Know what I'm talking about?
Bandsaw out a piece of scrap spruce so it can be just wedged in there.
Just a little easier.

Today's brand new guitar is getting a press and dress due to the failings of the manly method.  and I never could deal with the build up of CA splash on the shop walls  Hesh wrote: Very cool, maybe we can get you to retrofit our's when you are here in a few months! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas Dave to you and your's. Looking forward to it! I'm thinking of it as "medical tourism" to have my "Geppetto" surgically removed! Happy holidays to you too! |

That's a good one - I saw it buy it didn't click then I was doing a refret last week and realized I was holding the caul to keep it from spinning and possibly scratching the fret board. Also remembered my Birkonium fret cauls need to have the corners cleaned up a bit - they're sharp. |

Steve, Just remember, if you soften the edges on the cauls, it's harder to judge the fit of the radius when you lay them on the board. I like them pretty sharp so it's easy to see. |

I like them pretty sharp so it's easy to see. You are right about the edges, I should have said corners, not edges. I'm just going to hit the outside bottom corners a touch with 320 on a block or something- they are pretty darn sharp. IIIRC I think Andy warned us they were really sharp when he handed them to us up in AA. |

Oh I like that. Solves at least three problems at once. Thank you for taking the time to share. Dave |
