Once the End blocks are glued, it is necessary to reinforce the body with cardboard. This cardboard is already cut to size and shape, so this is a pretty easy step. You can see that I have already put one piece of cardboard inside the body, and two pieces of pine are standing in the middle. Under this piece of cardboard, there are a couple of pieces of scrap 3/4 inch pieces of wood to help place the first piece of cardboard in the middle of the body and to allow room for the kerfing. These Pine blocks have been glued in place with super glue.
Spread a little more glue on the tops of the pine blocks, and set the next piece of cardboard on top and press down firmly until it makes contact with the glue.
And that's that. Next, I will have to make a clamp out of plywood that will squeeze the sides of the body tight to the cardboard cutout. This will help the sides keep their shape when the kerfing, top and bottom are glued in place.
