So Here is my method for making and installing solid linings. I'm using mahogany but anything of a decent density will work well- walnut, rosewood etc. You can of course use spruce but woods of a higher density are a better choice.
The "Pete" I mention a few times here is Pete Howlett form the UK. He does good videos but not on RU-vid, only (i think?) on Facebook. We are mates and I had the pleasure of him visiting me in 2016 for his Winston Churchill Traveling Fellowship research.

Towards the end I mention "The Scottish Luthier"- He is the fab fellow Rory Dowling of Taran Guitars- Do you think I could remember his name while filming..... I really should have given him high praise for his pre gluing trick at the beginning of the video but was to busy trying to remember things to say.

Also, John Bogdanovich's excellent classical guitar making book (for an amazing price of about $30) has another method for doing this- that book is worth getting for the price whatever instrument you build.

Another great "lesson" from the Aussie Master :) Seen last night. Netflix must be pissed... LOL And a Question. What about double tops? Nomex as the middle layer or balsa wood....

@BeauHannamGuitars 3 года назад

Thanks Flavio. I’ve never done a double top so can’t comment. People seem to like them though.

Any time!

Thanks Beau for your great learning videos! I wonder how thick your sides are? They look really massive. Are they laminated? And what thickness do you go for in your spruce and cedar tops?

@BeauHannamGuitars 2 года назад

Typically, outside layer is .070", and the two inner layers are about 0.060" each. Sometimes i do only two layers 70 + 60) plus a 0.020" inner veneer. Backs about .100". Tops on ukes about 0.080" and guitars anywhere from 100-120 depending on guitar size. also 0.080 at the edges to 0.120" under the bridge.

Do you notice any difference in volume using solid over kerfed?

@BeauHannamGuitars 5 лет назад

with solid sides, and solid kerf linings etc it makes a difference.

@BeauHannamGuitars 5 лет назад

it looks better too

@orisguitars7315 5 лет назад

Solid Linings should be let in to the blocks, as in violins/ cello.

@BeauHannamGuitars 2 года назад

I do that now :)

@jonahguitarguy 5 лет назад

You do fine work my friend. So don't take offense when I say I think it's funny when you say how much you like metric measure compared to American fractional type measure. And then you immediately say the length you need for the lining is 15 1/2" I just had to chuckle. I go back and forth somewhat myself.

@BeauHannamGuitars 5 лет назад

HAHAH- yer- I actually use both- i like inches for longer measurements, and 64th or 32nd for very small measurements like action set ups. Strangely I prefer mm for the 4mm-10mm range. But it's more about the ease of dividing by 10.- i can never remember which is long- 3/8" or 5/16th?- I literally have to look it up. So to me Imperial is not very logical like 1, 2, 3-10 is. As i'm writing this, I still don't know which is longer 3/8" or 5/16th...?- that makes it an illogical system.

Beau must have had a frustrating time with Gerard over metric vs crazy imperial

@BeauHannamGuitars 9 месяцев назад

Hahahha- I use both

@johnjlong Год назад

"I'm pro metric"... next line, "this is 15 inches"... and every other measurement is in thousands of an inch.

@BeauHannamGuitars Год назад

Hahahah. I just around according to what my brain and memory find easiest for everything I measure. Metric is smartest and logical (therefore best) but I find inches easier to remember for longer measurements and thousands of an inch for very small measurements. You can think one is best, and use both and still be correct, coherent and not a hypocrite.Every luthier uses both from what I can tell. All classical guitar measurements are in mm. I’m planning a video on all this.

LOL,,, It's amazing to me ,, that you have to count like your in elementary school to come up with a equivalent for your precious Metric system ! And then Disrespecting the Standard measurements , used by England and the Romans almost since time ! , But then you have your workbench measured and marked in Standard increments and speak of Fifteen Inches instead of using your precious metric and saying .381 Meters ? I think it's hilarious that it all stems from ignorance ! But in Fact your precious 8 mm is not 5/16 , but .315 thousandth of 1 American Inch ,,,, If you'll check ,,, The metric system was invented , for those interested in getting items "Close" ,,, and if you'll also notice ,,, That's why you constantly refer to your lengths as " Close to " !

@BeauHannamGuitars 8 месяцев назад

I use both systems. I like thousands of an inch for the smallest measurements. I use mm on classical guitars. As a luthier, you gotta use both. But eg 5/16” is a stupid measurement which will never make sense to me.
