A little further work on the viol fingerboard. Sort of. This is a dummy fingerboard and a dummy bridge made solely for the purpose of working out the geometry of the parts. The dummy bridge was made to the pattern shown on my plans. With the cedar fingerboard I was able to determine that I needed to lower the surface of the neck where it joins the body. That done, I am now confident that my parts will align into the right neighbourhood. Presently, with a 2mm spacer sitting at the nut, a straight edge has 6mm clearance over the end of the fingerboard. This is a mid-range value based upon the info that members here provided to me last week, for which I am grateful. I can now proceed on the actual parts confident that there will be range for fine-tuning.
