This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.......

Coming along very nicely @tyreman. It'll be very interesting to see how this prototype stands the test of time. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Then I planed and scraped the binding flush with the body.... Then a wee bit of sanding..... .... and a wee bit more..... 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then I had to get the tape off again. A gentle heat with the heat gun.... 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then glued the binding on. First to the top ..... And then to the back.... 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then I routed out the binding channel on the top and the back. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Next I prepared the binding for both the top and the back. I then held it in place in the mould. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then planed and scraped it flush with the soundboard surface. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then glued it on. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then made the purfling for the top edges. Gone for simple black/white/black. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Next I routed out the purfling channel on the soundboard. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then a wee bit of sanding. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then plane and scrape it flush with the sides. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then cutting it to size. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then glued it in place. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then I made the end graft from a cut off from the neck blank and two pieces of ebony veneer. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

A wee bit of work on the end graft. Once it was marked out I gouged out the channel using chisels and "Grannies Tooth" 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then I used the router and binding jig with a flush cut bit to trim the back and soundboard flush with the sides. ........ 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Then I glued on the soundboard using the go-bar deck again. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Then I marked out and cut out the notches to accommodate the braces of the soundboard. ......... 🙂🙏🎸🎶
