Here is where I am at to date. The inside chambers were cut by hand using the small jigsaw but I got the use of a band saw to do the outside. I have started the sanding process with various drum sanders mounted in a drill press and also an orbital/reciprocating finishing sander. I stood the new body up in front of the prototype to show how a big visual change was brought about by relatively minor design changes. I doubt you will see it in these photos, but later on when I get to the finishing, you will see how swirl in the grain particularly at the sides just fell in the coolest places! Got lucky there, for sure... Actually, I have just noticed that the pine prototype did essentially the very same thing!! What are the chances of THAT happening?!! That's awesome! Next time I get the use of the camera, I will have to get a shot of that... Anyway, here are the photos... Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
