Almost there

Pegs are in, nut's made, and the shellac is polished. After I took the pic I put the strings on. 

But before I could do that I spent an hour sorting a couple of drawers and cleaning the bench in search of the little tube with the glass beads I use on the strings. Eventually I found them in the third drawer. Sabotage! I never put the beads in the third drawer! 

But the cleaning was long overdue anyway.
