Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

A good neck will have a compound radius, and given my 'newness', I decided to look up the math for figuring out what the radius is at a specific point, disregarding physical measurement. It's fairly straightforward, but well explained at Stu Mac's site.

They also explain why the fretboard should be a compound radius, but that's pretty obvious from the start. Sadly, many companies don't bother to compound radius their fretboards.

Ah well... I just wanted to check the math (closer to actually making sure the math in my head was correct, and it was) and figured I'd share the link with you. (Though, I expect you're either still in bed or working.)

That is some interesting stuff, and damn that tax bill would kill me

I have a small logging operation on my property. They do selective cutting (often cutting what the mills are taking) and do some cutting for a couple of specialty mills. It pays enough to keep like seven people employed and the profits almost always cover my property taxes for my three biggest bits of property here in Maine.

That's not all my property taxes - the rest of the property is in managed trusts so I have nothing to do with the tax paying. I see it in itemized yearly accounting, though I could see it more often. I don't bother. I trust my lawyer, I trust my accountant, and I trust my finance manager.

Well, I don't necessarily trust them - but they all kinda work as checks and balances against each other. If one of them were to try to fuck me over, one of the other two would notice in short order. Individually, I mostly trust them to do the right thing. None of them are dumb enough to risk prison time.

I hope that those folks are honest and they don't collude against you!
