rgwebb6 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I am trying to reinstall a violin neck I broke out to make repairs. I cannot get the bottom of the neck root flat so I can add the required new wood to it for the right height and angle. Any suggestions? How is it done? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacobsaunders Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 If (I presume) the fingerboard is in the way of your plane, you will just have to file it flat. There is no "cannot" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rgwebb6 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks. Why didn't I think of that. Age I guess. It's been years since I made the ones I play and at 77.... well. I tried chisel, scraper, sandpaper, disc sander, you name it. For some reason file never jogged the synapses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
