No problem, Marco - that was great! With the time I got accustomed to be spelt Altman by Americans and Tomas (without "h") by Cubans, but this one was really far over the bar.
I'm glad you are happy with my construction tips. Actually I'm not aware of any particular design I made. I just went to buy the wood to build a box, and it turned out like this. If I wanted to build a crate or a case for my bongos, I would construct them in a quite similar way. Because that's what "cajones" were made of: codfish crates.
By the way, I have never been to Brazil; so whoever it was whom your friend had met, it couldn't have been me. Greetings anyway!
