Ordered the tone ring, some resonator parts and tailpiece.  Once tone ring arrives I can fine tune the depth of body.  I have the sides in the mold with the neck/butt blocks and kerf installed.  This will have a flat top and back, no radius.

Finished building the plate joining jig.  Did the shooting board thing with the back plates, first with the plane, then finished with the 48″ level with sandpaper.
