[quote="wa2crk"]Hi Guys]

Doh.. Mine does that.. When I loosen the headstock lock I hear a loud 'Pop!'.. I'll have to look into the fix.. Thx!

Of course my headstock does not slide with 1 finger pressure..

Don't forget a ventilation system if you're planning on using a BBQ in there -- otherwise the smoke will get you..

Gary.. You might try Eisenbrand hardwoods in Torrance.. They're near where I live but I've never bought anything from them -- they're very close to the Torrance Rockler too (<.5 mile away): http://www.eisenbrandhardwoods.com/ Eisenbrand Inc., Exotic Hardwoods 4100 Spencer Street Torrance, CA 90503 U...

Hmm.. I google'd Pacific Plywood but didn't get any obvious match.. Is it Pacific Western Wood Products on Worth Street you're referring to? Just curious..

You may be able to use Ed's (Reible's) jig he covers here for this purpose.. At least I think it could be used..

See herefor more details...

Sounds like a challenge all right! I think it might be helpful to use one of those stop-motion camera's like they use on the MythBusters show to see where exactly the dust is being emitted from.. Anyone got one?
