Mike,
I'm anxious to see how your pattern adaptations work out.  I've got a couple patterns from Allen Martin but haven't settled on which one to use for my next project.
I'm also curious to hear your assesment of the cast box.  I wonder if it will be more difficult to contour to the stock.  I presume the hinge will be fairly rigid. 
Please let us know.

Thanks
Jeff

My Little Lehigh was built using a blank I got from Al, with the Herman Rupp profile, if you want to check it out.
