I'm a stupid old Git

Just about to fit and glue a bookmatched Koa back to a soprano when I remembered I had not fitted the cross binding to the seam as I had planned on doing :wallbash::wallbash: ..The glue was on and half the clamps on when I remembered...I had to undo the clamps and remove the back before the glue had time to grab...then I had to remove all the wet glue and start again.:deadhorse:

At least you have enough sense to start again.

Everything is now OK cross bracing strip in place and the back successfully glued on

I just did the same thing last week. Add me to the Git list :wallbash:
Oh well :cheers:

I know the feeling. It seems with Titebond you have about a 10 minute window to correct matters without total mayhem. 5 minutes is closer to the mark. I'm not a profane man by nature, but when these things happen I do say the word s** and there is no substitute for that word in this context. Shoot doesn't cut it.... Another reason to have a check-list and follow it. I still don't use one because I'm basically lazy. I must like all that extra work.

A little off topic, but one of my favorite management books is "The Checklist Manifesto". It's a pretty fun read.

It gets worse !... I almost did the same again on the next one:uhoh: ..I mistook it for a one piece back...I don't do book matched on sopranos normaly.

If it's that stuff Tom brought you it shouldn't need cross banding. We make our joints very tight.

No it wasn't that Koa Pete , it was some I was gifted from Chuck last year I jointed it myself. ...lack of confidence I suppose.
