Thanks dubai- for attaching bridges it depends- if it's a new Oud you can use clamps... also on a repair job you could remove the rosette and use
deep-reach C-clamps; other than that maybe Dr. Oud has some input?
Peyman- thanks! - what do you mean some kind of garage? My shop is a small backyard castle... with a moat and guards and solar power and a full time
staff of cooks and I keep a backstock of aged lumber in the wood cellar- next to the wine cellar and...... no, it's actually just a converted garden
shed. I'll attach pics next.

Oh, I meant your friend's garage!

garage. The braces are of the same. |

Gotcha... yes, it was pretty much rotten, except towards the roof, where those boards were from. I have some pieces without the black stains- probably
enough for 3 or 4 instruments, but I wanted to try it out with this project first! I loved the sound of Carpenter's cedar top.

Done...ish
Here she is, all strung up and singin'! Sounds more like Carpenter's than any other I can think of... must be the cedar tops? That cheddarwood sure
has a creamy sound. It's not as 'loud' or 'punchy' as I'd hoped, but maybe I just need to give it time. Also had to jam the pegs in pretty far to get
them to stop slipping, so pegbox seems a bit narrow.
