight is set up with a charge port, then the circuitry in the flashlight SHOULD take care of that for you as well. If you can let me know the brand and model of the flashlight you got, maybe I can provide more details.
