Tony- I drill a 1/8" hole for the SAC/TSH... mark the shape with a machinist's square- then work it open with a square diamond file. Rough in the bevel also at...
A little addendum to what I wrote about cutting slots for the soundhole prior to glue-up of the halves... another advantage of this is, that when gluing up, I...
