Best video out there on this topic! This level of detail is something lacking with so other previous “luthier” videos on TH-cam. This amount of detail is super helpful! 🙏
First time I’ve seen anything from your channel and I immediately subscribed. The clarity with which you speak about so many important details that often go overlooked is remarkable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Yep, great tips! I struggled with a K&K recently, but that extra long dowel bit you have there is the game changer. I think I have some wooden ones around the shop.
been installing endpin jacks for decades and it's simple enough... nope! this is a revelation! i've always adjusted so the nut just barely _didn't_ bottom out against metal on the principle that it got me full clamping pressure on the wood, but now that you explain it of _course_ that's not as reliable as full-on metal against metal thread-tightening and yes, i see those dished-in washers all the time extrapolating out, what about the star washer inside? i've always assumed it was meant to grip the wood directly, but should it in fact be between the internal nut and the internal flat washer?
The star washer is designed to be placed between the nut and washer to lock the nut. To be honest though, so long as it’s tight I doubt that part would prove to have much consequence either way in this application.

1/4” long bit? Excellent trick. I used a thin flexible wire. This is a much better idea. Thanks.
Very well worded, thank you

Hard to follow the units in 32nds and 1000ths. I don't know how y'all muricans do it
