[@NotJustSawdust]

Great! Question: MDF is the best option? (My first experiment ended up a disaster using particleboard) ... following all the steps!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Hey Gerrit, MDF is a great option and cheaper than plywood, but a good plywood would be a very good option. I wouldn't use particle board anymore, I've tried it before!

[@tippie53]

MDF is terrible material plywood is much more stable

[@mikezeke7041]

nice. I'm almost feeling inspired. maybe a cigar box fiddle. ..

[@HovingtonInstruments]

That would be interesting to see... And probably hard to make..

[@louis-pierrecharbonneau6333]

Do you have thoughts on using turn buckles vs clamps?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

I use both, when making a more complex shape I prefer using clamps, as you can see in this video ua-cam.com/video/98To4hfqEik/v-deo.html
But for the majority of them I find turn buckle to work great, and if needed I can always add clamps too.

[@1999colebug]

Thanks for the name! TURNBUCKLE. omg, i've looked all over

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Your welcome 😊
