10/7 & 10/8 - So now I get to start to truly build. The KMG kit comes with a work board - a sheet of 3/4 MDF shaped like an oversized guitar. The work board and the previously constructed mold are the foundation of the build. First you find the centerline of the work board. Then you align the centerline of the mold with the work board. Set one of the rims in the mold, top (flat) side down, flush to the work board. Use clamps and the waist clamp (provided) to set the rim flush to the mold sides. Locate the right angle of a triangle to align with the centerlines. Mark the ends.
Take a deep breath and trim the rim along your mark. Repeat for the other three rim ends. Set your rims with the butt ends aligned. Attach the neck block and end block per the directions using lots of yellow glue, lots of clamps, the waist clamp and a deck screw through the neck block directly into the mold for alignment and additional clamping power.
Let it set up overnight.
