Applying the top bracing

Using g and spring clamps I applied the top bracing over two classes. To protect the bracing, small pieces of timber were placed over the areas where the g-clamps would be applied, keeping the bracing's scalloped appearance. The largest g-clamps held the cross brace and two lower bars in place while the spring clamps held the top bar. The smallest of the g-clamps were placed inside the soundhole and held the bracing closest to the hole.
Clamps were in short supply as everyone was at the same level so in between clamping I began rounding my fretboard.
