Well Thats a Great Start

Post by kiwigeo » Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:20 pm

Got some of Graham's Englemann glued up for a classical top and was drilling a hole for the router circle cutting jig and.....crack....split the two halves cleanly in two with the drill bit. This tuff is a bit more brittle than Sitka. Managed to clean up the two halves and get them back in the glue up jib. Spent the rest of the day sipping Eden Valley Riesling...not much chance of stuffing that up.

Did it split along the glue line? Were you using a brad point bit?
