Here Ryan gets his exercise for the day. I remember seeing the action shot when he was doing this to Tom's OM. The top linings are ground to radius. As you can see Ryan has taken a break to dry the sweat from his forehead.
Then we have some progress on the rosette. The resourcefulness of these guys just astounds me. In this photo Steve creates a template from one of the torch elements and lays them on top of the Maple blanks as a guide for cutting.
To create the dots, Steve doesn't have a cutter small enough so he made one from a piece of silver tubing, filing several notches in the end to cut into the wood. After drilling in, the band saw is used to release the dots from the block. Genius!
Here are the pieces placed on the Ebony ring for ideas. Now comes another few rounds of design discussion. You just never know what these guys may come up with. Stay tuned!
