Hi, can you tell me how to intonate a National 12 fret resonator

[@frederickcee2901]

The camera angle is not centered which makes it difficult to tell how much off center the neck (bracing) going through the body to the bottom where the 'claw'-that secures the strings. Is that wood bracing secured flush w the metal body, or is there a gap ? Do you know anyone well versed in this issue. Its my #1 issue w the metal bodied beauties.
