I drilled a hole and then I took a coping saw and threaded the blade through the hole and connected it to the saw handle and then cut it out...

safe to say that you've reclaimed your manhood.

Poor BTal is still laboring in vain to do so...I'll pray for him

Nice job Brian, you show some really good build skills - It will be interesting to see how the neck holds up with that truss rod and how you fit 6 tuners on your headstock. I have a hard time keeping things "clean" with 4. The box looks good. Hope you post some more video.

It was posted on another topic in the forums and I thought it was a clever technique also... can't wait to try it.

Thanks for the drill press router tip...excellent idea. I will definitely use it in the future.

Oh... it's not even a cigar box... it was a box art supplies came in (I'm really a visual art teacher) and it is actually masonite... I'm just hoping it still sounds ok! ha.
