- Instead of using the barber, try using a dremel with a thin-cut blade and grind off the barbs (leaving a nice rough surface but be careful not to reduce the thickness of the tang). Once the barbs are gone, cut 3 small slots ( 1/4 in) in the tang one close to each end and another in the center.
- A Dremel with an extension and a cutting disc (diamond is 0.02', thin cut is 0.032'). The table top is 36' x 24'. The two slots are 13' long, and are the same width as the MDF is thick - in my case 16mm. The bridge between the slots is also 16mm. Below the table is the rocker.

Couldn't have said it better myself, I don't mind a bit of flash and live in a profession that talks itself up and likes to shock and awe the punters (not politics - just rock and roll). This however is our site to which both gentlemen and lady luthiers and enthusiasts contribute and as far as I'm concerned bad manners and vulgar displays are best used on the pimply faced angry adolescent forums that I don't visit.
Check your junk at the door thanks. Rusty.
