The pore fill is now completed,the neck is set and bridge located using locating pins in outer bridge pin holes. This allows me to mask the top and accurately glue on the bridge. A few photos showing the tools I use to set neck alignment and angle and bridge location.
Now ready for masking and a visit to my spray booth for a few days; Thanks for looking and feel free to comment Fred |
