It has been dubbed "Stumptown" after the historical name of the town I live in here in Montana.

Looking good. What kind of trim are you using on the hinges?

Keep up the good work.

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Ezbie,
Where did you order your fenders from? I am thinking about a pair from R.W. Johnson. Anyone have any comments on their service or fenders?

The hinge is a Monroe Living Hinge (Plastic Piano Hinge) http://www.monroeengineering.com/hinges/living-hinge-plastic-piano-hinge.htmo ordered from http://www.mcmaster.com

It has been trimed with oak counter top trim with a 3/8 inch x 1/8 groove routered on the bottom an a 1/8 round-over on the top. I did the same thing for the toung box but did make a little mistake here. I cut the hinge 1/2 to short because I forgot to account for the 1/4 trim on the box but should be ok though. I will know better next time!!!!

Any more questions ask away... Love answering them!!!
