[QUOTE=SimonF] I incorporate a cross-grain soundhole support - which basically makes
the thickness around the soundhole twice (~0.225") what it would be
normally. I then use a 1/16" roundover bit and finish it up with some
sandpaper. A 1/8" bit will work on the first side but not on the second
side - because you will have a curved surface where there needs to be a
flat surface.
The magnets work great - but get the strongest ones you can. I got quite
a few really strong ceramic magnets at ACE for under $10.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, Simon. I'll try some practice soundholes (gotta get the table built first, though!).
I bet rare-earth magnets would work well, too, for side-brace gluing.
