Day 25 - Cutting the dovetail joint and repairing the rosette.

I marked the center of the soundboard


I fitted the body into the dovetail cutting jig.



I routed down to 15mm deep.



I changed router bits to cut the outward angle.



I fitted the neck into the dovetail cutting jig.



I routed to 13mm deep.



I changed blades to cut the outward angle.




Some of the outer perfling surrounding my rosette had come apart when the soundboard was being thinned. 


I made a circular piece to fit into the soundhole to create an anchor point for the dremmel. 


I used the dremmel to route into the existing perfling.



I fitted new perfling into the routed channel.
