A while back I came across a video on youtube (I think) where a CBG'r was using a #6 countersink to drill holes for tuners. I could have sworn I saved/bookmarked that video but now can't find it.Does anyone happen to know the video of which I speak and can point me to it?ThanksBill WSee More

Rooting through my scaps, I've come across some that I'd like to cut and use for a fret-board. They are thick enough (or will be as soon as I resaw them), but they aren't long enough.
