“Knives” for Removal of Fretboards and Bridges

Well, in this case they are not really “knives.” My favorites are all kitchen spatulas modified for removing glue joints. In this episode of DIY Guitarmaking, I discuss my favorite implements for bridge and fretboard removal and for removing double stick tape on templates.

Questions on this topic or anything else related to acoustic instrument construction?

Please e-mail [email protected] with the subject line: DIY Question

And I may answer your question on a Q and A episode of DIY Guitarmaking!
