This fingerboard is too thin to plane, and too pitted to play as is. In other words, it's worn out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the fingerboard has been carefully removed, old glue is soaked off the neck. |
|
|
|
Using a plane and flat plate, the back of the fingerboard is flattened, as is the neck surface of the violin. |
|
|
|

|
The top of the fingerboard is shaped to match a template. |
|
|
A marking guage is used to set the edge thickness. |
|
|
|
The sides of the fingerboard are planed to the width of the neck. |
|
|
|

|
The end is made square |
|
|
|
Once glued, the fingerboard recieves a final dressing and sanding. |
|
|
|
|
A nut is fit. |

|
Grooves for the strings are made with a file. |
|
|
After gluing it on, the nut is shaped to match the curve of the fingerboard. |
|
The string placements are marked on the nut. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fingerboard is now ready to play. |
