Cutting the back and gluing the sound board



Jan 9th, 2016

I spent some time in the shop this weekend and decided to cut my piece of maple to shape.   The plank I have was about 2 1/4th.  I re-sawed it and now have two beautiful pieces to choose from.  I will eventually make a template out of Plexiglas,but for now I just traced the shape of the mandolin from a photo copy I made

  I also glued up the spruce top and will let it dry 24 hrs before I cut that one to shape.




Jointing the sides

 Next up is to make a form for gluing the rim.  I trip to Home Depot is in the plans for this weekend
