I got all the fan braces glued and trimmed - just finishing up the V-brace. Next I'll glue the upper and lower cross struts and upper transverse bar. The fan braces were much easier than I anticipated. I marked the outline of the bridge graft with a pencil and cut them with a chisel. After they were glued, I shaved them down with a block plane, then used a chisel to scallop the ends. Interestingly, I started scalloping with a gouge but found that a chisel with the bevel down worked much more efficiently. Finally, I sanded the everything with 220 garnet paper.
