Yesterday I dug out all the parts I'd bought to fix my 12-string guitar. I also found the receipt that was dated April '98. In the long distant past, I'd joined the 2 halves that make the top, and cut the sound hole. But there, work had stopped. Today I marked out the bracing pattern, cut and glued the bridge patch and the finger braces. The latter will be trimmed with that chisel, once I give it a good sharpening tomorrow.
