DLP Les Paul Prototype - 33 - Ouch... Split!

Ouch... While I was drilling the hole for the output jack I heard a disturbing noise and noticed the side started to split!  I had to open the split and clean out the dust and debris from drilling the hole and apply some Titebond into the split and then clamp.

 

I'm glad this is a prototype and not a 'production' build.  The split has closed up nicely and a little filler should make the repair invisible.  I was hoping to start painting later but this might put me back another 24 hours.
I had managed to drill all the control holes and bridge holes before this happened though.
