So, I seem to be saying this a lot lately, but again the reason why I haven’t posted any of the photos of the projects that I’ve tried so far is because most of failed…. Including gluing my sides.
After I took the clamps off I found a crack in between the two pieces of wood. So instead of being completely straight like this | the space between the two looked like this /\ (not quite that big but you get the point.) I went to a forum that I knew of “bluescreekguitars” and asked about this, I got a lot of info and it sounded like it shouldn’t that big of a deal to take the glue off and re-glue. So, that’s what I did. (Although one gentleman pointed out that I might be causing more harm than good. I see his point, but not much that I can do about it now that I started lol)
It’s kind of tedious work, because I’d rather not harm the wood, but I think I have it worked out. I had one of the sides off before I started writing this so I’ll talk about taking the other off.
the wood and the iron. Then I used this knife to slice into the first part of the glue. After I worked down far enough I used this tool, it looked rather dangerous but it worked, and just add a little water, heat it up, and work my way down… this way I took the cale off both sides of the wood.
