In case anyone thinks I'm building this guitar in a fully equipped workshop, or that I know what I'm doing, here's a clue. I'm working on the kitchen table, using kitchen weights as I don't have enough clamps. All the knowledge comes from a book. Today's progress has been to cut and glue the lower face braces (there are two, one seen here under the weights, the other loose). I also planed and sanded the upper face brace. It's coming on and still not firewood!
