. . . followed by the top one.
The Cuban Mahogany X brace cap is glued on using fish glue.
  The back braces are then carved and the back is “voiced” – here’s the result.
The linings are notched to accept the brace ends and the back is glued to the rim-set using fish glue.

Thanks, Keith I did a check and found out that images were still on Dave’s website, but all threads containing Dave’s pictures on this site seem to lack them. It may be a temporary problem with the image host? |

It may be a temporary problem with the image host? You may be right. Using my super-powers I checked and the image links do appear in the raw posts here but the pics aren't displaying.  Maybe Martin can explain? Keith |

Looks like it's an issue between the Forum software and Mr Site websites so until it is resolved I suggest that those interested follow progress on the page of my website that ocarolan referenced above. |

Not a perfect solution but needs must. I'll keep this build thread going with links to the images - click the link and the image should pop up in another window, close that and you will be back to this thread. Alternatively follow it on my website.
EDIT: Piccies are now re-hosted and embedded here for your convenience and delectation  The Caucasian Spruce top plates are initially thicknessed, jointed and glued using hot hide glue and the tent method:
The soundhole is going to be “bound” with Cuban Mahogany. Firstly a Cuban Mahogany soundhole patch is cut to shape and glued on using hot hide glue and a caul:
Then the rosette is routed out:  Then a rosette channel is cut in the top down to the soundhole patch: 
The Cuban Mahogany rosette ring and black/ pear/ black outer purfling are test fitted and glued in using white pva glue:
Next a step is routed in the inner edge of the rosette and then the soundhole is routed out. This gives the look of a totally bound soundhole and the fingerboard edge will finish at the beginning of the step to give a complete Mahogany ring around the inner edge of the soundhole: 
The top is then cut close to the final shape:  |

Maybe 
Jo whoever he is.
