Hi @boo I seem to remember the original Araldite as being a fairly viscous creamy/yellow colour and this might suggest that it is/was an acrylic based product. They do loads of branded adhesives now s...

A straight longitudinal crack in a dark, stripy wood is going to be VERY difficult to spot afterwards if you follow the advice already given, and it will have very little, if any, effect on the overal...

Thanks for the feedback @darrenking and @rocknroller912. Darren.... I really.... really want to use it with the stripes in the middle. I'm very glad you mentioned about the epoxy. I really did have mo...

@bpower Good advice from @darrenking I would follow it

Hi @bpower, Firstly, you really want to have the stripes up the middle, it is so much prettier that way. Secondly, if you are going to have a go at fixing this I suggest that you used an adhesive that...

@marion I meant to set the veneer in loose but gluing would probably be better, leaving a small gap at the ends to fill with dust and glue. This can be made to look invisible with care. I would make ...

@rocknroller912 It seems a good idea. When you said : "put a piece of veneer between the two lengths when gluing which will simulate the 15th fret slot" Do you mean that I should glue a small piece o...

@mario Wlll the fretboard have edge binding. If so and you have spare material in the length then you could cut it through at the 15th fret and make the fretboard in two pieces discarding the mistake....

Hi @darrenking , In the case I buy a new fretboard. Do you recommend me a way to "recycle" the first fretboard. Can I use it for another purpose ?

@mario I like this piece of ebony, and would like to repair it, so I appreciate your comments, where can I find a suitable veener? Do you have any offcuts from your ebony that you can sand a pile o...

Hi @mario, If it were me, and I had only just started working on the fretboard, I think I would decide to start again. It will be almost impossible to repair this without it being visible and there is...

@boo Attachment : IMG_20220119_185132.jpg Here is a picture. It was the first time I was testing my jig, and in the slot nº16, I thought I was in the right position but in fact the fretboard wa...

Hi, Recently I was cutting frets slots with a jig I made myself, but I made a mistake and cutted a fret slot in a wrong position. ¿ Is there a solution to repair this wrong slot or do I have to use a ...

@bpower I would worry about pulling the crack open with a plane, but a good sharp blade and thin shavings should be ok. In theory it shouldn’t be any different to planing over the centre join.

Dot markers and side dots in followed by frets today. All ready now for the final sanding process tomorrow. Cheers. Attachment : 200956BB-54B5-4A88-AE05-39127D45ED92.jpeg Attachment : ACEB...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 This is a great move for you I think. Sharpening hand tools is a good way to learn woodwork. Most people rely on machines these days which takes all the fun out. Don’t get ...

@rocknroller912 I am planning on using my hand plane to thickness it as my homemade sander is out in the shed and it is not just cold in there but it is "friggen" cold. That being said, generating hea...

Posted by: @tv101 It’s a great album @russ. I’ve had it years, it was a bit of a random selection scrolling through an MP3 player looking for something I’d not played for a hike, I actually don't h...
