Guess I missed something about Beetle, don't see what was said. Oh well! I see his rant was deleted, bad case of sour grapes?

I guess what I'm trying to find out Is the relationship between lengthening/ shortening strings and skewining the bridge front to back!

no, i had eased it, I had said you should try building at 24 or 24 1/2 inch scale,

 a 25.5 scale will make your neck bow or the strings will be too tight for a cigar box guitar.

I try not to post tips or how to build here on this forum because if other people build a certain way, i dont want to seem like I am saying there way is not good or what not, i dont mean that, i was just saying what would work well from my experience,

I take in all information and advice, sort through it and make my decisions. I've watched videos, read everything I can, but most of all I ask the ones who have been there and done that. This particular build that I'm working on is "very personal" for me and I only have "one" shot at getting it right because of the materials can not be replaced. Well they could be but the significance wouldn't be there. Believe me I appreciate any and all advice and whole heartily thank everyone for their bits of wisdom.

On edit I didn't see your last post Dennis and I'm glad to see this isn't another Facebook where people act like ravaged dogs fighting over a misplaced statement!

after reading my own post it appears I have poor grammar too!

It doesn't look like that when I type them , they usually are so well written I fell like they are short literary masterpieces...instead it looks like a 10 year old writes my messages

LOL You aren't the only one who missed the short bus, if it weren't for autocorrect I'd be royally screwed! I can read writhing, I just can't write reading!
