Well said!

Having the "tackle" to take on something this good is one thing, but I'll just stand up here and clearly declare that I do know my limitations... 

"REFINS-R-US", and the odd bit of tweaking - no matter how much I have appalled some folks around here... 

[Barklessdog]

if I may say so, is balls!

very true, a level of wood working competance is involved as well as having all those cool tools you have collected, then learning how to use them- I just used the hand held belt sander!

A hand held belt sander!?!  I never thought of that, I'll have to get one!     Actually, it really does help to have a good stable of tools when one isn't all that handy with chisels and similar tools.  I couldn't do what I do without my band saw, jointer, planer and drum sander.  It would take me forever without them!

my motto is measure twice, cut once, buy more wood. really though, i'm always impressed with the quality of your work and enjoy watching your projects unfold.

Doc... I have an addictive personality, which is disfunctional at the best of times, not to mention tangential... remember what I did to my RD...! not to mention a soupcon of "lack of time"...

At least she still works... albeit with a little help from my friends... 

Keep up the good work...!

Did I say time...? oops... dead again...

my motto is measure twice, cut once, buy more wood.

My dad - an engineer in buildings & structures and a long-time woodworker - had a different phrase that I'll always remember:

"No matter how many times you cut it off, it's still too short."

Your Dad was a wise woodworker!

And I have proven the accuracy of his statement by experiential research.

Usually to the detriment of my bank account.

I could discuss the horrors of shaving the fin on my RD, if you wish to be offended...

Great project, Doc!
I can't wait to see the overall look with the double cat's eyes and the paddle headstock.

I think it's gonna be nice.

This just works for me... I just had a problem with the "hard" edge...


a regular fine tooth saw, a "workmate", a steady hand, and a lot of perspiration, + a little "bricking"...

Already discussed but whatever...

I am sworn to NOT modify to excess any further...
