Hi, Wondering if anyone has info to share....links, pics, videos, of methods to do a bolt on fretboard? This seems like a good additional to a bolt on neck and not too hard to do....add a platform to the neck block extending inward toward the sound hold, glue a piece to the bottom of the fretboard extension, and route a recess into the top/neck block extension to receive it, add an insert and bolt...? Best materials, order of work, grain direction, and so on... thanks!

this kind of thing...https://goreguitars.com.au/main/page_in ... joint.html

are you talking about bolt on to the top?
I have seen a few methods

The best one I have seen was planned with the neck block. A cantilever on the neck block was machined with a slot. There fretboard had a piece of brass screwed using the 19th fret. It used 2 small dots to hide the screws that went through the cantilever.

I've scratchbuilt five with fingerboards whose extensions bolt to the body. I suggest a review of the process described by Luthier's Cool Tools.

Great link thanks!

Here is a link to exactly how I make the Double Mortise and Tenon neck joint. All measurements are given so that anyone can adapt this method for their own use.
