    Day 4: Part 2
    More side braces


    Building the x- brace. This was pretty easy thanks to Aaron's jigs.
    This is radiused to 30'


    The additional finger braces


    And finally the bridge plate, no you can't have too many go bar rods on this!!


    Not sure if this quick video will work


    Nope, didn't work. Anyway, Aaron wiped some metho over the timber to give an idea of how it will look under finish. Just stunning!!

    So I am being a little pedantic with the cleanliness of the build which is really impressing Aaron, but its put me behind a little. One of the other guys closed up his box today and started working on the neck. The other guy will be gluing the top on his box tomorrow morning while I'm carving my braces. Still within our time frame though.
