Best way to build a soundboard

[Larry J Hofer]

I have been reading this list for a long time now and have posted very
little, but had to share this. I read of all the ways to build a great
soundboard, but it appears that THE best way was thought of well over 100
years ago back in 1867.
Check this out. This could change the way soundboards are built .......or
at least the way our shops smell.
