Thanks, guys. It was loads of fun build. My kid and I had some great time in the garage learning how to do this together as we built our first two. The second is soon to be finished. Tons of stuff to learn in the process.

Nice looking CBG - the f holes look real good on the box. Thanks for sharing your technique.

Easy for you to say!  :0)    Great build.     Actually, I do get what you are saying!

Thanks, Uncle John. Just use two registration lines: 1 going down the center line of your box, the other at 90 degrees to it and at the mid-point of your sound hole placement. If you also position similar lines on your pattern, you can place the pattern wherever it it looks good to you, note the measurements, then do the mirror image of them one the other side of centerline. Voila!

For this one, I made a pattern digitally with both holes, but used the box's centerline to get is positioned.

Excellent:  Lines, color continuity, f holes.   Dang, how come so many of you can make 2 good and properly placed f holes AND I CAN"T!
