I like your work!!! It shows great craftsmanship and skill.

@murphvienna1 2 года назад

Tool Snob give or take - whenever I see you working with chisels or handplanes, all of this boils down to beautiful craftsmanship ❤

@HardwareLust 2 года назад

Hi Chris, I'm one of those people that will probably never build a guitar, but I find it very interesting to see how you do what you do so keep it up!

@briwood6328 2 года назад

I got the same screwdrivers about 5 years ago and still the best I've got/had great videos by the way man👍✌

@dalgguitars 2 года назад

Great tools for great outcomes! Buy once; cry once. Nobody ever regrets getting the best. Every great tool I have is a pleasure to use. Every cheap tool I have is frustrating to use. Thanks for all your videos!

@louloriente7726 2 года назад

Thanks Chris, watching you're video's gives me the encouragement to give it a try myself. I still very interested to see how you bind a the sides on an Arm Bevel. I love you guys!!!

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

We’ll be covering that in the 3000 year old guitar series soon! Thanks for watching

@OxaudioPhilly 2 года назад

Beautiful work. Subbed and you deserve more!

@bldallas 2 года назад

Very cool guitar build; the wood color variations on that back are amazing and the abalone perf makes it look really classy. Great stuff. Regarding tools: (1) quality is important (you get what you pay for), and (2) always use the “right tool” for every job (the right tool makes work easier, safer and produces the best results).

@CMRWoodworks 2 года назад

Awesome. Thanks for teaching how to do this. I learned something new!

@jipes 2 года назад

Very smart and beautiful work as usual

@frankmoore1644 Год назад

Thanks. Lots of fun to watch.

@Sammywhat 2 года назад

Clicked for the tutorial, stayed for the naphtha, gave a thumbs up for Chris' wisdom and humble approach - two wonderful traits that make this channel such a treat!!

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

Thanks as always!

@hkguitar1984 2 года назад

Back when I worked as an Aircraft Instrument Technician it wasn’t unheard of to spend $65 or a single pair of tweezers for working with hair springs. That was the 1980s and to this day I use those very same tools

@erikkibler3466 Год назад

Much respect

@scaira60 2 года назад

Chris this is awesome Iam getting ready to install abalone on my 2 parlor guitars I’m building for my Sons. I have never done abalone purfiling before but I did buy the Teflon strips hopefully I can get this done without screwing it up cause as you said it’s not cheap. Thanks & God Bless🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸🙏👨🏻‍🦯👨🏻‍🦯

@SweetTGuitars 2 года назад

Pickups, I really love MojoTone Modern '59 Humbuckers. I used one and 2 '58 quite coil single coils I'm my GGBO-21 build and they sound really great! Made in North Carolina

@duncancrittenden9422 2 года назад

probably one of the best guitars you guys have done. whoever the amazing guitar is going to must be an absolute stud

@duncancrittenden9422 2 года назад

yeah man he must be an absolute stud to own that thing

@DriftwoodMatt 2 года назад

Yeah too bad he likes Hanson

@Setsofiah Год назад

Cool! Just tried it on my first scratch build. Mine was supposed to be .047 (that's what my teflon was) but it turned out to be .051. No biggie, just took the strips of abalone down on 220, exactly 16 light passes to get 'er into the channel. Turned out really nice!! Now for the neck build.

@arcarioandsons 2 года назад

I just hope you guys know how much your humor is appreciated for those of us that remember Hanson lol

@michaelfoxfoxster469 2 года назад

Really helpful man now I just need to see how you make the channel and I can start on my B.C. Rich Beast kit build.

@SkyscraperGuitars 2 года назад

Great demo!

@TheJeffcurran 2 года назад

Excellent video.

@RICFAZMACH 2 года назад

Awesome Vídeo, thanks! A big hello from Brazil!

@ErnieB 2 года назад

Unconsciously excellent. Takes nerves of steel to use a razor-sharp chisel to bevel a purfling strip on the back of your guitar, but you didn't give it a second thought. Just went ahead and shaved a new bevel. You didn't look at the back, afterward, so you knew you never made contact. Colour me impressed.

@moogoomoogoo5990 2 года назад

It made me nervous when he did that.

@apiletal 2 года назад

Good tutorial. Very nice. 👍🏻

@waltersguitars3336 2 года назад

@Amrtidy 2 года назад

Nice work!!!

@WysteriaGuitar 2 года назад

No way I could do that without messing up - Kudos to you!

@paullanier8280 2 года назад

You are so skilled ! ! ! But I did find one of our butter knives with odd indentations on the back of the blade part. Wife said she had to hammer something hard in the house. Thank goodness I work stainless steel. Back to the shop for half hour .

@migrantfamily 2 года назад

A chap I knew referred to his hammer as _den amrikannska skruvmejseln_ “the American screwdriver”.

@davidcook5994 2 года назад

Awesome tools mean you are a high-achieving craftsman. Respect!

@scottakam 2 года назад

Super cool. Nice save on the screw hammer. Probably saved some keyboards from being damaged by all the angry typing!

@walterrider9600 2 года назад

thank you Chris and Matt. do not worry about a miss spoke we all do it when we are trying to show someone how to do something . is your purfling wood or what ? i see stew mac selling plastic stuff what i would think would absorb the sound you work hard to get . oh and do not sweat the haters on tools . we buy what we can and need

@mspring6387 5 месяцев назад

Great and thorough instruction! Do you have a video that shows the methods and tools you use to route out that channel around the entire border??

@Lonnie.Macs.Garage 2 года назад

Excellent as usual! I have been using the Abalone ZipFlex. Feels like I'm cheating! I'll have to give this a go!

@dakotamorgan6594 2 года назад

I'm about to fo my first set of binding and was going to use the zip flex just to ensure I don't screw it up

@robhayes6060 2 года назад

Does Matt count as an expensive tool? 😂Have to say worth every penny for the banter you guys have.

@dalgguitars 2 года назад

stunning

@njordfors1588 2 года назад

In my heart of hearts I feel against tropical woods but UGH GOTDAMN that's a pretty backplate

@danstiverson 2 года назад

Excellent video. Thanks for the info. Where do you get your Teflon strip?

@RedMercuryBluesBand 2 года назад

beautiful...............

@apiaryandy2478 2 года назад

You may want to try using a spline tool for installing screens in windows for the Teflon strip. It has a concave roller. Just a thought.

@danielbuckner2167 2 года назад

Good idea but they dont handle tight curves well. He could cut one down of course or make a roller.

@gimarr 2 года назад

First off, regarding tools, whoever criticized you for buying nice tools is an idiot. As with any craftsman or especially in your case being both a craftsman and artist tools are everything! Tools are what makes it possible for producing such great guitars. Keep up the great work and the collection of great tools.

@christianstave6757 2 года назад

Nice work, where do You order the abalone sticks?

@AB-ye6cl 2 года назад

G'day from Australia, What is the best way or any products that will preserve the binding from shrinking or cracking on a guitar. After having a guitar crack on sound board on a 20 year old Tokai due to drying out it got me thinking about the binding, fingerboard and how I could prevent any other damage? Awesome channel Two Thumbs Up.

@drvnlp6269 8 месяцев назад

Where did you buy the headset magnifier with all the lights? I looked all over and can't anything like those with the 8 LEDs. Those are nice

@stevefussell6463 2 года назад

Just wondering how process to glue changes on the top since spruce yellow with super glue and accelerate

@Badhands55 11 месяцев назад

What would you want to install that on the top of a telecaster body?

@overtonesnteatime198 2 года назад

Can i replace the binding on my vintageacoustic??? I want to upgrade it a pearl or abalone

@robertnewell5057 2 года назад

Exemplary. Thank you so much. I never saw it done this way before. I've been fitting the purfling, the abalone (flexible - no teflon) the purfling the binding, Doing the binding first is weird, but it obviously works. How do you fit the binding without having it tilt over when there is nothing to support it at the top? Or are you routing the purfling, etc strip once the binding is fitted. I did this on a repair in order to preserve the binding, and frankly it was a pucker moment. Also, I don't understand what you mean by the end graft 'wrapping round' - do you just mean it comes up through the binding???? And finally, superglue on spruce top as well? I had problems with discolouration - shellac first? The round of applause at the end is well deserved, by the way.

@briandesjardins728 3 месяца назад

Do you use them for rosette as well? I was curious of the flexible ones but I don't like the segmented lines. To me they really jump out and look kinda cool, i like the old school broken look myself

@dobietoms1463 3 месяца назад

Have you ever tried french polish guitar finish

@paul_love_guitar1082 Год назад

HI Chris, I'm just wondering where we can get such a long Abalone? Love to buy some. Thanks.

@twohandsguitarcompany 2 года назад

Do you also use a Teflon spacer when you install your binding in order to keep a consistent space for this step?

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

Most people do, but I don’t.

@docjoe1 Год назад

Have you had any experience with Zipflex? It looks like they're more expensive but also a little easier to use (although you do make it look quite easy).

@drvnlp6269 8 месяцев назад

Did you make your own laminated black/white purfling or buy it?

@mrhalvi 11 месяцев назад

K and K pure mini pickups the best.

@BluesInSeattle Год назад

What bit was used to cut the channel?

@alexwoolridge94aw 2 года назад

I've always wondered how abalone was applied to guitars. Really cool. I dislike it on acoustic guitars because I prefer a more stripped down bare bones acoustic but cool to see it being done

@troystaten5633 2 года назад

You can never have too many nice tools.

@scottriddle5468 2 года назад

hey chris i love your channel . im wondering what size pufling you are using ? thanks in advance. scott

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

I use the StewMac .02” and .04” stuff

@BradRemillard 2 года назад

Excellent video. Where do u buy the teflon strips? I don’t see them on AST website?

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

I just added a link in the description. www.lmii.com/478-teflon-strips

@malleusdei 2 года назад

Just gonna casually use a chisel to cut stuff on the back of the guitar, don't worry about it 😱

@danielbuckner2167 2 года назад

You said "Super thin high viscosity"? Did you mean a thin tip high viscosity or a thin bodied low viscosity?? I like those pressurised sprayers, any preferred brand? Thanks!

@hkguitar1984 2 года назад

How was binding like this installed before the development of super glue?

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

With hide glue I assume, but what a mess!

@MathewCohenProject 2 года назад

What is that/where did you get the spraying container for your naptha?

@justinwheeler6883 2 года назад

I was wondering the same thing! My spray bottles always clog up with naptha

@jerryholt5838 2 года назад

Hey Chris - I noticed that the Advanced Shell Technologies Abalone strip is .064" while the teflon strips at LMI are .063". Is that a big deal? The other two sizes available at LMI (.079" and .094") match up with the AST strip sizes. Should I go with the sizes that match up since I am new to the process?

@DriftwoodGuitars 2 года назад

It’s not an issue at all.

@larscw74 2 года назад

You did something right because you got a dislike. You disturbed someone:-) Thanks for sharing this, it's really cool.

@bethanygresoski3126 2 года назад

You and Tom Bills should do some videos together. I think they would go over well.

@daviddowler1047 2 года назад

I've heard some folks call that hammer a "Tonya Harding."

*DANG!! That is a LOT of pearl on one instrument. It's Linerace's guitar. LoL!!*

@petermorello1051 2 года назад

Do you use timber, fiber or plastic purflings?

Fiber and timber

I finally found a video with not as much comments. I've found a video you might like and appreciate, if you haven't seen it already. Documentary about Masaki Sakurai Japanese maker.

@scottkidwell3601 2 года назад

A true journeyman is capable of making their mistakes look intentional 😉 Also, in many cases, better tools make for easier work. You get what you pay for. How many $5 screwdrivers do you want to buy over the course of your working life?

@jaredcaldera 2 года назад

You don't think maybe using a rubber mallet as opposed to the hammer would prevent any risk for damage?🙂

@sigfreed11 2 года назад

I wish I could be entered for the drawing! I want to donate so badly 😭

@bookingboy 7 месяцев назад

Just so you know number 10 CA glue is LOW viscosity, not high. High viscosity is thick, low viscosity is thin.

@chrisraatz6672 2 года назад

Do the same guys commenting on your tools request their surgeons to bring along to theatre the cheapest or bare minimum of equipment? I think not.

@alexwoolridge94aw 2 года назад

But people seriously give you crap for using top notch tools? Wow lol. You need good tools that last to get good results. We don't buy tools from Harbor freight for the body shop I work at. Hell we have a $25,000 spot welder. Stuffs pricey
