I could very carefully plane by hand the panel, I could very slowly sand by hand the panel, and I could (and did) visit Lorne to use his electric plane to remove a good 1/16" off the base of my box. I resisted his offer to 'see what happens' by putting it through his thicknesser.
It took moments to remove the excess material, and I shall go even thinner (by hand with sand paper) once i have cut my sound holes in.
So, slowly I make progress.
Hours spent so far on making this? - about 5 which includes making saw jigs and cleaning glue bottles (but not driving to Lornes and Steve-the-grommet man and researching styles on the internet - thats probably another 5 hours)
