I found this quote kinda funny:
" Typically a glued joint is stronger than the surrounding wood and I would bet money there's enough glue in this joint that if it ever happened again it would crack in a different spot. How much money would I bet? How much ya got, if it's enough I'll break it again to find out ;o}"
Notice how he said he'll break the neck "again" to win the joke bet.
Did Rich actually break a
Jem neck for the reason to show how to fix a broken neck. Or was the neck breaking an accident?
