Soundhole cutter

Inspired by Ken Timms' marvellous creation, and a bloke with a blog called The Village Woodworker, I finally made a decent soundhole cutter. The blade is from an old Taylor chisel, with the stamped acorn. It's easy to choose radius, the piece in the middle with the pin slides, guided by the dowel going through the piece at the end.

It would work for rosettes as well, but I've never felt the urge to make one. Perhaps now with this tool I'll try.

    This is awesome. looks like it would be great for small radii holes as well.

    Yep, and if I need a bigger diameter I can just move the pin to another hole in the sliding part.

    That's a great idea, I'll make sure I make a video of it in action. Most likely after Hollesley though, flying to England tomorrow.
