<p>Larry,</p>
<p>Thanks for the compliment on my process :-)</p>
<p>As for your question I had an MDF caul clamped to the front of the headstock and utilized a drill press instead of my "steady" hand. The sides held pretty strong due to the hide glue I chose to use (that stuff is awesome, normally the wood surrounding the glue joint is more likely to break than where the glue is).</p>

<p>I generally agree with not reviving old discussions but I missed this one the first time around. Trent's process is pretty clear and beautifully done but how did you re-drill those tuner peg half-holes after applying the new wood to the side, without risking tear out and a wandering drill?</p>

<p>Ron,</p>
<p>I kinda have to agree with Paul on this one; the repair has long ago been completed & pics posted of the repair are here: </p>

<p>As you can see form the above link I indeed put on a new veneer (with an unofficial Martin decal acquired from Frank Ford himself), but also routed out the side to glue new wood in order hide the initial crack-line from the side. It took a lot of patience & time, but totally worth the effort- I've never felt more like a luthier than when doing this labor of love.</p>

You could glue it like you stated then put a new peg head veneer over that<br />
