Glueing continued

So, the string is tied across the halves and the wedges are pushed in
to tighten the string. Hopefully it works, because then it's quite
easy and straight forward.

Glueing top halves

This is a setup inspired by the pics on the True North Guitars website.

Bending sides - progress and failures

In the pic you can see the first crap attempt with 1.7 mm wood, the
second decent one with 1.4 mm (bent with the wrong side out though!),
and the third piece that I'm gonna bend tonight. I had to wrap the wet
wood in tin foil to stop it from drying out too quickly during the
bending process.
