Gluing Top Braces - Part 3

This weekend I glued the last of the braces - the two lower face braces (tone bars), as well as the rosewood bridge patch. I also did some brace shaping with a chisel on the finger braces, but still lots more of that to do.
I can now put away all the go-bar stuff and concentrate on tuning the top.

Looks great Ryan! I really enjoy doing the top braces as it is one of the few parts of the building process where I can actually hear changes I make. It is a lot of fun.

I have been ridiculously busy with work and online selling, so much so that I haven't had any time to get in the shop and work. By the time I get some free time, I am dead tired and don't feel like getting out there. I need to find time so I can get back at it!
