Hey everyone,
![Saddle template](https://zamit.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20150711_Saddle_Gauge-300x188.jpg)
got some progress and some pictures!
I started constructing the smokebox saddle. Since I own neither a lathe nor a milling machine I’m trying to make virtues out of necessities and hone my manual skills. The first step was to make a gauge for the saddle’s curves, so I could construct two symmetrical and identical parts.
