First day back in Instrument Tech

Today in our first day in Instrument tech we decided which guitar we were going to make a dreadnought or OOO! I decided to make the OOO guitar.
1st former
To start off i had to begin the sides former. I drew around the template and cut the two formers out and then sanded one of them down to the line.
Next i stuck the two formers together with screws and took shavings off till they were equal.
I then separated the two formers. then using the chop saw i cut out 20 pieces of wood which were going to join the the two sides of the former. They where pin using the air compressor gun. When this was complete i got the very flexible length of wood which was to cover the former to give a smooth surface for the sides to be bent on.
The wood was pinned down and sanded off. I then filled in the holes with wood filler.
