: I though of that and it's the only decent idea I have at the
: moment. Trimming the box flush with the where the skin will be
: and getting the recess right is going to be a bit fussy. I am a
: good woodworker and can do this but I was hoping for something
: simpler. Something less skilled people could duplicate. Maybe if
: I just go ahead and build it I will come up with a simpler idea
: or someone will see it and see a better way.
