Has done a number of smaller jobs, this nylon stranded Levine from 1965 had a huge crack at the bottom. In addition, the stable was glued with carpenter glue and the stable leg with something even worse. Well. The stable was unloaded and the stern groove was filled in with wood and a new groove was milled out and a leg stall was mounted. The bands were also crowned.
The crack in the bottom needed a wooden stick as it was too wide to just be glued together. Come up with a new way to triangulate the knit using two razor blades. The crack itself was formed into the same V shape with a needle file, the knit was glued with skin glue.
The most fun thing about the guitar was everything on the lid! 🙂
The invention with the razor blades. Tighten in V shape in the vice, the V is given the same angle as the needle file.
