ah, I’ve a devil of a choice now, keep shaping this fretboard, do the next thing, finish the job when the neck may just snap off again, or tune it up again now, snap it again now? . I don’t see anything on the wood glue bottle about curing, just clamp for 25 minutes, and I had gotten it all wet first so I left the clamps on overnight JIC, do I test it now or is it too soon? . Is there a #Luthier in the house? . /30 #Guitar #Framus12StringProject

I love you guys but nobody answers goddam questions. 😠 . I decided that what I needed to do besides gluing the break was making it strong as I can from the other side, the fretboard side, meaning take not another millimetre off of the fretboard at that end and attaching the new one as solidly as possible. . Plus I decided that’s structural, and I ought to finsh that first, before I start worrying about shape - plus I realized it’s a new fretboard, no frets yet, so no reason it’s the under piece that has to be shaped. . So I can go back to a normal sequence, shape the final top fretboard instead. If I sand through the fret slots, I have a fret saw, I can just cut them again. . I took it off, one time only, took the peak off the under piece one last time and glued the new one on again, and was not miserly with the glue, that ought to be permanent. . Thanks for nuthin’ kids 😀 . /31 #Luthier #Guitar #Framus12StringProject
