Some pictures of the bracing of the guitar. This method of clamping and glueing was abandoned by me long time ago. I don't have much space in the little workshop so the frame was thrown outside. After cleaning it I setted the solera, the guitar mold which has a little bit of a concave to form the top of the guitar. Selected the braces from good wood, canadian red cedar, and cutted them to length. Disposed them dry to see them and proceeded to look for little scraps of wood and some wild reeds in my backyard to make the camping posts that pressure the top. This will help the top to acquire the desired dome. Key elements here: Hide glue. Nothing like hide glue for sound in a guitar. Industry will try to sell you anything. Titebonds and alifatixs and you name it. All crap. Use traditional hide glue, it's vibrating and it's alive and it transmits sound like nothing, and you can unglue whenever you want with heat and water. Another key element here is the long plane, I don't remember the exact name in english... Anyway. That is to set the braces straight. You just use it upside down and drag the braces over the mouth to a thin shaving.
