Top and back kerfed and radius sanded. Layer out bracing markings on top and x-braces are glued and clamped. Will continue top bracing this weekend.

I was "close" too then StewMac put their kit on sale for Father's Day, 20% off. That was a hundred bucks. I've been collecting books and tools for 25 years so it's time. Expect not to have enough clamps.kinspeed wrote:I'll be following your progress. I am close to starting my first builds.
Nice job on the torch inlay!Kbore wrote:Another Check Mark
Thank you. I would say passable at three to four feet. I almost ripped it off and started anew. But at four feet, it’s passable. The dots went to a black layer as I leveled it to the overlay. The more I sanded, the blacker they got. Was really beautiful on the top layer, till it got sanded off. I had to throw in the towel and call it done. And a tiny piece chipped out... you can see it in the pic. Thank you for the kudosDiane Kauffmds wrote:Excellent job!
