[voigts]

Good to see you got lucky on the front voigts. It turned out real nice.

Are you still going to redo the top?

Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks. I'm first going to see how much sanding/filing/work I think it is going to take once I finish the front. Obviously I don't want to recut it if I can reasonably work it out otherwise.

That looks great. The contour idea is nifty.

Thank you Sharon. I wanted to try to get away from the rectangular boxy look that is just all too easy to end up with. I really think the front contour will set it apart and add a lot of style.

Another great update, Gary!
You're a wizard with your belt sander.
Superb execution in getting the panel so flat and evenly sanded.

Thanks Rick. It really isn't very hard at all. The sanding wasn't anything that anyone else can't do. It just takes an even hand and a bit of patience. I'm really very pleased with the curve. Of course it isn't perfect, but it is pretty doggone close-close enough that even running your hand over it, you barely feel any unevenness in the curve.

I've spent about 5 1/2 hours total so far filing away, and hopefully should get the front licked in another couple of hours. Its really tedious work.
