Building Cello #2

Glueing the lower bout ribs

I managed also to glue the lower bout ribs to the bottom block today. Last time on the first cello I first glued one side and then the other. That worked really well, but I wanted to try the method shown in The Art of Violin Making by Johnson and Courtnall with this one. One sticks the two ribs together with same tape so that overlap 1-2 mm and then brings them together. The tape has enough give to make it possible to bring the two ends together and hold them tightly. With that done I then glued the ribs to the bottom block. One could have also glued the ribs to the corner blocks but I think that would have been too much in one go for me. I'd rather go slowly and be sure to get it right.

    Elias keeps growing so a bigger cello will be needed eventually. With the previous cello I had to hurry up a little as Elias needed it already. With this one I want to avoid the pressure.
