Ooops - was that changing the topic/hi-jacking??
Miscellaneous topics are designed for hi-jacking! :-D
Appreciate everyone's input - the button that I made above has a shallow throat as it is from a Straplock system that connects to a metal 'receiver' that is physically connected to a strap. (see attachment) It was meant as a practice to see if my machining ability was up for the task. I am relatively new to machining and often times doubt my ability...
The intent is to make the wider head 1970's buttons (thank YOU - Bill for the dimensions) and was toying with the idea of 'slight' extension for the upper bout button. Somewhere I recall seeing a Distillate that had a rather long (4"?) extension to the upper bout strap pin to help reduce neck dive.
I have no intention to go to that length (pun intended) but perhaps an extra inch just to see what that would look/ feel like.
We are rather busy right now (and down one man because he is 'high-risk' and wisely staying at home right now). I prefer NOT multi-tasking while at work, so waiting for a lull before I really dive into this.
Thanks for viewing, stay tuned and wash your hands!
