Getting started on a new top. I've got the slot cut and cleaned up with files
Now we're checking both ways to be sure we get the top on square to th sides of the body.
Boy this low temp silver solder (430 degree melting point) is MUCH easier to control with the adjustable flame on the propane torch
Now we finish up for the day with the top cut out with the bandsaw and roughly shaped up with a 36 grit belt
Boy, after the tribulations it seemed like this here throat durn near made itself, LOL
