Soundboard Bracing (Ep 16 - Acoustic Guitar Build)

Thank you Work Sharp Tools for sponsoring this series! https://www.worksharptools.com/ My favorite stuff on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/aguydoing... Essential Sharpener for guitar building: http://amzn.to/2xS9VMS In this video I show the process for attaching and carving the soundboard bracing. This is often described as one of the most important factors for influencing the tone of the guitar. As I said in the video - I haven't mastered this process yet. Here are some links to more information about it... Eric Schafer's video (LONG) -    • Soundboard Bracing   Really good article about it - bourgeoisguitars.net/whybourgeois/still-voicingstill-dreaming/ O'Brien's video -    • O'Brien Guitars - Luthier Tips du Jour- To...   This guy knows a lot (I have not watched this whole video) -    • Making Guitars with a Physics Mind | Curti...   Dana Bourgeois demonstration -    • Guitar Top Voicing Demonstration by Dana B...   It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the information out there! I try to simplify as much as I can. I also google specific questions I have a lot and usually there's a conversation on one of the forums already about it. Good luck!
