Making Side Bending Jigs (Ep 2 - Acoustic Guitar Build) 

I absolutely love the simplicity of both these molds!!! Great job on this video!

Very clear, very concise, very helpful. Good stuff man!

Great jigs Adam :) I like the idea of the air gap in the bending jig. Thank you ॐ

Excellent work and a great video. Thank you for providing this resource!

Thank you. I am launching on my first guitar - an OM from LMII. Very very helpful. Thank you!

Awesome video. Very easy to follow.

Perfectly explained, great job👍

You are one clever guy! Good job!

Great timing, I get to see another great video before I leave for vacation. Love to watch you work and will have something to look forward to when I return. Keep them coming.

This was amazing

Great video!

My dad used to build furniture and bent wood into some incredible shapes using laminates, with no spring back or movement once bent. I applied the same logic to the sides, by using two to three thinner pieces glued and clamped into the mold, you end up with very stable sides that are much less prone to cracking. You also end up with a consistent shape on every guitar. I noticed with a larrivee I own the shape is slightly of, one issue with conventional side bending its not always accurate

Thanks buddy!

Holy crap these are good. A+

Very good Sir

Great work! I want to attempt to build one myself I’m really happy to come across your videos! Where did you get the template from?

Very nice!! Some day when I have space, I'll be looking at this vid to make a guitar. Should have made a dreadnought body instead of the same one. :-)

I used laminate sides, using two or three thinner pieces, glued and clamped into the form. I was surprised at the simplicity of this method.This prevents spring back and the sides are more stable and therefore less prone to cracking due to humidity or clumsiness

Well..., I didn't forget to hit subscribe ... I'm looking for this kind of stuff since maybe some weeks ago, but only found some well extended about spanish guitar, and others very abridged about acoustic ones. 600 bucks tends to scare me, for the DIYish it's lovely but I think it has to be glued to some realistic issues, one of them for me it's not to become a guitar luthier nor a craftman but to work and entertain ending up with a nice sounding guitar ..., and for that money at best or 400 more bucks at worst, would have a great sounding moreless "cheap" Martin guitar. I 🤞 hope already have some machinery in my ... "shop"? to reduce that figures. But, moreless, I have time, so I'll be looking to sharp the pen of that $ 600 budget. We'll see ... Greetings from Argentina PD: said those above, nevertheless your vids seems likely to be a treasure 👏👏👏.

Thanks

Hey man! Awesome video. What size MDF did you use?

Great video. Thanks for posting this. I am building your bending jig to use with the LMI OM kit. I had a quick question: in your video you later mention that you cut the bending jig using the plans as a template..."to the inside line." I just finished cutting all my pieces for the bending form, but I cut them to the outside line using the plans as a template. Do you see any particular reason this would cause me some problem when later using the other form in the following step? Thanks.

Hi great video. There you buy the blueprints of the guitar .

When cutting the shape, cannot you not use both pieces? The inner piece for the bending mold and the outer piece for the other mold?

How do you like that bandsaw? Some people seem to hate them. Great video!

if you cut to the inside of the line for frame mold can you use the cut offs for bending mold? Is that possible?

Seems like you could have used the offcuts from the outside jig for the inside forms.

Nice experiment can you make a vdo for how to make mouth round design and that peece of part and put in that body plz I want know how to make that round design in by hand

Hi Guy. I did not understand the Name of the place where you got the Plans from. Could you let me know. Thanks

in Brazil I do not find the thermal blanket, I would like to become a luthier but it is difficult.

Am I wrong to laminate 6 layers thick with no glue in the middle then saw it all at once? Butterfly the female mold at 3 layers and use the middle at 4- 6 layers for the bending form?

Is there a reason you used particle board and not mdf?

where can i get this sheet paper template?

If you haven't got a heat matt could you do the bending process with a heat gun?

What about the heating thing ive never seen before? Do you have some links to buy one and is it expensive?

may I ask for the om guitar pattern?

I'm guessing that $2000 total cost estimate you mentioned in the first episode would be for someone who already has a fairly well equipped shop to begin with, no? Clamps alone are maybe $500, not to mention the various power tools needed. Great series nonetheless!

What is the actual name of these heating material

bro please upload a clear pictur of the 0:53 scene

Can I get the copy of drawing please?

I keep trying to concentrate on what he's saying but all my brain keeps snapping to is "is he gay? "
