Kerfed linings, sides glued to top

The acoustic soprano took a wee stumble forward recently. I dug out the lining strips bought from Stewmac and fitted the sides with them. 

Then I levelled it all on my thick alumINium plate. The sandpaper must’ve been stuck to it for 10 or 12 years but still works fine. 

And then, on the multi-solera, the sides were glued to the top. No fuss, no drama. Just a wee stumble forward.
