I got the top bracing laid out, I plan to start to brace up today. Humidity is at 70% right now but it tends to go down later in the day.

Half closed the box today, glued the back to the rim with my trusty gobar deck using those high quality no-slip gobar rods from John. I prefer to glue the back on first because it affords me the opportunity to do a nice clean up where the back will be seen through the soundhole. Others glue the top on first so that they can tap tone for sound and make adjustments. I'm not even going to pretend that I have a clue as to what this procedure is or even what I would be listening for. For right now I am quite OK with this!!!
