Hey,
I've decided I want to start building out sticks from premade wooden boxes - seems like a good way to get results fast (I may also make one from a metal suitcase because why not?). I'm thinking Happ parts in an UMK3 layout because I already have a nice japanese stick I built out of a venom case and if I want to sell these down the road it seems like a good niche to be in. I have a couple of questions, though:
1) What's the best way to mount a stick to wood? I've seen a youtube video where a guy used metal threads he fit into the wood, but that looks a little tricky. Is there some kind of bracket I could screw directly to the wood? Carpentry isn't my forte, but I'd like to learn.
2) How thick is too thick to mount Happ parts in wood?
Hopefully I should have some WIP stuff to share in a week or two!
