Installing the Kerfing


I just got the clamps off and check the sides of the guitar to see how that set up. The one flaw is the bottom corner of the side on the end block spaced out a little when I glued it so there is a very slight taper in what will be my "top" side when playing it. People would probably advise me to try to steam the block and remove it to reglue it, but it is a fairly minor gap, and I'd like to run with it and see what happens. If anything, I'd like to see what exactly happens with it and what kind of set backs it is, so I know not to do it next time and know exactly what problems it causes.

Anyways, I installed the internal mold of the guitar and glued the "backs" kerfing on with roughly 100 clothes pins strengthened by rubber bands.
