Clavichord Day 2 - Gluing and Screwing the Bottom, and Planing

We woke up with our rim upside-down; the bottom clamped to it and keeping things square. The next step was to glue and screw the bottom by countersinking the screws through the bottom and into the case walls. Here's Kyla marking for the screw holes with the awl.

And then Kyla carefully cleaned up the glue squeeze out all the way around and inside the rim.

Next, we had to plane down the overhang of the bottom on the back of the case.

A beautifully flush case with wood confetti!
