OK, Hesh that is a great looking bridge. And it's going to look great on the L-00.

Very well done and thanks for the tutorial. Good job.

By the way, what is your slot width
1/8??? 3/16ths???

VERY nice, Hesh! But the real question is--does it pass the "Lacey" test?

I'm trying to come up with a design from scratch right now--if I could only give myself some useful advice....

Loved that tutorial and all your bridges brother Hesh!

The bridge slotting jig you used, did you build it yourself? WOW, looks like a dream to use, got any plans to share on that bro?

I like how you use screws to hold the bridge when its under the slotting jig.
I have been using double stick tape...

Great tutorial Hesh, and I think the shape will suit the L-OO perfectly.

I like system of holding the blank down for the slot routing using screws. I also do this having first seen it over on Mario's site, though he cuts the slot on the table router, while I use my DeWalt laminate trimmer.

What do you use for the countersink on the pinholes? It's something that I have never been happy with and I'm thinking of finishing them with a spherical stone in the drill.

I love your stealth bridge, I'm going to shamelessly copy that.

Thanks Hesh, I'll have to hunt round the stores over here (we don't have Woodcraft) and see if I can find something similar. I just tried one of my stones and I have to say it did a great job though, leaving an almost polished surface.

That's a very nice bridge Hesh.   
Do you cut your slot in one pass or make a few passes?
Which bit do you use?
Great tutorial! DaveAndy39048.4188425926

Hesh, that looks fantastic my friend! I picked up a few very good trick in that tutorial! Thanks!

I was working it the other way around. I'll start by drilling the holes FIRST now... Now why didn't I think of that on my own... Sheesh!

I really dig that new bridge. It's a perfect mix of traditional and your 'stealth' design... Very very sexy...(the bridge, not you! )

Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see that baby all done up, better yet, I can't wait to try her!!!
