RE: What can you get for a tenner?

RE: What can you get for a tenner?

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

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 ...

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

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...

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

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.

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

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 ...

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

I would be tempted to heat up the board and remove it, 1.5mm is a lot I think. You could redraw your centre line but it will throw the nut out as well and may cause a problem with the strings leaving ...

Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?

I glued and clamped the fingerboard to the neck yesterday. This morning, after taking the clamps and caul off, I find the fingerboard has twisted off axis by about 1.5mm. I reckon it happened like th...
