Hi Mark,

What is the size of the drill you used for your head slots?

Thanks,

Xavier

Hey sorry Xavier I havnt been on in awhile, i think it was 5/8 because its the only router bit I had or could find with the straight shape I needed . But I'll double check for you.

Mark, I've enjoyed following the progress of this beautiful build from those first sketches, but puzzled that we have never seen the finished article. Can you bring us up to date, please? And how about a sound clip too?
