Ukulele Day 09 Tuning the top

This is the result of glued bracing.
Today, we'll tune the top.

Start by sanding out the bridge.

Chamfer bracing

We use aluminum jig to measure the required height of top bracing. It is 3 mm.

Tap, remove waste, tap, remove waste

We precisely cut the top line because we'll assembly this top with side. (refer from this cut top line)

We clean all glue mark, sand it, make it nice and neat.

 Clamp the top and check the position.

Center?

Center?

We, then, mark the length of bracing with ukulele width at each bracing's position.
Cut it to fit the body.

Also, we use chisel to remove a small part of top lining so that the bracing sits perfectly on top lining.

Finally, we glue the top with side with go bar.
