The first snow of this winter has fallen which gave me problems to get to Bemmel (from Woerden) last Monday. So with only 1,5 hours left I could not do as much as I wanted. I hoped to cut the body to its correct height and get the kerflings in place. But I did not have the time for the kerlings.
I had to draw out a line on the body where to cut off the sides. I used a mold which I brought to height with metal blocks:
Because it is hard to keep track of a thin pencil line when you are sawing, I used tape to accentuate it:
With a backsaw I removed the excess material away. To get better hold of the body I used a piece of wood to hang the body to. This gives you a surface to be able to apply enough pressure to the saw:
The end result:
The next steps will be: Glue down the cracks which are still there. After that I can glue in the kerflings.
