Mark's Beginning guitar construction on a shoestring...blog post #2

So the rosette came out well, and I turned my attention to cutting out the circular trough for it to sit in. I don't have a decent drill press or a 'fly-cutter' whatever....What I do have is a drywall circle cutter that I modified and used to successfully cut the channel. There's room for improvement, but it sufficiently filled the gap for now. The mistake I made, however, was using epoxy to glue the rosette into the channel. I should've used AR. The epoxy bled into the grain of the spruce and left a 5 oclock shadow around the rosette in some places. But it's not so bad as to disqualify the top for my first guitar. Onward!
