Wasn't too bad really. glued two at a time, one on each side until there was a firm tack and added the next couple. The interesting bits were at the edges where there wasn't much of a gluing surface.
Got a bit on this thing done today. Flattened the top. Sandpaper and a straight beam. Knackered, but thankful that the joint isn't as obvious as I first though. Think if may have been down to something Scott was talking about in another thread about sanding a slight bevel to the edges when jointing.
Frets in too after taking down the fretboard thickness slightly rardiusing to 16inches and flattening . all seemed to seat fine except for 14th which went in and came back out a couple of times - thankfully no chips. Surprisingly no hammer rash either. I don't think the slot was big enough. Not sure if this is the best way to do it but I nipped the tangs from the ends of the wire, filed smooth with a dremel and hammered in. Couple of firm taps on the edges to seat and then go to town on the middle. Small drop of ca wicked into the join between the overhang and the binding and nip of the end. Couple of slots needed deepening, but no issue with a Japanese saw.
If I do any more of these I may look a fret press, but for the time being, hammering seemed to work OK..
