Soundboards braced

Managed to put braces and bridge patches on today. And then I glued
the first one to a set of sides.

Rough cut soundboards

Cut the soundboards out with a knife, tried for a while to alter a
compass to a hole-cutter - but ended up drilling 30 or 40 small holes
instead. Next will be bracing.

And I have a tenor to consider... It will most likely have a one piece
spruce top, and the rest will be mahogany.

Dust-E-Whacker!

Of course this might be an answer for a question noone asked, but
after sanding the linings to be flush with the sides I had to do
something about the dust covering me and my shop.

So here's the solution this far: a box with a really stable top made
from a laminate (that looks like wood...) clad with sandpaper. Between
the strips are holes through the top, and the shop vac is connected
through a hole in one of the walls.

Preliminary tests says it's a winner - the sawdust disappears
magically even when the vac is at a really low and almost quiet setting.

And as you also see, both sides have been fitted with blocks and top-
side linings.
