Step Two-Preparing the Sides for the Top
The sides have lining already attached around the inside perimeter of the
body of the soundbox. Lining provides a larger gluing surface for the top to
attach. Each brace needs to be le
tt
t into the lining by cutting small pockets for
the bracing to rest on.
1) From step 1-13. Looking at the space
between the top and soundbox, mark
the sides where the “X & shoulder”
bracing contacts the soundbox. Two
marks for each brace. Ie Left & Right.
We will revisit these marks in Step 2-1.
2) Transfer the marks along the top of the
lining, connecting the diagonals of the
X-brace and the shoulder brace.
3) Mark the depth of each pocket equal to the ends of the braces. Ie
3/16”. Now, VERY carefully, start to cut away the lining at each mark
with a chisel or utility knife until the top fits flush onto the soundbox.
