I'm pleased with the progress I've made over the last few days! I'm sure most guitar builders would probably laugh at my progress because it takes me several days to do stuff they would do in a few minutes or hours, but considering I do not have any special tools and a very limited number of clamps, I think I'm doing quite well! ha ha
I have completed bracing the back, which turned out well with the exception of some glue squeeze out that I didn't clean up as well as I would have liked, but then again considering my clamping methods its amazing it turned out as well as it did! ha ha I've also been gluing in more reinforcements on the sides.

This morning I started bracing the top. First I glued the A-braces and the large brace that goes across the top between the soundhole and the neck. (I'm sure there's a name for this brace but I can't remember what its called at the moment) Here's a couple pictures:
