Luthier Plate Joining Jig:

I have had this jig in use for many years but never filmed. Cherry wood Psaltery back, planed and ready to glue. The jig is a very simple construction with battens, ladder rungs and wedges, more battens and bias tape and string, steel eyes, and tied on to small boat cleats.
