Default Octave Mandolin Build - Day 2 to 7

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.
