Multiple disasters.

Today has absolutely sucked. While trying to clean up the edges of the f-hole binding on the pink guitar I've determined its such a mess that I'm going to have to remount the template, route off the binding, and redo it. I think the trick will be to set it slightly proud, respray a couple of coats of pink on the front and then sand the binding down flush with 600grit paper.



Next, while removing the fingerboard masking on the neck, the Deft stuck, and an area about the size of two quarters pealed off like plastic wrap. It will be relatively easy to repair, but I am, to say the least, ticked off.



And finally, while routing the control opening on the green guitar, the bit jumped and gouged the top. Fortunately the pickgaurd will just, and I do mean just, cover the gouge. The anger meter has gone up to seething. Ah well, nothing to do for it but drive on.
