U bolts will work, to clamp necks and fret boards together. Less to make to use with them. Just make the boards out of left over neck, or fret board material.

That's cheating! LOL I never even considered using u-bolts, definitely something to think about. My neighbor uses zip ties and mi I wedges. He puts on a barely loose zip with the locking part toward the bottomtaps in a wedge. The zipzip keeps the fingerboard in alinement as well as clamping force.

Even just a bolt, wing nut, and blocks of wood.

Hi This what I use for violins over the past few years. They also help to line up the fingerboard. And apply good clamping pressure.

Wow! You have to be kidding me! I have a butt load of those, we use them for securing cabinet doors and drawers in the RV when we are traveling. Thanks for the idea.
