Things are really progressing now that I'm getting the knack for how the kit goes together. The second fuse side only took a day to build. The two sides are the same except the plywood veneers are added to opposite sides. The one step that I wasn't too sure about was installing the cross bracing which is made of small diameter bamboo. The first step was to paint it black (you can see it drying upright in a few pictures). While the paint was drying I used my dremel tool with a small drill bit to make a small hole in each corner where the cross bracing is to be installed. The bamboo cuts really easily with scissors. I cut it to length so it wouldn't bind and thanks to the small holes, it held in place even before the glue was added. I used Duco cement for securing the bracing in place. Okay, now I have two fuse sides completed!

I'm up to my current status now so more building to come in a couple days...
