Damper Holder for Grand Dampers

[Michael Magness]

If you don't have a junk action lying around or don't want to take the time
to remove all of the eyes.

Use a simple piece of 1"X3" or 4" about 40" long with a double wide slot cut
down the middle w/ a skill saw or table saw leaving the ends closed about 2
inches in on each end. Make 2 "legs" for it about 7 to 8" long  from the
same material and secure them to each end with glue and screws. If you want
to get fancy you can add a piece of 3/4"X1/4" material next to the slot for
the bass end, standing on the 1/4" edge, so your wedge dampers are supported
above the flat surface. Clean, simple, done in about a half hour.
