Well Guys this is my plan:
1) For laying of the cleats: They are spaced about 2" in between, no more than 2 1/4", PS I didn't care for the proper grain orientation of the cleats at this point is only for placement.
2) Also this is where I am planning the sound post patch to go... I am not doing the SP patch just yet, I need to make a couples tools for this job and then I am planing to practice this procedure in a piece of scrap wood first...
I am seeking for advise before I and clue this up... I can really use a series of steps sequence or methodology, and don't forget tips...
The tool, it isnt fancy but it will get the job done...!!!
