<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. Nope. My question was =
how to
temporarily secure a loose soundboard to the rim so that any =
downbearing
work would be accurate!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The question was: "specifically, what =
methods of
clamping the soundboard to the rim are used by those who plane their =
bridges for
appropriate downbearing prior to gluing the soundboard to the =
rim."</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hmmm? It sounds to me like your =
question should
have been: "How do you set the "Plate Elevation" with a loose board?" =
Right?
Setting Elavation and Downbearing are two separate things, IMO. What I =
responded to was the "downbearing", which can be set all kinds of =
ways, AFTER
the proper plate elevation has been determined. Especially with a new
board.</FONT></DIV>
