Since I have to do this a neck reset is now a no brainer so stay tuned for more fun with the amateur. I was also going to glue the top brace at the tail block and as I pulled it up a bit to sand the whole brace came off. At least that makes the sanding off of the old glue easier, so that has been glued back on. Have also started with the color touch up on the crack and buckle rash on the back. I'll post progress pictures and information as I progress as I know Sheila is interested. Maybe she won't be after the pictures post!
Cheers.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills, which far exceed my own. I am reading, studying photos, and perhaps driving my woodworking husband a little crazy as I learn. I'm long on enthusiasm and terribly short on know-how. For example: I need to tend to a few cracks, but I understand I need to remove the top (or back) to do so, and I don't know how to do so. How does one do so?
And why, by the way, do we call those two components a top and a back, instead of a top and a bottom or a front and a back? A preoccupation with language can be damning, I tell you.
