I read the Somogyi books in where he makes a big issue of the floppyness of the usual bridgewings.
Perfect example of questionable science and/or lack there of and the gamesmanship and one-upsmanship of marketing.--- $.02

You are probably right Ken. Some like big try-outs, like Dave and Ken H. I try more simple little things. Suits a simple little man like me. OK, maybe not that little. :-)

Bridge is ready, after some smoothning and getting the curves a little better.
I made the wings a little lower as they were a bit on the lumpy side.
Verdict: Nice tight bridge of a clean 23 grams. I'm happy.

Ya that is fine looking bridge, amazing when you consider that you had one hand tied behind your back while making it. (Also be extra careful when stage diving herman you might break more than just your headstock).

Thanks boys.
Still waiting for the right humidity to spray. Well autumn is never very dry here. Soon the time comes for putting the heater on and I'll be fine.
