Over the weekend, I got the case all glued together. Ideally I would have like to let the dovetails hold it all together, but hopefully I won’t ever need to take it apart. I got the bottom cut and set in a rabbeted channel in the bottom, but still have to glue it.
I got one of the cabriole legs done, and the other 2 are glued up ready to cut. I couldn’t wait and had to prop it up and get a look. If the whole picture doesn’t show up of the leg, click on it, and I think it will open new window in photobucket where you can see all of it.
My strings and tuning pins arrived in the mail from Musicmaker’s kits…I’m getting excited now!

Looking great so far.
Can’t wait to hear it.
Did you find some plans or are you just winging it?
