Once the fretboard is in the right position it’s held in place with two locating pins. 

A little bit of sanding to the soundboard between the soundhole and the neck to ensure a smooth fit for gluing on.

Getting the fretboard in place. Using the rule to check its in line.

Keep checking the angle and straightness against the centre line.

It’s almost impossible to get it right first time so a few wee adjustments by gluing on some veneers.

Using a straight edge and neck angle jig to get it straight and at the correct neck angle

Now a bit of refinement of the dovetail joint to get an accurate fit. First I created a small chamfer along the edges.

Then fine adjustment of the tenon until it fits

Good to see you back in action @boo. Lovin’ the whisky stain idea. 
Hope you’re enjoying your life up here.
