Today, I became a full time luthier.  I don’t have any more distractions (like a job) to keep me from dedicating myself completely to building guitars.

I received replacement bits for those which I sheared off in earlier aggressive channelling.  I routed the inside and outside ring and glued in the purfling.

Next, after scraping down the inserted rings, routed out the center ring and installed purfling with teflon which will be removed to insert the ablam.
