My score today at a yard sale, $3 each. These are all nice wood. He has more he's bringing out tomorrow, if I have sense I will buy them all. These are so nice I'm thinking about mounting the actions on the bottom, don't want to cut into the pretty tops. Whaddya think?

All four are winners.  I like to use the bottoms some times.  It is hard to cut into those tops.  I had a nice Brick House that I ruined cutting for a mag pup.

Ah now I get it, thanks Bones, I've seen your work, very nice, didn't know it was called that.  I have everything but a small table scroll saw.  So I picked up the remainder 17 boxes this morning, I'll post them later.

here’s a pic I use my scroll saw to cut out the piece I desired to use and glue it to a post of timber 1/4” shorter than depth of box glue on the sound hole to the top of timber post and Bobs your uncle walla dropped sound hole I even set up a light behind the soundhole to give it a cool event there’s a video on my page about the light version . Hope this helps .

If you have a picture of dropped sound holes, can you show it here?

Comment by Don Craig on June 16, 2018 at 12:09am

Dropped sound holes?  You mean on the bottom side?

Comment by Dave Lynas on June 15, 2018 at 10:44pm

Bones dropped sound holes would look good too. Especially the Brick House and  the 18.

Dropped sound hole looks effective ....... 

Comment by Don Craig on June 15, 2018 at 12:27pm

Good idea, Dave, thanks.

Comment by Dave Lynas on June 15, 2018 at 11:04am

Tops up. Wicked Buckers and side sound holes.

Thanks guys, I'll take your advice and keep the art work on top where it belongs, will try not to butcher it up too bad.  The art is a main attraction to show off.  I'll be back there first thing tomorrow to see what else he has.
