With a truss-to-truss system, the panels of curtain material move across the distance between one truss and the next. This distance leads to more compact bundles of fabric when the system is uncovered than are possible with gutter-to-gutter. There are three ways to configure the truss-to- truss system. First it can be flat at gutter height, minimizing heated area and making installation easy.

The Bi-Flex Truss Rod (used on most American and American Deluxe Series instruments) was designed by Fender in the early 1980's. Unlike most truss rods, which allow only convex neck adjustments (back bow), the Bi-Flex allows you to adjust for either a concave or convex bow. If you tighten the truss rod nut it bows the neck backwards. As you loosen the nut you will find the neck's neutral position (the truss rod is not in use).

A truss rod is a metal bar that runs the length of the runs the length of the neck of the guitar from roughly the nut to where the neck meets the guitar body. Its purpose is to both reinforce the neck against the pull of the strings and allow adjustment to the neck in such a way as to allow the strings to vibrate properly without hitting the frets.

A truss rod is needed on a wood necked bass to keep it stable from warping due to humidity, string tension, other weather related issues. clockwise = make gap between strings and neck less (straighter neck) *counterclockwise = make spacing between strings and neck greater (more bowed neck).

This is a tricky question. Ideally, your truss rod never needs to be readjusted unless your instrument has a flexible neck and you change to a different gauge of strings. In the real world, however, the truss rod is there to help control the curvature of the neck and may need readjusting for a variety of reasons. The fact is that some particular instruments have less stable necks than others.

Answer: Truss D&E has 12 standard libraries along with several proprietary libraries. The standard libraries include: Allied Tube & Conduit, Aluminum Tube, Aluminum Cee, Dale/Incor, Dietrich, Knudson Frame Maker, Knudson Big Cee, MBCI, SSMA Cold Formed Steel, SSMA Stainless 316A, SSMA Stainless 316 _ Hard, and Unimast.

The trusses are designed and engineered to be "site-built". The plans show you how to layout and assemble the trusses in a simple "jig" that you build on the loft floor. Clearly detailed, with easy-to-read step-by-step instructions....we've got it down to a science!!

No. It's actually a little easier because you can stand right up in the second floor to install insulation....and, depending on the size barn you're building, you can get up to R-90 between the trusses!

Octetruss, to use the trademarked moniker, is an OCtahedral and TETrahedral complementary grid implemented in such a way as to form a structural truss. A truss is an engineering mechanism for dispersing loads across a relatively long span, to enable coverage of large, primarily horizontal areas with a minimum of underpinning supports (posts). Most trusses appear to be arranged to act independently of one another, whereas the members of an Octetruss are all part of the whole unit.

Trussing with kitchen twine is done to keep the legs of the turkey from splaying during cooking. We recommend an easier approach. Just tuck the ankles of the bird into the pocket of skin at the tail end. Tuck the wings behind the bird. Most of the time, we roast unstuffed birds. Cooking the stuffing in a stuffed bird to a safe internal temperature takes quite a while and usually results in overcooked meat.

Zanfel works safely into the dermal layer of your skin, binds to the urushiol oil, and, when rinsed off, takes the oil with it down the drain.
