Before putting on the backs the body must be leveled by sanding on this big chunk of sand paper.
once everything is level it is time to fit the back. First I clamp it in position in order to mark the cross brace locations.
 Once marked a short saw cut is made |  The exacto knife cuts out the slot to accept the brace |
 |  |
| Then comes the glue | And clamp the back on. |
And here they are, all boxed up and the edges trimmed. the fingerboards awaiting their frets and the bodies awaiting their bindings.
