Hello! Welcome back!

This week, as I said on the last post, I worked on my frets. I used my saw to make the markings after doing my calculations of how long each of them should be. After that, I glued the toothpicks on each of the markings with standard wood glue, as I am doing in the picture. I obviously had to wait for them to dry, so while that happened, I worked a little bit more on using the sandpaper to fix some flaws and imperfections around the box. That is what I accomplished this week. What I am doing right now is I am measuring exactly where I want the little tuning hooks to be on the tuning pad, and marking it with a pencil so they can be simmetrical and look nice. Obviously, I want it to sound good, but I also really want it to look good, like a lot of effort was put into it. Next week, I plan to screw in my tuning hooks onto the tuning pad.
Thanks for reading!
