Main Objective:
The final step in preparing to install the top is cutting the pockets in the
lining and doing the final dry fit of the top.
Step Thirteen - 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 let into the lining by cutting small pockets for
the bracing to rest on.
•
Transfer the marks along the top of the lining, connecting the
diagonals of the X-brace and the shoulder brace.
1. Mark the depth of each pocket equal to the ends of the braces. Ie
3/32”. 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.
