This next sequence shows how the top is glued to the sides.
The top is placed on this jig. You see a circle of wood in the sound hole. That aligns the top to the jig. There are six long screws with thumbscrews and wood blocks. Glue will be applied to the top and the sides will be placed on the top.
In this view the sides have been positioned on the top. See the black clamp holding the sides. That clamp is used to pull the sides in to align the sides with the pencil marks on the top. Three wood pieces have been placed on the long screws, small wood blocks placed on the long wood pieces and the thumbscrews tightened down to apply pressure and force the sides down against the top.
Here we have removed the black clamp. All we have to do now is wait for the glue to dry. Next we will glue the bottom to the sides. Tune in tomorrow to see how that is done.
