Gluing sides and lower support bars

Hi,

These last 2 days I did a lot of gluing !

At first I glued the wood blocs which are in the corners of the soundbox with the sides : IMGP7463.jpg

While it was drying, I took the opportunity to cut the back (and as always I left 3-4 mm of margin) :

I putted them into place and then I glued them on the back :

The following day I glued the lateral sides with the front side :

And at last I glued against the front side the tail block (a wood block that will support the tailpiece and where the axis of the wheel will go through) :
