I came here for your comment on Paul Seller's video about wood fibers! and what I found is exactly what I was looking for for a long time, hand tools only electric guitar making!😀
amaizing build, im really inspired because im a beginner in guitar building and i dont have a lot of money for power tools, yet you do it all perfectly
I have tons of power tools and machines, but my late father and I bought all the hand tools we could afford. Thank the Lord he taught me how to use them. Great video, keep up the great work,
16:14 This video series seems to be coming to a real head 🥁😅 Seriously though super impressive build so far. Im preparing for my 1st hand chiseled humbucker route on Tele style body.🤞
I'm happy whenever I can inspire someone, thank you! The level of talent in this contest is so high that I'm not counting on placing very well. I'm just happy to spread the hand tool and guitar building inspiration!
Perfect timing. I screwed up my truss rod access hole this weekend and was trying to figure out a way to fix it. Boom! You nailed it. And it looks cooler that way. Thanks again for a great and inspiring video. I saw where you added a little more tape and did the fall away filing of the frets. Did you do that from fret 15 &16 down??
Thanks! I just had to fix that access, even if it would be hidden behind a cover 99% of the time. I don't know the exact fret I started the fall away from, I just guesstimated it based on the depth of the neck pocket.
What do u think about order of joining fretboard and neck. Do u glue them and than shape the neck,or shape the neck and fboard and then glue them. Also would u put frets in before gluing them? Thx
I usually radius the fretboard and cut the fret slots before glueing. After glue I press the frets and last I carve the neck profile. There's no "correct" way to do it really, but this way works for the tools that I have.
