Acoustic Guitar Construction

Check out this pic of James Goodall's method of applying binding. Talk about focus.

Interesting fixture -- pretty bold doing back and top at the same time -- or maybe that's presumptuous on my part?

Hmmm..I assumed he had some faux binding on the other side as a place holder. I also don't quite make out what that tool is in his right hand.

I've seen that picture before.
That is a chisel

Ah! Do you happen to know if he is gluing on the two banded parts at the same time?

Isn't that a spudger?

I googled 'spudger" and still don't know what it is.
