How long does the Boiled Linseed Oil take to dry between coats. Did your finish eventually get dry and loose tackeyness ? I am in the middle of a boilded linseed oil finish on a tele body and neck. It seems to take a long time to get dry and sandable.
Everyone on luthier discussions says wipe on poly sucks. Im not sure what is is even used for. Ive learned never to clear coat until I get a proper gun to spray at high pressure with fine fine texture. No rattle cans ever again. Probably sticking to boiled linseed oil on the body as well as the neck, which means the body must be stained not painted. I think BLO would go over that red trans. Beuatiful as HELL btw.
I agree with you 💯! I think for my next builds to go with high build oil like the crimson’s one. No more rattle can until I get a proper spray gun. Thanks for sharing!
How many guitar players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: One, but the three others in attendance would say they could of done it faster, better or with more feeling. Nice job on the git fiddle. Keep doing your stuff and get some heat in that shop.
This is so cool to see! I am doing a build with a roasted maple neck which needs to get darker to match the roasted swamp ash body. This method looks like a good way to go. A few more coats in the neck and freatboard to match the tones. Would you recommend any brand in particular? I like the tone in yours and the lack of yellowing. Keep the awesome videos coming. Lots of help for noobs like me. You have a new subscriber. Have a great day! Sebastian
Thank you for the kind words!! I don't have a particular brand to suggest you..I used the one that was available at my local store!! I think any kind of linseed oil would do the job perfectly :)
It’s based on that but I don’t have the finished shape at this point. I’m looking to cut away some of the shape to my desire! I’m making some changes on that design….
В таком холодном помещении где даже пар изо рта идёт у мастера 😮. Какой инструмент получится? Гриф при нормальной температуре вывернет, а дека треснет...
I don't let the wood to sleep outside at this temperature. It always inside the house. Only if I work on the guitar it's outside. And it wasn't that cold. Maybe 5 to 10 celsius!!! ;)
Thanks my friend!! I made a little mistake on the 12th fret inlay. But I will recover from this. I have an idea ;) !!! I’m taking my time on this one !!
No I did not sand between coats. But if I'll do this kind of neck finish, next time I would rub the neck with scotchbrite pads between each coats. But the finish is really nice and smooth in the first place!!
@@sebsguitarworkshop yeah okay cool :) i was slightly worried you left it unglued after checking it 😂 But yeah definitely a beautiful guitar, keep up the great work :))
@@thingsandstuff4900 It's hard to show everything it takes to make a guitar in a youtube video!!! It's a 40 min video and I barely scratch the surface of how to build a guitar 😅
@@sebsguitarworkshopanything past 220 is overkill for staining tbh. At that point the saw dust gets so fine that it starts filling in the little gaps in the wood and makes the stain penetrate less. It came out amazing nonetheless
@@piptyson5512 The only problem is that right now its below 0 celcius (or below 32F ) its winter here 😅!! But thise summer I'll be able to do something like that!!
No workshop, no problem! Just channel your inner MacGyver and start crafting that flame maple Tele in your living room. You just need some basic tools like a saw, chiesels, sandpaper and wood glue :) !!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support. Woodworking has been a passion of mine for about 2 years now! For the build, its going great! It's my 4th guitar build and i'm getting better each time. Mistakes will be made but its part of the process ;) !!
Haha, looks like we have a guitar enthusiast here! Don't worry, you're not alone. Guitarra and violão have stolen the hearts of many music lovers. Keep rocking!
The oil will make a smoother finish to the touch. It will seal the wood but it will wear down more quickly.. so you’ll have to do it again in a few years. I’m always trying to try other methods to finish neck but so far this is my favourite!
Siiiick build! Sorry if it’s stated somewhere already but did you use Angie for the body? It looks like anigre from where I’m standing but it could also be another species. This is more so a “hey I think I know that grain pattern” style question hahah.
I didn’t used any paint on the neck! Just cover the neck with linseed oil. 3 or 4 coats of oil and that’s it ! If you have other questions don’t hesitate :)
