Installing the lips
I struggle with how to consistently mark the face of the plug where I want to cut the lip. For example I have 6 Musso Pine Jr I finished turning last night, I cut off the ends, held the lip on the face upside down using the marks for the hooks and weight as a guide along with the bend in the lip, and then drew a line accross the face using the lip as a guide.
In the end, I wanted the lip slot slightly over center with th line tie slightly below center (Using #2 Lefty High Slot). When I compared all 6, they were all a little different with some line ties below center and on center.
So, does anyone have a process or tool to make it easier to mark the face for the lip slot consistently?
