@robin should've got him to take them all out! I had endless grief from mine since I was 5 or so lol

@boo I couldn't believe how painful it was, but I got a really quick response from NHS24. I phoned them at 10:30 on Easter Monday, 4 hours later the dentist at Lochgilphead hospital had removed tooth...

Perfect to stick oak on and carve! 🤣

This part time guitar building just doesn't work. I'm making templates to route my side bending mold and totally forgot that I'd changed the radius of the cutaway. So glued bits back into the template...

@tv101 Good to see another build underway. A nice warm-summer project (when you're not at the caravan!). I'm at the caravan now, but I've not been idle. Started to make the molds for forming the si...

Good to see another build underway. A nice warm-summer project (when you're not at the caravan!).

I was passing by, having not been here for a while, and just had to check out all the builds (especially acoustics). I must admit that I was gobsmacked (really impressed) by your guitar. You've done a...

Always a relief when it all lines up Attachment : 20230412_022841.jpg

Bunch of thin coats of thinned down oil based polyurethane with sanding between various coats then onto microcystalline wax. I use a foam pad on the drill to buff. Attachment : 20230411_154046.j...

@jamesbisset I once removed a bridge that was glued with Titebond type glue from a factory guitar using a domestic iron and some brown paper. Heat does soften the glue but you have to be patient and ...

@jamesbisset if a replacement fretboard isn't a problem then yeh, I'd go with getting it off even if it got ruined. With factory fretboards I've managed to remove a couple but titebond seems proper ...

If I could rescue the neck and get a replacement fingerboard that might be the way forward. If I don’t, I still have to clean up the fingerboard edge where it almost got stuck to the caul. But of cour...

I would see how things line up as in can you still make the neck to the shape you intended. I haven't had much luck separating titebond glued things. Tend to cause more harm than good.

I used Titebond Original. Thing is, technically, the only thing that’s going to be squint is the tuner holes. The neck hasn’t been profiled and the body hasn’t been built yet, so everything with the ...

And - before you make your next mistake - check with Bill first.

I agree with @Boo. Firstly because it'd mean more work for James, but secondly (and, TBH, the main reason) because you want to do the job right if possible, and this isn't too hard to fix. I'd remove ...

@boo Ive learned the hard way

@jamesbisset I know I’m a smart ass being wise after the event but I use water based glue for anything I might want to remove.

I asked GPTChat too: If you've glued your guitar fingerboard to the neck, and it's misaligned, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue: Remove the fingerboard: This is...

@boo Accepted your request thanks. I wondered who it was and nearly declined as I’m getting bombarded with scammers at the moment.
