After a few distractions the project is now going ahead again ... as with most new ideas you get teething problems ...All has gone well up to the stage where the sound board is finally glued to the sides in the mould , it turned out that the CNC fit is just a little too tight and the sound board edges fouled up on the mould rebate preventing a good glue joint ( It needs about 0.5mm clearance all round ) So I've had to remove the poorly glued top and I'll adjust the mould or the top plate, and I'll give it another go tomorrow.
