nice clamps Reuben. Suggest you put a bolt through the glued-up neck of the clamp, for longevity, otherwise they'll pull apart one day when you tighten up and need it most!

Question Bassbar

Is that Bass Bar in with the grain up and down or at an angle to the grain? I can't tell from these pictures. Also, how thick is that Bar?

May be u can see the bass bar grain better in this picture:



The bass bar grain is parallel to the top grain,

I have to shave the hump a little to do the edges, anyways it will be replace by a new bar.

I will tell you later how tick it is
