Manifesting John Kinnaird...
I am humming that E...
He seems a bit busy now. I can chime in on the laminated LININGS. Someone set me straight about "kerfing" on one of the build threads JK did for me. Seems a bit pedantic but accuracy is our goal when communicating!
The solid linings add MUCH more rigidity to the sides. That allows a more lively top. Think vintage drums. Thin sides with solid rims. It seems to work! Something in John's pixie dust sure does!!!
On my last build he did double sides which are so rigid already he used reverse kerfed linings. Perhaps due to the weight reduction of the BIG bevels.
John, when you do show up here feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
Cheers
Paul
