@wolframmalukker Go go go! ( I love explorers!, At some point in the future I must build a companion for my 58 Flying V built 😉 )

Boo had to invoke the curse of the CNC machinist, too. "if you are going to make one, might as well make two, right?" Started with the rock maple board, tonight. it was almost perfectly flatsawn, so I...
