However when I got asked about this one I thought it would be a good challenge. That and well I really could not make it any worse....<br />
<br />
The serial number says this is about a 1973 Ovation Classical and as you can see it had a hard knock and some VERY bad repair attempts (multiple).. The deal was the owner simply wanted a playable instrument, cosmetics were less important as the guitar overall is pretty beat up..<br />

Step one was get rid of the wood screws!!!!!!!! Then clean up as much of the old glue as possible and try and get the parts to fit back together. This was the hardest part of this and I was worried I would not get the pieces back in any form that would be stable enough for the next steps.. Eventually got there and the two pieces were joined with medium CA glue..</div>

Then trying to add some colour to match the original and add some finish. Ovations finish is THICK so it was a bit challenging to get a good "seam" between the repair and the original but by using some UV Cure finish I got an OK result.</div>

Because of the condition of the guitar and time/cost considerations I did not do things like try and maintain the full neck center stripe. I prioritized playability over cosmetics..<br />
<br />
Here is the finished result with a new truss rod cover (old one was broken/missing) and all strung up back in one piece again..<br />

I should also give credit to where I got the idea for this repair method..<br />
<br />
It came from a Canadian Luthier Ted Woodford He's got a pretty good youtube channel and I really like his repair thought process..<br />

Well summer is done so all the home summer projects are either done or postponed until next year..<br />
<br />
Before I did take a break I did finish the two Parlour guitars so they are now up for sale.. The long scale Tenor guitar is almost ready for final polish and buff. and I'm preping for the next builds.<br />
<br />
Coming up will be a nylon sting crossover model in Mexican Cypress and Western Red Cedar.<br />
<br />
After that one is started I think I'll be working on a new Ukulele design similar to those of Jay Lichty, <a href="https://lichtyguitars.com/ukuleles/">https://lichtyguitars.com/ukuleles/</a> Jay has been kind enough to publish his basic design for a larger bodied long scale Ukulele. So I think I'll give a slightly modified version of that a try.<br />
<br />
There will also be another L-0 bodied guitar coming as I think that is a great size that fits between the Parlour and OM sizes.<br />
<br />
I've also been designing some changes to the basic way I build guitars. For several years now I've done a completely bolt on neck where the fingerboard extension is not glued down to the body and that works but the next logical extension of the is the raised fretboard guitar which will allow future changes to increase the vibrating area of the top> So I'll be doing that on upcoming guitars.<br />
<br />
Also I've been looking at arm bevels and scooped cutaways and looking for a way to do them on most of not all guitars with out over complicating things. So to that end I'm going to try some modeled after a version used by Ontario luthier Ted Woodford <a href="http://www.woodfordinstruments.com/home">http://www.woodfordinstruments.com/home</a>.<br />
<br />
So That should keep me busy for awhile..<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the completed Parlours<br />

<br />
In addition to those two I been working on what was originally planned as a Bouzouki but decided it would make an interesting long scale Tenor Guitar so that is what it will be. Neck is also done on it and the body is ready for finish..<br />
<br />
I'm doing a bit of finish experimenting and will be hopefully using a new UV cured finish from Solarez which looks pretty good on the bodies and French Polish on the tops of the two Parlour Guitars and may try CrystaLac Brite-Tone instrument finish on the Tenor.. We will see how it goes..<br />

Summer was busy with non-luthier stuff and life just gets in the way sometimes. I have however not been completely ignoring luthier work however. I've actually got a fair bit done over the last few months considering all the others things going on in life..<br />
<br />
First off someone in the small orchestra Julie plays in had a cello in need of repair/restoration. Turned out to be an Englehardt Cello, a pretty cheap student model but apparently pretty common in school music programs. The cello was the victim of and attempt at refinishing that was at best misguided.. It was also missing most of the parts like a bridge, tuning pegs, tailpiece and sound post. Anyway this got those parts replaces and a new finish put on it.. It is going back to a local music program, It was interesting to do as I am really not a repair person.<br />

Also the next builds are well underway, those are an Irish Bouzouki and a Octave Mandolin, both built as flat top guitar bodied instruments. The Bouzouki will be Rosewood and Spruce and the OM Honduran Mahogany and Cedar. I started by making the bindings for these, I've been meaning to try my hand and making my own bindings with purfling for some time so it was good to try that and it worked out great.<br />

Took longer due to just general life getting in the way but also a delay in getting one guitar back from finishing and me taking 3 weeks to get some more training in set up and fret work from a local expert. (Thanks <a href="http://www.nicolealosinacluthiery.com/" target="_blank">Nicole</a>).<br />
<br />
All three are now done and although they share the same shape that is about all they share.<br />
<br />
No.1<br />
Slight bearclaw Sitka top, White Oak back & sides 5 piece Spanish cedar neck and Rosewood trim. My version of a classic Gibson "H" bracing. Royal Lac shellac body & TruOil neck<br />
<br />
No.2<br />
Sitka top, Black Walnut back & sides 5 piece Honduran Mahogany neck and Maple trim. Standard Martin style "X" bracing with one tone bar. Finished with UV Cured Poly by <a href="http://vancouverguitarfinishing.com/" target="_blank">Vancouver Guitar Finishing</a> with a TruOil Neck<br />
<br />
No.3<br />
Figured Sitka top, Koa back & sides 5 piece Honduran Mahogany neck and Ebony trim. Double "X" braced ( the bracing I plan on using in general going forward). Finished with TruOil.<br />
<br />

Not the fastest thing to do either many coats of the chosen hand applied finish applied over days and day then left to cure for weeks or off to the finishing service which takes 4-5 weeks.. Thing are however getting close to done on these three..<br />
<br />
One will have a UV cured polyester finish, one hand applied Tru-Oil and one French polish with Royal-Lac hardened shellac, all will have Tru-Oil necks as they seem nice and fast to me.<br />
<br />
Hopefully all done in the mid June time frame..<br />

<br />
Always fun carving necks one of the more enjoyable parts of building a guitar.<br />
<br />

<br />
So her are three head plates for the L-0 guitars and three inlays, Koa, Walnut & Indian Rosewood with Black Lipped Mussel, White MoP and Gold MoP ...<br />

Same body shapes different backs and sides and different bracing patters but all Sitka tops.<br />
<br />
One of the goals of this build set is to refine and update a few procedures to work better with the space and equipment I have.. One thing that is very useful in building that I don't really have room to leave set up is a go-bar deck. So trying out using a vacuum bag and radius-ed work board to glue on top and back braces.<br />

Always a bit of a slow process and while that is going on I am starting on the next projects. in this case 3 guitars, based on the Gibson L-0 6 string.<br />
<br />
All 3 will have Sitka tops but that is about where the similarity stops.. The closest to a classic L-0 will have my view of the Gibson H bracing with a White Oak back and sides and Spanish Cedar neck. The next will have a pretty standard Martin influenced X brace with Walnut back and sides and a Mahogany neck and the last will have a double X brace with Koa back and sides and a Mahogany neck.<br />
<br />
It will be interesting to see how they all sound.. The double X brace design will I think become what I use going forward.<br />

That includes how I make fretboards. I've made a new jig to taper then and now use a set of specially designed router bits to radius the fretboards.<br />
<br />
The tapering method is not my invention but is shown several places on the internet including:<br />
