Braces part 1

So I decided to go with hide glue for doing the braces instead of my usual Titebond.  Instead of buying an expensive gluepot, I just got a hotplate and used a soup pan and a pyrex measuring cup.  One thing I learned, is that this stuff smells awful.  I also learned that i need an inspection camera.  These mirrors are a pain to work with.  Plus my pictures this time around suck.  Anyways, I glued up 1 brace, using thumbscrew jacks and my magnet clamps to hold em down.  It worked pretty well, I just need to add a couple drops under one end to secure it down.  Hoping to get the 2nd bottom brace done later today.
