Brace the G4V soundboard.

Before the meeting, Larry braced the top.

Fitting the braced top (soundboard) to the rim

The process goes something like this:

1. Postition the top on the rim
2. Mark the brace positions on the rim and the rim outline on the braces
3. Rout the pockets for the braces in the rim linings
4. Trim the braces to fit into the pockets
5. Test the fit of the top to the rim
6. Adjust pockets and brace lengths
7. Repeat until it all fits together
