I like what you're doing with the side braces. Makes a lot of sense on all levels.
Sweet rosette too!

Here are some updated pictures. To start, back bracing in and gluing up center strip.
 Top bracing in after vacuum clamping.  After scalloping and tap tuning.    Wet down.  Back bracing finished shaping and ready to put on the sides.

Here are a few more pictures to bring things up to date.
  Gluing up the body.  The body coming out of the mold.  Trimming off the excess.   Cutting the end graph and installing.   Cleaned up and ready for binding.

Lovely Dennis,
You luthiers amaze me! The bracing and kerfing work inside the guitar look as good as most people's finished projects. BTW. I think I've got the same router table, maybe I need to buy some wood?

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Life has finally slowed down a bit to let me get back to the guitars. Many things happening on my end and just finished on the weekend a show/luthiers gathering near me, lots of fun and I know I shouldn't have walked towards the wood they had sitting out $$. Any way the binding will be on this guitar soon and I have to get on to making the necks for these guitars, I have less than a week to do it since I am having this filmed and the guy that is doing it will be leaving for two months in less than two weeks. I also have two other guitars that I am working on at this time, a Small Consort and a slope dread that I call a K45. Hope to have all 4 guitars for the Montreal guitar show in July. Pappy, The router table that you see in the picture, I have it mounted to the side of my table saw. I helps when I have extra long stuff when cutting on the saw but I put hinges on it to fold down so it will be out of the way when I don't need it anymore.

Hey everyone, I have been busy with these guitars and will be putting up more pictures soon. Since this guitar is a Cedar and Mahogany guitar, I had a friend help put together a small clip, of some of the building of these guitars and the guitar being played is also a Cedar/Mahogany SJ guitar that I built some years ago.
Let me know what you think, we still may add some to this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8l7joYp23I Last edited by D.Kwasnycia; 05-04-2010 at 07:03 PM.
