Building a Cello

Glueing the body together

It is a big day today. After having glued the label on its place, I also glued the body together! I didn't make any photos of the glue up as it was pretty hectic. But I think I did OK. One thing I realised is that I didn't have enough clamps. I need to make more. Maybe I hadn't noticed that while glueing the back because the maple use on the back is stiffer than the spruce on the front. I also realised I should have done a better clean up after the glueing. There are a few places where the glue has come on the ribs. Oh well, next time.

Anyways, this is really exciting. Now I only need to attach the neck and the saddle to the body.

    My son is outgrowing his cello soon. Could there be a better reason to learn how to make one :).
