I love when you make a mistake, Ben. I learn so much more from your "screw ups" than I do when everything goes well... 🙂

@Red_Robin_Guitars Год назад

That’s all truth, how to dog yourself out of a self made home is hard fought knowledge and if you can find that from someone else’s mistakes - might be just the ticket to get you out of a bind later

@paulneeds Год назад

Fascinating excision there!

@davidhill5684 Год назад

Great work there Ben! This kind of repair shows great skill. And we have the pleasure of learning something else!

@gargantula3274 Год назад

In my mind the mark of a great carpenter isn't being able to do everything perfectly, it's being able to adapt to things not being perfect, and once again you've proven to us exactly what that means. Fantastic work!

@Pete_Gribs 5 месяцев назад

Such incredible craftsmanship. Mesmerising. Thanks Ben! Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@Pete_Gribs 5 месяцев назад

Watching that chisel get purchase was so satisfying! Brilliant, Brilliant work!

@karlalton3170 Год назад

Ive come to the conclusion that your head Tattoo Ben is what gives you your special wood working skill's , so i am going to get mine done 😂😂 great repair dude 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

@imacinsj Год назад

Again, your work is second to none man. That’s incredible!

@jaungiga Год назад

Damn, marvelous job inlaying that matching piece of wood!

@kennethclinton9052 Год назад

Ben, I neither make or play the guitar, as a child I took lessons, but that is it. I watch and subscribe to your channel because you are wealth of information for me. I do build things to support my photographic work. In the past, I would have trashed miss-cuts and other problems. You have shown me how to look at the problem and come up with a solution. Thank you so much for your talents.

@pocketchange3543 Год назад

The definition of true craftsmanship isn't, not making mistakes. It's the ability to hid the mistakes you do make.

@clinthughes6121 Год назад

That’s bloody amazing Ben!! You’re such an inspiration mate. I can’t believe you hid that!!!

@barbarapreddy616 Год назад

Looks really good. Great job, Ben.

@Eeklex Год назад

Beautifully done, and excellently shot as well! -Paul

@1000nthInLine Год назад

the chisel section towards the end was so fun

@alexschmidt8214 Год назад

Looks amazing, love your work Ben👍

@paulbruno2998 Год назад

Great fix Ben it looks great. I love it when these things happen because then we all know the method to fix and how the result looks.

@davidwellings2783 Год назад

Bravo Ben! Makes the heart sing! Love this guitar and long to see/hear the finished beast! 🥰🥰🍷🍷🎸🎸

@sporadicamnesic Год назад

Brilliant work as always, Ben!

@Mr_CB Год назад

It was fascinating watching the headstock repair, thanks for making the video

@duanehill4911 Год назад

Masterful art and craftsmanship! Plus, you're an educator. Excellent video!

@wertawonka Год назад

Its is amazing how a man of your cal-eye-ber can still put himself down. You're awesome dude!

@TitlisBusyKitchen0 Год назад

New subscriber here. Not interested in guitars per se but I love watching you work with wood. Your attention to detail and your calm, sometimes self-deprecating style makes for compelling viewing. The Bob Ross of woodworking 😊

@Ruddigore Год назад

Lovely job. It's looking great.

@evasanders7327 Год назад

I think you did an amazing job on that fix... If it's off at all it's only by a mm or less

@artosirkia2121 Год назад

super awesome job Ben!!! 🖤

@JosephCarven Год назад

If you stoned enough and hanging around with a guitar at home, you just can start staring on it. Once I found an autograph of Vladimir Holstinin from russian metal band ARIA on the top of my second-hand BCR Warlock - not completely washed away permanent marker. I think I could find this repair too. Eventually.. Anyway this is a really awesome work. Always enjoying your videos! Thank you so much!

@anthonydevito1298 Год назад

Looks amazing Ben, you did a killer job. I think under the washer for the tuner, it will be totally invisible.

@JackBealeGuitar Год назад

You deserve to be very happy with that repair, mind blowing skills 😮

@jamescrisafulli2140 Год назад

I think it looks fantastic as far as grain match. I learned something today. Thanks Ben.

@richie_design Год назад

So impressive Ben!!! ❤

@streetmoto1384 Год назад

Phew, so glad I didn't win this after all, couldn't possibly live with that 🙄🤣 Great job and the patience of a saint 👍

@StevieScotty19 Год назад

That was amazing Ben👍👍👍Absolute top class big guy👍👍

@garymerrill4244 Год назад

Great save, Ben!

@peejay6930 Год назад

Far better than the "invisible mending" on my suit trousers

@kirkglover3350 Год назад

Looks great Ben !!

@koosb8162 Год назад

Hi Ben. I really enjoyed the diagnostic and solution finding process in this one, as well as the precision execution. And biltong chisel. Chur 🤘🤘🤘 I suppose the other option was to replace the entire inlay.

@stevencochrane115 Год назад

That was a magic mend, Ben. Outstanding!

@stealingtomorrowband Год назад

19:06 now that is a big ass chisel haha I wish i had the money and time to sign up for the building course.. that would be super badass.. Thanks for the content Ben .... Looking good . Watching your videos gave me the confidence to repair my bass

@mathieufoley2339 Год назад

there is not much better than seeing a skilled woodworker use an incredibly sharp chisel.

@peterschut63 Год назад

Great job Ben, I would not know/see if I didn't know 🙂

@rusty633 Год назад

Absolutely fantastic craftsmen ship

@kennethnielsen3864 Год назад

Thanks for sharing.

@cheapskate8656 Год назад

beautiful work

@andysfishingandflytyingcha2310 Год назад

Great repair mate! Defo invisible. I'm so looking forward to seeing it finished. Wish l'd won it though!!!

@davidmolina3520 Год назад

Awesome repair.

@shanethackeray1988 Год назад

Brilliant repair, way above my skill level.

@AnimalJohn85 Год назад

You clever fella, nicely done sir

Thanks!

@coderebel3568 Год назад

I didn't think about the flame matching up, but I did think the colour of the new piece might show where the joint is. But that was before you said it was a bookmatched piece. Beautiful repair! I think I would have just dug out the whole inlay and redo the whole thing, but this works too of course. I was a little surprised you didn't use a clamping coul/call/kal/coule/cal/couelle (plx forgive my spelling, not a native here 😅)

@martintaylor1758 Год назад

Fine job! Looks just like it was originally to me. Nice one. More SGs please and some Juniors, then Specials and then….

@ianthomson9363 Год назад

That's a very good repair. And a timely reminder to never have your fingers or any other body parts in front of a cutting edge! I have a half-inch chisel scar to remind me not to be so stupid again.

@ryanferris7841 Год назад

I knew that would never do when you first done it lol!! Glad you realised 👍

@TheHiphopdrunkie Год назад

maybe do a matte finish on the headstock to hide the flame, clear but less glossy. kind of counter intuitive but it might hide the flame. maybe a gloss truss rod cover to accent. love the builds keep up the great work ben

@frodedyb4866 Год назад

When you uses the sandpaper at the end: magic! 😅

@charlespiper2439 Год назад

The Japanese art of Kintsugi is accepting fragility, building strength and resilience, and taking pride in the imperfect. It looks great and don't beat yourself up so much!

@michaelmenkes8085 Год назад

Headstock veneer glueups are surprisingly picky. Over-clamp and use a caul I've jury-rigged a few solutions after mistakes.

@deacondoings Год назад

Beautiful work and education, where do I send my check for the training? God Bless

@trus3683 3 месяца назад

I had a wormhole in one of my fretboards. I like it, so I left it in the final.

@neilredelinghuys3263 Год назад

perfect actually....😊

@therabbitcanada Год назад

Ben!! Those clamps look like they need a de-rusting! :P

@TonyWalvish Год назад

Whether you’re a brain surgeon, airline pilot or luthier, what marks the true professional is having the knowledge and ability to act calmly when things go pearshaped

@danopticon 8 месяцев назад

Does this series end here? I was rather hoping to see the finished product, but I now see it’s been four months and nothing further added to the playlist. So perhaps this is it?

@mattomon1045 Год назад

Ben you tellus to turn a mistake's into a specal feature ! Ben you did great!!!!!!!!!

@smudgetherealmc Год назад

I love that giant chisel - how big exactly is it, as much as 1 1/2” maybe?

@bevo65 Год назад

I didn't figure out the flame issue before you did, but I'll take partial credit for asking whether the carving would reveal unmatched grain. What do I win? 😆 (PS: The flame isn't noticeable even without the tuners.)

@JTSabre Год назад

Jeez, when Ben was carving out the corner with a scalpel, some shavings popped out onto the headstock. I caught myself blowing gently on my phone screen to try and dislodge it... Lost in the moment! 😂

@donbishop6994 Год назад

Is the line visible? Yes it is. But, you would have to be looking VERY closely to see it and have your face a few inches away. Guaranteed from 3 or 4 feet away nobody would ever see that. Even a foot away it's almost impossible to see it. Amazing fix Ben.

@brittboyette461 Год назад

I think you might be missing an opportunity. What if you duplicated the motif of the fretboard and used the seem line of the new material to inlay a metal feature? Maybe duplicate it a second time on the opposite side as well. 4:30

@guitfidle Год назад

I reground 2 sets of the basic Marples (now Irwin) chisels to skews so I can get into corners like that headstock cavity. One set angled each direction / | and |\ Those babies come in so handy in so many situations. I was originally planning on getting another set to grind to curved edges as well, but that was right when they changed over to the new Irwin design that does not match.... 😒 First world problems, huh? 🤣

@billsguitargarage Год назад

My bet is that once the tuners are on, it will disguise the flame and it's gonna look great.

@brettgl21 Год назад

Damnit Ben! Ha! Nice.

@kerrywaters9586 6 месяцев назад

What happened to this guitar?? Was it finished? I need closure!

@kirstinkornblume3547 Год назад

A blind man would have loved to see this ♥️👌🏼

@dughuff8825 Год назад

Did we figure out the figuring? 🙂

@scwebb Год назад

Seems reasonable.

@JoeySchmidt74 Год назад

Noyse. I probably would have ripped the inlay out and made a new one, but I don't even have the skills to do what you did in the first place, soooo . . . 😆

@adrianhellstrom2927 8 месяцев назад

Did you ever finish this guitar? This was the last build video that I have seen.

@CrimsonCustomGuitars 6 месяцев назад

No. Not finished. We are hoping............

@oldshad65 Год назад

what happened to the travel guitar - did you give up?

@CrimsonCustomGuitars Год назад

Literally filmed the penultimate episode today.. goes live on Saturday all being well.. I'm a little scared she will implode and have been low key avoiding her for too long!

@TheWGLOVER Год назад

Amazing workmanship, but you really challenge yourself.

@jefferywarburton2116 Год назад

This is a good example of why metal workers don't like to play with woods.

@saulgoodeguitars 8 месяцев назад

Whatever happened to this?

@Amrtidy Год назад

Why didn´t you just take of all that wood and make new peace in headstock? Just asking.

@jamiekrautkremer9962 Год назад

Chatoyance … more like SHIToyance when you noticed the mistake am I right 🤣

@garethtravis1786 11 месяцев назад

"I only had 2 clamps" ... Ben nobody on this community believes that 😂 more like "only 200 clamps"

@borgonianevolution Год назад

its been hard to see smaller details like flame and grains since the change to the new studio. That close up lighting is brutal and everything specially lighter things is so washed out all the time. I didn't even notice any color in the piece you took out of the off cut until the last scene where it was not in the direct lighting. Even your face is over exposed it seems. Are they using HDR settings in the cameras or in editing? That would explain the changes as I see those same characteristics in video games with improper settings for HDR.
