Since yesterday: roughly trimmed the end of the soundboard, adjusted the wrestplank support blocks and added the jackrail.Jackrail info: (this is the piece that spans the narrow dimension, at the wide end of the soundboard) Made from a 1" thick strip of poplar, with a routed molding and a 5/8" by 2.75" wide dado. The jacks (things that pluck the strings) hit this and then fall back down.
The angles in this thing will be the end of me: the jackrail is at an 89 degree angle from the spine, which is significant enough along the 33" width that I had to match it...
