Harp No. 7: Rough Cuts

Before I take the wood to the band saw I start by making rough cuts with a circular saw. First I used my fine-tooth blade to cut a piece for the box back out of 3/8 inch plywood. This is my daughter helping me.

Once the pieces are rough cut, I can take them to the band saw and do the precision work.
