11.Glue upper horizontal brace with three cam clamps and two small Quick-Grip clamps. Do the same with the middle brace. Two small Quick-Grip clamps on both ends, with two cam clamps angled next to those with one more small Quick-grip which goes through soundhole to clamp the middle of the brace.
12.Now let’s get back to the sides that were placed in the mold. Pencil squiggly lines over the head and tail block. Take the mold over to the 30’ radius sanding plate and sand until the pencil marks are gone and the rough side edges are smooth.
13. Now glue kerfing to the top of the sides of where the soundboard top will be with clothes pins that are cut so they will give good clamping pressure to the angled kerfing. This is done quickly! Doesn’t have to be exactly flash with the top because we will be going back to the sanding plate for another go over.
And that’s it for today. Can’t wait for more tomorrow which will probably finishing the back with braces and then gluing the back and soundboard onto the sides.
