Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot. Preparing the top for gluing. I anchor my mold to my work board which sits atop a large turntable. Since I can't move around my workspace the guitar spins for me. Has worked out really well.

Top glued up. Everything looks tight. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Successful top assembly. Dove right in and cleaned up the overhang with a trim router and flush cut bit. I am kind of in awe of this thing I'm making (and that I'm the one making it).

That is looking good. I still find it scary to take the router to the top.

Getting ready to rout in a backstrip. Measure five times, rout once.

Came out very nice. Now on to the back bracing.

Glued up the back braces. Contouring and thinning at the rim. Made a depth jig out of 3 layers of flexible cutting board (equaling 1/16"). Works great.

Back glued up and trimmed. Tail wedge next.

Love that IR. That's going to be one gorgeous guitar.

Got the tail wedge done. Have been prepping the sides for the dreaded binding step.
