The plane was very sharp, the work went quickly and I was very happy with the joint. I used fresh hide glue and a rubbing joint with just two light clamps.

I finished sanding and details on the varnish and separated the two parts to dry and cure. It will be strange not to be able to work on the bass but at least I have the tailpiece to do. And plenty of other tidying and reorganising and repair work.
