Normally I wouldn’t post a recess I did for myself but I’m VERY happy with this one I did for DYonch. I did the recess with a drill and 3 tools (one for roughing, one for cutting the sides of the recess, and one that leaves a nice finish for the final cuts) I made. Comments are appreciated. And DYonch, I’ll do the other half tomorrow 🙂 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/9/9/89986a82bc479bc8b1b0a38b504f35374ffbcb0a.jpeg) ---

NICE! Did you do your FHZ on the drill or on your lathe? ---

You might want to remove the sticker lip. IMHO it looks better without it. The recess itself is a thing of beauty. ---

ERm… I’m using a sharpened nail to cut, but it isn’t… it just isn’t making a groove. I’ve tried for a couple minutes, and the groove is just a little feelable… around the depth of a sewing thread… ---

I’ve tried for a couple minutes, and the groove is just a little feelable… around the depth of a sewing thread… a nail isnt hard enough steel to hold a good edge, make it out of a screwdriver or old sawzall or jigsaw blade
