Well I've started and now have all the components for my acompaniament pipes cut out, and one pipe mostly glued up but have already run into some problems that i'm sure someone will have the answers for.
Try as I might I cannot see anywhere in the plans, DVD or writen text the distance apart to put the two bottom shelves. In the DVD John just states that he has marked the position on his jig but I can't seem to find a reference to how far apart these should be, and is this dimension critical.
Secondly, I am wondering about the inner lip that sits on top of the top shelf- I am assuming a hard close grained timber such as ramin or hard maple would be be suitable, but again there does not seem to be a dimension. I can see that the width would be critical, but what about the depth- in drawing #6 in the plans it appears a little under half the internal depth of the pipe.
I have spent several hours looking through posts on here and reading the instructions etc but can't find these answers. (but the upside was that I did find many useful tips and much information that will I hope make things so much easier down the track, so it was not wasted time- in fact I think everybody should be encouraged to take a few days and read all the posts before starting, as a lot of things suddenly become a lot clearer for me today)
Best wishes to all
Ian
