so I cast around, looking for options, thought about a new joint and neck from Stew Mac, but it's just too much, I don't want to size another one, make another fretboard, and basically I'm just back to starting over, same way, an old style mounting block, my existing neck.
.
First I'm going to do everything I can to stabilize and strengthen this box, add some braces, stick everything I've broken and messed with back together. If that ever feels good, I want to either replace that ruined bit of the top between the hole and the neck and then try to get my luthier to stick a proper joint and neck on it, or custom carve a new old style mounting block. I think I have a greatly improved plan about how to do it, the order of operations:
.
it will be a block in three pieces, instead of two, a bespoke piece fitted in the bottom, or back (already begun), and another at the top, both cut diagonally, so I can marry it all with a wedge in the middle, then drill and dowel them together from the top, I mean the front, in the hole where the neck will go. Yes?
.
I still want to replace that ruined bit of the top, fix around the sound hole, it's like wet paper, got to do it for structure. 😈
.
I'm adding bracing now, I guess the next thing after that is getting that bit off, that will be depressing, destroying the rosette. 😈
