Handling these types of tools, both electric and manual, is dangerous; you must read the instructions very well and take all safety precautions. Everything you do emulating what I do on this channel is under your responsibility. I do not recommend that you try anything that I do on this channel without first familiarizing yourself with all procedures and take all safety measures possible.
I tried a veneer once on a headstock, coincidentally a Jazz Bass, and it failed miserably. (Headstock was OK, veneer was not) After watching your amonia technique I might try again on a future project. But I'll probably wait to see how your gluing goes. 😉
I'm still a beginner, so I might take three tries to get a neck that is good enough to use. I've learned so many things, and I have the most expensive firewood in town.
I suffer from impostor syndrome horribly my friend. But hey, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it! But every mistake I make teaches me something new. We soldier on! 😊
I feel the same way. I have upped my 3D printers as I have progressed in the hobby. I have many tools that I have a cheap one to bang around, and a good one to use for more precise work.
Jason Calvert? I had a guy named Jason Calvert in my band in the 80s! I think it took about 10 minutes total between my jerry-rigged proband the iron. You can't rush it. I know that. It will work but everyone's mileage may vary as far as time. Of course I was able to drill into the neck to give it more exposure to the inside. So my case was unique.
@@scottmartinezguitarandbass My Dopelganger seems to be everywhere. I have a Chibson I'm about to tear about for no other reason than to get more use out of my 68 bucks.
Nice one ! Yours is the only video I have found showing how to make a template with a neck cutout to use with a set neck. The only other method i have seen is on the LP luthiers forum where many builders make a box jig to sit the guitar in after the neck has been glued and then rout using a template on the box “lid”.
@@scottmartinezguitarandbass cheers Scott. I like that clamp assembly on your drill press. Is that something you rigged up or is it a fitting you can buy. I have a great Fobco pillar drill but could do with a hold down solution like yours. Nice guitar too btw !!
@@petecoates6410 It's an aftermarket clamp, it's way too hard to hold a workpiece super still and be accurate - and my particular drill press jolts when I turn it on, and I would lose my mark after I carefully lined it up. HAHA. This clamp made it SUPER easy and comes in handy. I had to drill a hole in the steel of the table, but it was actually very simple. I love it! I just got this one on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJ3XZPL?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_15&=&crid=3F4FYQEE6JYHD&=&sprefix=milescraft+4007
Looking good! Like nothing ever happened....nice job! I personally, would have liked to have seen a little of the proceedure you used during the fix...turned out great!
Yes, I'm still getting used to making videos and this whole RU-vid thing, I will get better, I promise! Sometimes I get working and just don't think about it. :(
Good solution. They way you did the demo with using your arms and hands was so dangerous. Then not turning the drill off and setting up to demonstrate, is so dangerous. Please be safer around your power tools.
I'm sure by your perspective it was, but there was nothing unsafe about what I was doing. If I do feel unsafe, I don't do something. The drill bit wasn't anywhere within striking distance. Remember you're watching just a tiny portion of what is happening in real life, and there is depth and other things happening which doesn't translate to a 2D video.
