Shell from the "Jinx". Thanks jinks.
Tom shell cut down on table saw.
All predrilled holes (not good again) re-squared and straightened.
Drill, dremel and mostly file to elongate holes onto the grid.
2 holes filled with monomer resin.
6 lug with S-hoops. Bottom hoop (13) drilled for strings.
The S-hoops work great. Tuned up like a 10 lug 14.
42 strand wires with wide/deep snare beds.
Great sound.
Thanks again Jerry for all the tips.
