Drilled the eyes of the f-holes today, and then discovered I didn't have any reasonable saw blades to cut the stems. Not willing to wait, I decided to use a plunge knife, cutting inside the pencil lines. When I get closer to the final graduation, I hope to be able to drop these stems out, and clean up the edges with a knife (which is what I'd have to do with saw-cuts anyway).
If you're following this fiddle-making story on Flickr, but want a bit more detail, you can go to my blog at owyheemountainfiddleshop.blogspot.com/ .
