Re: Titebond liquid hide glue
I made my first guitar with it some 20 years ago.
Five years ago, the back braces started to unglue. I had to reglue with real HHG.
Do not use it for structural joints. Maybe binding, even there I am not sure I would use it again.

If you read Alan reply:Huh... so bigger sound hole equals more bass, is that what I'm reading?
Higher pitch means less bass more treblethe larger the sound hole the higher the 'air' pitch will be

Re: high neck relief in an old Regal Parlor guitar
If you straighten the neck by planning the surface ( up to 1/16 or more), you will end up with a narrower neck, You have to consider that and possibly add a layer between the neck and fretboard.

Re: Downdraft table - suction?
Sometime, these fans are loud because the air passage is restricted. When running with a lot of "air room" they calm down. This is assuming this is not a bearing problem or vibration problem.

Re: Downdraft table - suction?
A fan from an old kitchen range hood or a bathroom fan would be relatively quiet and move a lot of air.

Please consider that linseed oil will turn quite yellow over time. Just like 'old oil paint' was doing in the past!

Re: Did I plane my sides too thin?
I would say that is too thin (1.5 mm) as you will also do final sanding once the box is assembled.
You could possibly laminate with some other wood, but still you will need to be careful in your sanding to not go through.
