When you scrape the purfling, is that just to give it an easy fit? I was also wondering about the purfling joint at the bottom of the plate. I know it's not crucial that the purfling meets at the top because the neck insert cuts into that area anyway, but why leave the pieces a bit short at the bottom? I guess you fill in that gap after the fact? Is that less hassle than just making the pieces meet cleanly to begin with?
Scraping the edges so the purfling fits in more easily. Saddle is at the bottom of the front, hence no worry about purfling in that area. Back, however has to be perfect!!
Yes we saw you multi-tasking. That was a very helpful explanation, sketch, and demonstration.
Thanks so much for these tips Graham, they really are great nuggets of information.
My pleasure!
Thanks Graham, not as scary as it once was.
thanks Graham. I always had problems with that little angle breaking , I will use your method next time I cut in my purfling.
I was so happy to resolve the issue. Hasn't happened since I changed to this method.
