try it before you give up, I think you will find it a popular solution with many luthiers. The pressure possible from a gobar is just right for the work, the space available is appropriate, and every gobar is a deep-throat clamp with no reach problems. The only faster setup would involve pneumatic plungers, which means a low ceiling to attach them to and the risk there is an inability to see when things have gone wrong inside (a small rib mispositioned tipping over for example). > When I have it done, I shall share the > photographs. they would be welcome by us, but not sure the list will forward attachments. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
