That flat board with sandpaper! Of course! OMG, so simple and obvious once one sees it!
@20Posaunen

I’d really love to see much more of this type of hands-on woodworking demonstration and explanation for various parts of your builds. Your explanations of the tools you choose to use, what you’re looking to achieve (and carefully avoid) in each process, and some inside tips/tricks, are super interesting and helpful! It’s so cool to see the work in action AND hear the explanations. You also did a great job of balancing the talking time versus purely woodworking sounds in the audio without overpowering them with loud music - nice film/editing work!
@20Posaunen
@20Posaunen Год назад
Next, I’d love to watch and hear how you thickness the top plate. I assume this is a substantial part of achieving “your sound” consistently from one guitar to the next. Prospective questions to address: - How do you decide on the maximum and minimum thicknesses (or flexibility) in certain areas of the top? - Do you shoot for specific resonant pitches in certain areas of the plate? - What tools/techniques do you use to safely remove small amounts of material/stiffness/mass from specific areas? - Why those areas? More/less taper in certain grain directions? Near/between certain braces/bridge edges, etc.? - Are your bridge mass, profile, and height always the same, so you can rely on that as a constant factor to the plate thicknessing/voicing process? If not, how do you adjust? (Maybe also make a bridge shaping video?) - Do you dome your tops? What radius? Same radius for each top, or differently depending on stiffness of the specific board? Why? - How do you treat the back plate, relative to this top plate technique? (Maybe a brief answer to this, then make another video explaining/showing that process in detail?) In general, it’s not necessarily helpful/important to share your specific numbers for thickness or flexibility or frequencies, but it would be great to hear about the effects and relationships of those factors as far as you consider them important and controllable. Though, I’d love to know if you tune certain parts of the top & back in a specific interval (in a private message?)… Thanks! PS. You could call these your “hands-on deep dive” video series.

@Tom Sands two things I learned was using the wide sanding board to keep it flat and meaning both ends of the neck and working to the middle. That way, you don't get a swale in the middle.i agree that your finger tips are the best measure if there are imperfections. . By the way, my cousin was in the Philippines for 20 years and brought back hundreds of board feet of Macazzar Eboney and Narra wood. He died about a year ago, but his daughter is selling it now. She has maybe a hundred 10in x8 ft logs of both, and wide slabs of Narra. She lives in Santa Fe, NM. The Narra has a beautiful ring to it.

@@TomSandsGuitars Hi Tom, I'm just a hobbyist builder and I dearly want to raise my game. I've built 16 acoustics so far, all with dovetailed necks, which I find quite difficult. I notice nowadays many highly regarded luthiers are now using bolt on necks and I am now considering this option. I feel that the neck to body joint is possibly the most crucial (and difficult) part of the build. An advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Dave.

How I would do it and what I would suggest someone else do are different things and would be based on skill set, I would suggest practising on something first and seeing where your comfort level lies and go from there. It also depends massively on the neck wood, finish and how much you’re going to take off. Experiment!

I must have done my last 10 or more necks with whittling knives, I don't think there is a much nicer way to carve the transitions and much less sanding involved!

I guess it all depends on what you’re most comfortable with and the accuracy you want to achieve.

A question from a player rather than a builder: How does a Tom Sands' client (me for example 🤠) convey their desire about the neck profile on an ordered guitar to you as a luthier (or any other luthier) in a way that makes sense when you are carving the neck? This has always confused me, as a lover and collector of hand-crafted guitars.🤔 Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA

I was watching you with the Rasp and you mentioning a CNC. But there isn't a machine made that can out think and produce like our Eye's , Mind and down to our fingers ! Being from Deep in The Appalachian Mountains ,, I try to show my Heritage in my work , And Hate a Neck with a Poly or Goopy mirror finish ! it seems like it's so slick that your hand drags across it especially that little snag of skin between our thumbs and index ! Right now , I'm using only woods , native to our area ! Just to keep the the Heritage , But Black Walnut , Curly, Birdseye , Long, Hard maple , Poplar , Sourwood, Apple , Elm ... Bla Bla Bla . Hemlock , Spruce , are at my deposal ! I Had a Idea though while taking a break and watching your Video ,,, One of the Tributes to a Nice , hand hewn Ax handle is for it to be so slick , so you could swing it smoother ! But Ole Timers would take a Hot Iron and scallop the very top at the ax head and the very end , so they didn't throw it out of their hands ! So even though the Body have a finish and the neck satin finished , I'm going to make one so that the heel and head of the neck are slightly scalloped , if it turns out nice I'll send ya a pic !

I’d love to but I don’t use a dovetail, I use a bolt on mortise and tenon. There’s actually a video on that from a couple of years ago. 👍

Did we get a short glimpse of a dry fit with the body in this video as well, or was that just the brace? It'd probably be too late for this particular instrument, but I'd love to see how you handle some of those curlier, more intricately-grained woods you source, like with thicknessing the back or sides of something.
