Awesome @powerful!

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I bought the attachment for the Dremel router base but it was so sloppy that I had to make a new brass bush and centre pin on the lathe so that it cuts a true circle. Ah t...

So after all the troubles with the splits in the soundboard, I managed to fix it somehow. Hopefully it is strong enough and it will hold.Over lunch time, I had a go with the dremel and a scrap piece...

@markbailey The photos dont load for me, but I understand what you mean 🙂 I think I am ok now ! my last attempt seems to have resolved the issue.If not, I 'll be back 🙂 Cheers guys for all the advic...

Posted by: @robin Glue it up and carry on regardless. When its ready to glue to the body, thats when to decide if its usable. At worst case you'll have had a good practice. @robin, fair point.. from...

One more attempt. baking paper behind it, removed excess glue with a dry rag this time, instead of a damp one. Attachment : IMG_20211220_221945223.jpg Lets see tomorrow, if it is good, I ll do ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 It looks like the cracks are where the wood changes from heart to sap wood, unless it’s glue stain giving a darker colour. The dark spot is actually glue residu, from my g...

Posted by: @robin You're not giving up on it are you, can't you glue it again ? I don't know, I have tried already twice now, and it feels like I am making it weaker, with each attempt.I am not givi...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Post some close up pics and get a few opinions. Picture of the inner side of the soundboard Attachment : IMG_20211220_204406632-commented.png The crack pointed in r...

Well that's it, I guess that board is ruined now, I made it worse I think, It now also cracked on both sides.I am going to order a new top and start all over, enough source for cleats material now. &...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 so it must have given you a big confidence boost. @rocknroller912 You would think so, but quite the opposite actually, I am more afraid that it will desintegrate when I to...

Posted by: @markbailey will share it when the livestreams start back up. Nice!!Looking forward to it @markbailey

Intresting indeed! I think The Danelectro's have a few models that places neck pickups further down towards the middle (At what point does it become a middle pickup ? 🙂 ). For instance the 59 divine....

I love how it looks now, if you hold it in front of a light source... Attachment : IMG_20211219_151605304.jpg Attachment : IMG_20211219_151613433.jpg

Success!! The glue up seems to have worked perfectly So today I continued and finished sanding. Here and there I am a little under 3.18mm ( or 0.125 "). Only a fraction though. So for a first attempt...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I also wonder if the crack is in an area which will be covered by the bridge plate and X bracing these will be strong reinforcement I think. Well I still have a rectangula...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I would glue with Titebond and clamp like a normal joint I have done this now.. I hope there is enough titebond in the split, we' ll just have to wait for now and see tomo...

Posted by: @bpower I would probably try and glue it with wood glue, put it back in the soundboard clamping jig for pressure, and then just consider that a second glue seam with some cleats on the ins...

Help! I was busy sanding my soundboard to thickness ( german spruce ) and I am to about 3.60 mm I lifted the board to measure thickness at several spots, and suddenly I heard and felt a crack. The boa...

@rashdown_online wooow that looks gorgeous! 😍 🤩 'Nice Work' would be a big understatement.
