OK, just a LITTLE progress!!

neck & tail blocks glued in, linings glued in (you can never have too many clamps..... clothes pegs do the job nicely!!)

Back & top braces all glued into place, the back braces carved and the back glued into place.

I've left it for the weekend with the maple bridge plate glued in place

Monday will hopefully see the top braces carved and the top fitted.

then I'll bind it with mahogany as per Tim's specs.
