Attach Bridge

I attached the bridge to the soundboard today. After measuring numerous times and making sure the bridge was perpendicular to the ukulele centerline, I got up enough nerve to glue the bridge on. I used the jig that I built for attaching the soundboard and back. The jig was modified by using two cauls at the heel and neck to keep the ukulele stationary and putting a 1" wide clamp that would put even downward pressure on the bridge with two screw-down knobs. The ukulele is a 17" tenor scale. Measuring 17" from the zero fret (nut) to the front edge of the saddle. I'm going to let the glue dry 24 hours before taking the clamps off.
