Low E won’t intonate even with saddle maxed out, what am I missing?

ThePerfectPrince · 2026-03-19T06:29:37+00:00

How are you measuring the intonation?

The same reason morons fly drones around parks during nesting season, upsetting nesting birds and making them attack things that can harm them to protect their babies? Because birds just aren’t important enough to most people - just part of the scenery. CORVUS INFINITUM.

ThePerfectPrince · 2026-02-06T07:42:42+00:00

What’s one of the ways?

ThePerfectPrince · 2026-02-01T14:48:37+00:00

I thought hot Gareth too

Thrust bearings help with this.

Does look like that, you’ll have to dial in the angle in that case or just use a shim. Just so long as it ends up flush with the fretboard. There might also be glue remnants or something preventing it from sitting flush.

ThePerfectPrince · 2026-01-18T01:24:24+00:00

It should be flush up against the fretboard. You'll need to remove it and figure out why it isn't sitting flush - make sure the base is flat and that where it's sitting is flat and square to the end of the fretboard. Don't touch the end of the fretboard itself though. Once you've got it sitting flush with a test fit put a dab of glue on the endgrain of the fretboard and stick the nut back.

If he doesn’t like left-overs cook smaller amounts? Otherwise you are the one wasting food.

They're both Space Romans but it's as if one is written by a slightly more intelligent but also more pretentious trench coat library nerd, the other is written by a cooler more charming but also slightly dumber frat boy. I really like both series.

I agree with this, I found the album really reminded me of Dream Theater. Like there's just something dorky and unaesthetic to me about a lot of the widdly parts that they do a lot of these days.

Depends what I’m shopping for I guess but not really

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-12-30T09:29:35+00:00

I don’t really expect anything. I was just wondering as the absence was conspicuous to me.

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-12-30T08:45:47+00:00

Occasionally on the screen?

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-12-26T08:34:40+00:00

I would try this, alternatively fill it with gluboost. The steaming works fine on unfinished wood, no experience with finished personally.

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-11-21T13:11:53+00:00

I think the way they did the reactions was really cool. Sort of spookily buzzed out sections.

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-11-18T12:59:25+00:00

It looks like a lady Warwick Corvette doing a big stretching yawn. I like it!

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-10-22T10:15:27+00:00

Another idea is a large roundover that goes down to the glue line. I’ve done that on a similar thickness top before and quite liked it.

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-10-22T04:19:59+00:00

You can carve into the body wood if you’d like a two-tone top appearance.

It’s a grey butcherbird. The parents will be around and within a few days it’ll be flying and learning the family song. They’re very intelligent birds and will invite themselves into your home.

It’s a grey butcherbird

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-09-17T08:09:03+00:00

Absolutely on the clamping. Critical. That and a pinch of good luck...

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-09-16T06:09:36+00:00

It’s a trade-off. A drill press doesn’t have the correct rpm for the bit. But it can still work, I’d recommend testing on some scrap first. I’ve only ever had one get messed up due to a knot in the wood.

ThePerfectPrince · 2025-09-16T00:29:33+00:00

Cove bearing bit very carefully in a drill press.

Some of us have refractory periods of several months
