TL-1TB Build

[Pendragon]

FWIW, I think I would sand the edges of the dowel down to fit the holes. If the dowel fits into a drill chuck, you could place a small section into a drill and spin that around some sand paper.

Thanks for the tip, that is what I did to fit the dowel into the body and used a proper wood glue to set, sanded them down to size then took to the whole top to finish it. Tried setting up the tail and bridge using the provided strings in the kit but having no luck getting it to stay in position, will have to clamp it down in rough position then adjust before making any drill holes.
