Back home and still pluggin' away. I worked on the bridge.

Made some saddles. I thought I would try some different methods of making these: Here, instead of filing off the bottom, I kept the rod sections as big as possible to keep the mass of the saddle as high as possible.

Filed the sides.

I did some routing on the sides, but at the end of the day I did most of the shaping with files... Worked pretty well.

I think that's the best bridge I've made so far.
