Luthier Guitar Top Glue-up

[@ecrusch]

I don't make instruments, but I have been working with thinner stock and I really like your bridging technique before gluing to get a nice tight joint.

[@magalloninstruments]

I tried this on two 1/4 inch thick, 6-inch wide boards, and used a 1/4 inch bridge, but it was tighter in the bridge position. than when it "popped" down.flat. Maybe my brigde wasn't tall enough. I just grabbed some clamps and it worked fine. I think the corner to corner distance madee it tighter in the bridge position than when was flat.

i have a 12 string acoustic guitar whose bridge is raising towards the body is there anyway to fix this

I could not decode the name of the glue. Would you please tell me what glue you used?

Great lesson!
But,
I would never run 2 pieces over a jointer held by hand. One at a time.

Did you just make the logo on your computer and print it out on ordinary printer paper and use rubber cement ?

[@taxisteve929]

I thought he was going to do that too....but I guess the clamp is about as heavy as you can get.

[@SteveStubbert]

do you still build guitars?

Are you sure you waited until the next day? you're wearing the same shirt. In film making that's called continuity with wardrobe.....LOL!

[@taxisteve929]

I didn't notice but would guess that's his "working with glue" shirt....I do the same thing. Why get a clean shirt dirty when you already got the dirty shirt from the day before!!! LOL
