I show you how I made this guitar neck support on the table saw using cove cuts.
The dimensions of the neck rest are 7" long, 3 1/2" high and 3 3/8" wide (18cm long, 9cm high and 8.6cm wide)

Thanks bro, way better than $40 from stew mac, and learned new use for table saw! I'm new at this woodworking thing, but thanks to people like you it's getting easier. Thanks again!

+Matthew Deedrick You're welcome :)

Five years after the fact, I came across this video when looking for ideas to make a neck rest/holder for changing strings and cleaning my guitars. I really liked this model so I built it and also made a stand for the guitar body as well. Learned to do cove cuts too. Nice job!

@Billo1281 8 лет назад

That cove cut was awesome, man! Great video.

+Billo1281 Thanks :)

@stephenquail3168 8 лет назад

that was really neat. I love that cove cut method, unbelievable.

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Stephen Quail Thanks! It's pretty crazy isn't it...!? to be able to make such curved cuts on a table saw?

very good video I used the tablesaw to make cove molding I had to match on a job 20+yrs ago, its a great trick not to many people know.

@Projectelectricguitar 7 лет назад

Thanks Scott! Yes it's a great trick!

That was extremely interesting. Nice work on the final product!! I have a table saw but this is the first time I've ever heard of a cove cut.

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+gsuderman Thanks. It's pretty amazing all the things that can be done with a simple table saw!

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Lim Peacock Thanks. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. Once I got over the hurdle of understanding the cove cut, the whole thing was quit easy to make.

@peteqwerty51 2 года назад

If only I had patented the idea before I sent it to StewMac! That said, I did actually copy a similar neck rest from another guitar tech when I worked for Washburn UK ( that must have been about 1989) so it wasn’t mine originally . Hope whoever makes one has fun with it. Pete T. Cambridge UK

@brucerobinson3288 3 года назад

@stevesoldwedel 5 лет назад

Great video, Araz. You are a natural teacher. Have you thought about drilling a couple holes in the rest to turn it into a caul?

@Projectelectricguitar 5 лет назад

Thanks Steve. Yes actually I have thought about it but so far I have not needed that feature...

Very nice job and great idea. I need to find a way to make a neck rest, but I do not have a table saw. I am basically limited to my Radial Arm saw and a shallow depth reciprocating type saw and some hand tools. Any ideas? Thanks and nice job on your neck rest. Great idea...

@derred723 7 лет назад

Another idea might be to carve one out of styrofoam packing inserts from large appliances. Like those large blocks that protect corners and sides.

@Projectelectricguitar 7 лет назад

Sure, that's not a bad idea... but I don't know if styrofoam will be sturdy enough...?

@derred723 7 лет назад

Possibly not for the professional that's going to put a ton of use to it and put a lot of wear and tear on it. I was thinking more for the person in their home or the hobbyist that's doing repairs or set ups of simply his own guitars.

@davidarmstrong7903 6 лет назад

Were you using 1" thick pine (which is actually 3/4" thick + or -)?

@Projectelectricguitar 6 лет назад

That video is 3 years old so I don't remember but I watched it again again and yes, it does look like 1x4" pine (which is actually 3/4" think + or -)

@peteyuckly4628 5 лет назад

great video!! yeah.... that's all you have to do. haha!!! Nice work!

@mellery451 8 лет назад

what are the approximate dimensions of the block before you start coving it? Thanks.

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Michael Ellery The dimensions of the blank are 3.5"W x 7"L x 3.75"H.

@mellery451 8 лет назад

+Project Electric Guitar perfect - thanks!

@SteveH4es 5 лет назад

Can you tell me the reason for putting the Tung oil on after the cork? Will it no adhere if it gets coated first

@Projectelectricguitar 5 лет назад

I tend to apply finishing products once the piece is finished and all the sanding is done, including the sanding that is needed after the cork is glued on.

@msolbakken 6 лет назад

nice woodworking skills! I would have used leather instead of the cork. Other than that, I will try your design. Thanks

@Projectelectricguitar 6 лет назад

Thanks. Leather should work fine as well...

@msolbakken 6 лет назад

I used a vintage straight grain redwood 4 X 4 I had laying around & set up a guide for the cove cut. I made several passes and tested it on my guitars. I didn't want to make it too deep and have the fret ends inaccessible. I also made the cove cut wide enough so I could flip the neck if need be and have it supported. Lastly, I hand tapered the cove a little to follow the taper of the necks. I covered the cove & top with soft leather from a flea mkt. find. Turned out great! thanks for the video.

@drewbacca1981 6 лет назад

What are the dimensions of the 2nd cove cut?

@Projectelectricguitar 6 лет назад

To be honest, I don't remember anymore... I'll figure it out again if I ever need to build another one... and then I'll post it in the description of this video.

@stevebenson526 5 лет назад

ahhhhhh you didn't give the overall demensions of the glued up wood at the beginning just the 5/8" center opening

@jimbo1959 9 месяцев назад

Wow! All I need is $10,000 worth of machinery to make a $10 part! Great!

@ronaldososa1975 8 лет назад

can you shows us (me, just me), when & how to use it ?=?? great job ;)

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Ronaldo Sosa Thanks. If you are a guitar player, and you don't repair or build guitars, then this neck support is not very useful. It's mainly used for neck and fretboard work. It's used by guitar builders and repairmen to provides steady support while fret dressing, fret repair, fretboard sanding, fretboard oiling, putting strings on the headstock, etc. Basically it elevates the neck and headstock off the table and stabilized the whole guitar for repair and build work. I hope this answers your question.

@ronaldososa1975 8 лет назад

+Project Electric Guitar thanks i know that,but you use it when you need to straight the neck for example? where you put it? in which fret? an you make a vid??? please!!!!!!! keep on rockin' ;)

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Ronaldo Sosa It's not used to straighten the neck. This neck rest is simply like a pillow... In order to straighten the neck itself, you need to adjust the truss rod.

@ronaldososa1975 8 лет назад

+Project Electric Guitar yes, just an example, but not a good one ;) can you do a vid when you use it?? i understand all the above, but i need to see it, sorry

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

+Ronaldo Sosa If you need to see it then just watch the video... at the end of my video I use it with a guitar. Even better, here's a video from StewMac showing the same neck rest: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ghcd2WMCnGQ.html

@larrybradley8160 8 лет назад

it would be helpful to duplicate this object with basic dimensions.

@Projectelectricguitar 8 лет назад

Here are the dimensions of the neck rest: 7" long, 3 1/2" high and 3 3/8" wide (18 cm long, 9 cm high and 8.6 cm wide). I now added this information in the description area of the video. Thanks.

@potaylo 7 лет назад

how deep is the cove cut that the neck rests in? at lowest point

@potaylo 7 лет назад

never mind I watched it again and you marked 5/8 depth at about 1:30 in the video. thanks great video

@ouncy 7 лет назад

Just buy a cheap wooden fence post if you can't find wood thick enough.

@Projectelectricguitar 7 лет назад

That's a good idea! A 4x4" should be just about the right size!
