Once the fretboard was placed on, it slid right into place because the nails helped align it.

Then I scrambled for every clamp I ever owned - only 7 in total. Clamps are expensive so I'll have to collect them slowly.


I managed to get even glue squeeze out. This means my joint was well prepared and I was very pleased. It was extremely satisfying seeing the glue squeeze out as I clamped it down. I also wiped off the excess with wet paper towels to help more glue to be squeezed out.


That's it for today. I'm leaving all the clamps on for 24 hours.

So far so good!
