The heel
I picked up a small job today which is gluing the heel to the neck. The neck will be anchored to the body at the 14th fret. So I used the fretboard to find the point where the heel should be glued to the neck.

Glue is applied to both parts. A problem with larger gluing services is that the two parts go drifting when they are clamped firmly. What I did to prevent for this phenomena is placing the heel onto the body and leave to tag for a good 5 minutes. Then gently put the clamps on and tighten them slowly. That worked very well.
The end result:
