The back on this mando came loose, so I removed it, removed the loose braces, then sanded, cleaned, and rejoined back with added back strip.  Made a jig for the back and reglued bracing.

First brace fit nicely, moved to second brace and added back strip reinforcement.

Stripped off lacquer on back, then installed onto sides with spool clamps.
