Wow! I should think that constructing a compound radius neck by hand would be a quite tedious and labour intensive task! I'm very impressed by your high level of craftsmanship. Bravo, sir!
Thank you for not putting that dumb 30 degree angle on the fret ends, I really hate when I see builder pulling out there homemade file in a block of wood just to cut that stupid angle. Very beautiful neck and great craftsmanship. ✌🏼
Wow. This blew me away. This is one of the nicest looking necks I've ever seen. I've got some lumber that I cut with my father from our farm. It would be incredible to make a guitar from it for sentimental reasons if nothing else. It's been drying for 10 years now. I just liked and subscribed. Cheers!
Learned a lot from your fret process. Made my very first neck recently and my fretwork came out... less than perfect haha. This will be a big help on my next one!
I just don't see how you can get the necessary accuracy needed with hand tools. Especially the fretboard radius, it will be all over the place using hand tools and accuracy is so important because if you're off the frets will not be level.
Gorgeous build! But that planer thing on the drill press is just maniac! I would rather cut off my fingers with an axe, at least that would give a clean cut. Why not just simply use the hand plane?
Because the machine tools are so much more precise. Use what you know and stay away from tools you are not sure of, you’ll keep all your digits in the long run.. 🤔✌🏼
Great work! could I bother you fore the name of the thing you put into the hole of the neck where it would connect to the body with bolts rather than screws? Thank you very much
That is called a Safe T Planer. You can find them on Amazon, but PLEASE take my advice and get the one from Stew Mac. Theirs is 10x better, stays sharp near forever, and only costs a little more. The off-brand versions are okay, but have problems with tear out and inconsistent cutting. It’s a hard learned lesson...
Hi that neck is just what I’m wanting to build. I don’t suppose you could tell me the angle required the scarf joint and what thickness the wood was you used before changing the thickness. Thanks
I try and install frets in such a way that any levelling is kept to a minimum and therefore little or no recrowning is needed. But for recrowning I have diamond fret profiling tools in 3 widths I bough from StewMac in USA.
@@flameguitars5770 I can understand you not wanting to make the video too long and I guess most viewers would be satisfied with that. It's great to see what you have done, but I'm a builder so I'm interested in all the little details that would probably bore most people. I readily appreciate the time and effort that goes into making youtube vids, especially well-edited ones, so I'm not trying to pressure you. But if you decided to make more detailed vids I'd definitely watch and learn.
He could make a video with all the steps and simply list the timestamp links in the description so anyone could skip anything they don't want to watch. Easy peasy.
Ben, many craftsman use different tools in different ways. It is absolutely not wrong. Nice work ... maby on your next video you can try to not skip so many steps
