Thanks a lot!. I wouldn't be doing it if it weren't fun. Fortunately it is also educational, and will help with my career (I hope)

Very impressive project!
I am thinking about doing a Schilke style tuning bell, but I don't know if I should add even more mass in that area.

I checked the alignment in the down position and it all comes up nice and aligned. I haven't had a chance to get the boroscope out and check the up position yet.

Today I made a sheet brace for the front that matches the back one, only smaller. I will put a picture up later today. After play testing it, it was too dull sounding now which could be caused by a few things. Tomorrow if I have time I will try different placements of the brace, as well as making a smalled version of the brace to see if it was the mass of the brace that is causing it to be dull.
