    I retired from Martin Guitar in August of 2021. Part of my time (about 16 years) was in the customer repair department. Brought back memories, although when I would polish we had liquid polish and used handheld buffers to polish. Nice work on that D28.

    Boy, Jerry, you hit the nail on the head. It is very difficult to repair a crack on a light covered top. I had one of my guitar sitting in the guitar stand next to my dresser and I got up and turned off the alarm clock, which was actually the old style that was the electric and anyway somehow grabbed the cord as I was walking away in the alarm clock swung down off the dresser hitting the guitar right in the upper bout below the bridge. I ended up with about a 4 to 5 inch crack in it. I tried every thing that I had seen you do as far as the suction comes with tight bond and clamps trying to pull it in, but you can still see it. Afterwards, I put CA glue crack. It scraped it with razor blade taped off. Anyway, long story short you can still see the because it is dark. I hate it, but at least I guess is sealed and should not cause more damage. But like you said, it is very hard to do on a spruce top light in color. I do really miss your repair videos. I watched them for years but I absolutely understand about the arthritis. For me, I am at the point where I can hardly even play any more of the arthritis in both hands and wrist. It's almost funny to look at my thumb goes halfway from my hand and then immediately turns right, lol. Anyway, thanks for the video, still love to watchyou make a repair.

    Nice work Jerry.. another repair using my 2 favorite tools in the luthier shop I couldn't live without...thanks to your videos ....No. 10 super glue and the exacto knife with the rounded blade ...
    I cant tell you how many times I have sharpened mine .
    One other tip I learned from a Stewmac video was using the exacto knife with a narrow elongated blade and a piece of sticky backed 220 grit sandpaper cut down to size ... this makes the skinniest little file to sand the edges of my inlays in the skinniest places .
    But Jerry Rosa is the reason I started luthier work.
    I guess we got too much in common. Both innovate and like fixing our own stuff .. and both Italian. 😁

    Hi Jerry;
    Loved this repair. CA is treacherous on a finished surface. our minds needs to keep in the game a little even if the hands don't, don't they?.

    You wouldn’t happen to know a Joe Rosa, do you? From Nashville, TN? I bought a watchmakers cleaning machine and it has a decal on it that says, “Hand engraved by Joe Rosa.”

    Great seeing you at work again! As far as using CA glue for those cracks, have you tried Gluboost? It’s sandable, and they even make reusable tape you can reposition as you go, and it won’t be affected by sandpaper. I’m sure other folks have told you about that stuff, but it does work, especially for that type of repair.

    @markkarpinski1460 29 дней назад

    Just curious here. If the crack was so near the sound hole, why not glue the crack from the inside of the guitar? It certainly wouldn’t be an issue of getting to it.
