A while back I came across a video on youtube (I think) where a CBG'r was using a #6 countersink to drill holes for tuners.  I could have sworn I saved/bookmarked that video but now can't find…Continue

multi-piece fretboard--bad idea?

Rooting through my scaps, I've come across some that I'd like to cut and use for a fret-board.  They are thick enough (or will be as soon as I resaw them), but they aren't long enough.  As I seen it,…Continue

Sound hole placement

Rooting through my scaps, I've come across some that I'd like to cut and use for a fret-board.  They are thick enough (or will be as soon as I resaw them), but they aren't long enough.  As I seen it, I have two options:1. Glue them together to and they will be long enough2. Just butt them together and the seam would be when a fret would go (hope that makes sense)Any reason not to do either method?Bill WSee More
