LOL ,come on Ken that was a joke .... OF COURSE THAT IS GOOD ADVICE TO DO IT RIGHT FIRST TIME

I am making a mould for the top now

Keep in mind that a thick top table will not press. You may have to thin it considerably, press it out, then patch the result. Quite an undertaking!

Oh, these are the jokes?.. Geeze, no one told me.. lol

Have fun with your Frenchie.. My Mougenot is done and I am meeting Jeff with the bass at Arnold's place for Lunch with the gang and maybe picking up my Claudot as well. Also, I am bringing my Jacquet up in the car. Wow, French toast for breakfast, gotta be.. Arnold, any French places for lunch in your area since it's mainly a non-Italian day?

Oh, not really. Bringing up the Sirletto for a seam gluing and looking over my Italian cornerless while my buddy Kevin gets an adjustment on her English Hawkes and picks up his tweaked Bollbach Lion bass. So.. it's international day.. yeahhh. Hey, French food never filled me up anyway..
