Once the binding ledges have been routed, the binding can be fitted in place. If you have pre bought the binding, take it to the bending iron and bend them to shape. If you make your own, bandsaw and sand them to size.When you fit them to the ledge, cut the ends square where they meet the top centerline. Glue up the ledge and tape the binding in place with strong tape. Leave to dry for at least four hours.
