Well, I've completed a week of working on my mandolin kit. It has been challenging and gratifying at the same time. Here's what I managed to do this week, in pictures:
1. Installing Kerfing
2. Opening up the heel block slot for the tenon
3. Building and using a Sanding Block
4. Gluing up the X bracing
5. Gluing the Transverse Bracing
6. Gluing the Bridge Plate
7. Gluing the Soundboard to the body sides.
