Assembled the Rim to Mike's Top

I've assembled the rim of Mike's semi-baritone and glued it to the top. Mike put in a custom request for that a port hole be built into the side of his guitar. The port hole sends out a tone that is very rich in the bass. I believe this is because the standing waves aligned in the direction of this port are much longer (lower frequency) bouncing across the entire girth of the guitar, from this side all the way to the lower bout on the other side. The port will preferentially pass these low frequency standing waves from the area immediately surrounding it. Next I'll be bracing the back.
