Sanding plates, marking F-holes
Sand top until smooth and even. Yellow tint should be removed evenly. Use "Mouse" to cover larger
areas quickly and evenly.
Mark lateral line 196 mm from top (neck) end.
Use F-hole template to mark F-holes. Align inner point on lateral centreline and
inner edge on longitudinal centreline. Reverse and mark other side to match.
Mark
centres of holes at both ends of F-holes.
Use appropriate drill bits (~6 & 8.5
mm) to drill holes. Use sheet-metal drills (brad-point) with points.
Continue on
bottom with planes and chisels until close to templates. Smooth out with scrapers.
