I got the sides all bend and the rims glued up. I had the tail block and neck block set in just right.......When I unclamped it I discovered that each side was almost an inch too long. Perhaps I should measure more carefully next time......

I made a cool tuner hole drilling guide for classicals - which I used with much success on my first. I used it again yesterday and discovered I had it turned upside down, after I drilled all six holes ! Now I have to find the plug cutter and plug my misplaced holes. ![[headinwall]](./images/smilies/headbangwalluf8.gif "Mad")

A few hours ago, I accidentally knocked my dad's (almost) brand new laptop off the counter, and the screen cracked in a "V" shape directly from the middle up to each corner, so it's toast.  I'm dreading how much this is going to cost to fix. ![[uncle]](./images/smilies/surrenderflagqv6.gif "Uncle") And if you're wondering where this ties in to lutherie, I was browsing this forum when it happened.

So, I finally resolved some issues I had been having with my bending set-up; bought a new thermometer, stainless slats, adopted Todd's method of using craft paper to provide just enough moisture. The stuff bent like butter! Bent my first cutaway simply and accurately and it held its shape well. Then, I realized I had bent it (the second side) inside out!!! Aaaaaargh! Not the end of the world but it was some nice rosewood with strong grain lines and the complete mis-alignment at the tail end of the guitar is going to mock me for ever...  Shane |

While installing purfling, I super glued a pencil to my lip today.nothing but empathy. All CA is graciously accepted, Keep the skivies, mine made a nice rag. WudWerkr, depending on the model of the laptop, and if you do the work yourself, Start at $99.00 - $175.00 or <. If a tech does it count on an extra $100.00 an hour more or less, the bet is more. Be glad it's Dad and not father in law. I highly doubt it is how you wanted to start the year... ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations")

Not me - brings back too many embarassing memories - back in October I superglued my fingers together at 1AM. Wasn't about to wake my wife up to find the fingernail polish remover, so I waited until morning. She didn't even bat an eye when I asked her where it was at 8 AM......

Bleeding in and of itself is not a dufus move. It's a matter of what led to the skin incursion that may or may not qualify you. |

Well, I decided to sand some headstocks last night. Including one for a custom build. This was supposed to have a greenfield shape and not my shape, but I sanded mine instead! This was a custom neck from hanalei moon. I have to ask if he'll live with the different shape. Otherwise it's a redo Btw, Scotch and guitarbuilding don't mix
