Contest #4, oh man!
Well, youse guys cannot seem to solve #3, so here's an easy one (maybe).
There are 3 elements in the set-up pictured. Tell me what each element is and what it does, along with the repair operation, and the mizrab is
yours!

hey Doc, does it have anything to do with setting the pegbox in at the proper angle to the neck?

nope, not reseting the peg box.
No more pictures are necessary, everything is being done from this side.

Either fixing peg holes, or fixing gaps between ribs.

Damn, fast forward got there before me, but my guess is it's for drilling and reaming peg holes. The block held by the G-cramp goes between the pegbox
walls and stops the grain ripping out on the inside. The jig with the hand clamps holds the whole thing together. (Presumably you're reparing the
pegbox without actually taking it off). I can't see a third element and haven't a clue what the paper is for.

you get an attaboy for guessing 2 of the 3 elements and the repair procedure. Take a closer look. If you tell me what the paper is for I might give it
to you.

Well, I think I've exhausted my lucky guesses for today but here's one more throw of the dice: do you use the holes drilled in the paper as a template
for the other side of the pegbox? This would make sense if you wanted to make sure you were always drilling inwards, rather than just going straight
through in one go.

The thurd element is the red "no slip" carpet pad. The purpose is to prevent the oud from scarring the fine finish on the table. The red color is to
match those palduk ribs. The paper has instructions on it, like "keep drilling", "get milk", "dentist 2pm Monday", "Rita 555-1234".

OK, I'm declaring DaveH the winner of this one. U2U me or send your shipping address to droud2002@yahoo.com
Dave got most of it right and I sorta gave that away, so if anyone completed the answer they would only get 1/4 of a mizrab anyway.
fernandraynaud is not eligible as he won a mizrab in contest #1. and btw,
Rita gave me a different phone number!
The bowel is walnut and mahogany.

Oops, sorry I should have checked back sooner - I'd given my entry up for dead. I'm honoured. Sent the address by U2U.
So what was the full answer?

Dave got the pegbox re-drill procedure, the pegbox support block, and the neck support right. The paper is to avoid gluing the pegbox to the block
while gluing the plugs in. The 3rd element is a spacer block, wrapped with a red rubber mat, that lifts the oud to align the pegbox wall with the
support block.
thanks to everyone for participating, and if you are interested, here's a shameless plug for the Construction book:
