Hi and welcome to episode 25 of the Shed of Dreams ES 335 guitar build series. Now that the frets are fitted it’s time to tackle the final job on the fretboard for now, fitting the binding. I’ve never bound a fretboard before so this will be a learning process for me.

I always used that thickness binding my for the body & use the much thinner binding for the neck,less scraping that way.

I just gotta say how much more i've come to appreciate your series more than most other RU-vid luthiers. a guy in a shed that shares his thoughts, makes occasional mistakes and explains how to correct them is INFINITELY more helpful and inspirational than every other "this ONE TRICK will make your NECK play AMAZINGLY" video there is out here. thank you for your videos, immensely psyched for the finishen build!

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thank you, very kind. I thikn that explains my rational for starting the channel, just a bloke in his shed with an affordable set of tools making the best guitars he can without any BS or hype. Really happy you are enjoying :)

I've watched from the beginning and I love this build. Can't wait to see the end result of all your hard work! I'm sure it will be beautiful. Peace!

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks mate, I'm loving this build as well but it is taking ages :)

@SweetTGuitars 2 года назад

I would invest in a set of high quality tang nippers for binding fretboards. it will allow you to have the frets over the binding on the side. It just looks a little cleaner. What you did here is very cool, its just a suggestion!! Sintoms makes a really good set of nippers but they are really expensive.

@jonahguitarguy 2 года назад

Good work Patrick. It only took one nib job for me to say never again. Plus I don’t like the loss of fret real estate.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Dane, it was an itch I needed to scratch. I think it's fully scratch now!! I like the look but it's very time consumming and the loss of fret area is an issue.

@hbert06 2 года назад

It is really an absolute pleasure to watch you doing all this delicate work! Very motivational (if that is a word 🤷🏻‍♀)! 👍🏻

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks, it's a great word :) I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.

@SweetTGuitars 2 года назад

The nippers will allow you to bind before fretting and you can get all that scraping done before the frets go in.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Hi mate, I felt the need to go with the nibs on this build, not sure why, guess it was just an itch that I needed to scratch. I'm pretty sure I won't go down that route again but it was fun while it lasted. I've really struggled to get nippers in the UK, you can get them from time to time but they tend sell out before I can get a set. I'll keep trying as I will be needinga set :)

Still enjoying the journey keep it up matey👍

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Bill, will do :)

@geemac7267 2 года назад

There's a lot of work involved in this step. Not easy. You did a great job on that.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks mate, it was a lot of work, not sure I'd go there again but it has turned out nice.

@martinlouden9005 2 года назад

A really great result. Good old acetone, both practical and a smashing form of entertainment!

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Martin, I don't think I'd go back to superglue now, fully converted to acetone.

Thanks pete, I'm really glad you are enjoying it :)

@waynecarter1863 Год назад

Fantastic guitar building ! Watched someone else on youtube and they were using a cnc machine.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams Год назад

I don't mind CNC but there is nothing like doing it by hand :)

@JohnPaulBernett 2 года назад

Brilliant work, and again we learn more about binding with acetone, I will definitely give it a try.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

I can recommend it, I don't think I can go back to glue!

@JohnPaulBernett 2 года назад

@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams That's good enough for me. I have just seen what you are working on now on Instagram and I am looking forward to seeing the next video :)

@timhallas4275 Год назад

Next time, line the binding up to the top of the fretboard when taping it on for gluing. Leave the back proud.It's way easier to remove the excess on the back than working between the frets. ... or just bind before fretting.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams Год назад

I wanted the binding nibs on this one, I like the look of them and wanted to see what doing them was like. I'm not doing them again!

@CMRWoodworks 2 года назад

The binding looks great man!

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Chris, lots of work but worth it :)

@jimmymacGoa 2 года назад

Great video again. (I’m only half way through). Could you have applied the acetone on the face that will be getting glued to the neck to help with the colour leaching

@jimmymacGoa 2 года назад

Great job. Very professional looking with the nibs

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Possibly but to be honest it's so thin that it gets into everything. The staining comes off really easily so it's not too much of an issue.

@6StringPassion. 2 года назад

Next WEEK? Nooooo. It's only Monday! 😬

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Sorry, slip of the tongue. Back on Thursday as usual :)

@madeinyorkshire2203 2 года назад

This looks great! Would it have been possible to align the binding flush with the top edge of the fretboard. Leaving the excess at the underside? If ot would then the cleanup on the underside would have been an easy one. I'm really enjoying this series!

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Cheers, normally I'd align with the top but in this case I wanted to do fret nibs, I'll never want to do that again!!

@AndrewReynolds1 2 года назад

This is coming along so nicely. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the neck joins the body. When you get there, could you explain how you get the neck joint to have the right angle for the strings to run parallel to the fretboard as they travel from the nut to the bridge please?

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew, I'll make sure I go into every detail of the neck fitting process. I'm still working it out for this build but I'm sure it will be fine :)

@PG-ex3kl 2 года назад

Looking good Patrick! Is it possible to line up the top of the binding to the top of the fretboard instead of the bottom? Wouldn’t that save all that scraping between the frets? I’m totally ignorant to the binding process, just posing the question! Looks like a job I would love to cut corners on….. you have a lot of patience! Thank you for the video

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Hi mate, you have to line the binding up with the top of the frets to form the nibs. That's why there is so much material to remove. I tend to listen to music on headphones while I'm doing the long jobs, I can settle in for a couple of hours at a time that way.

@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989 2 года назад

Ok I'm definitely not building a 335! Lol

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Haha, I've seen how good your work is mate and I'm pretty sure you would be fine :)

@bjstein4242 2 года назад

Fret NIBS.. fantastic.. you could have shown us more as I had a 6 pack to drink.. looks fantastic.. would Gibson have mitered the binding at the corner? just curious..

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks mate, I don't have a bound fretboard Gibson and can't remember how they did it on those that I've played. I'm assuming mitered.

@jurgenzoller4407 2 года назад

Great work mate, does anything ever go wrong for you.

@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams 2 года назад

Thanks Jurgen, yes, often but I find that filming my projects slows me down and gives me more time to avoid making mistakes.

@jurgenzoller4407 2 года назад

@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams well that's a good reason to film, something I have considered..... I just get anxious about editing and the extra time required. My wife already agonised about the amount of time I spend in the shed building guitars😂😂😂

I have a fretboard that I trimmed and messed up by using a demmel to trim it. I am replacing the fre t board on an existing neck. I repaired the fret board with super glue and fretboard shavings. I could save the fret board by putting binding on it.. My fretboard isn't glued on to the neck yet also no frets yet but the fret slots are cut. My question is do I trim my fretboard a little more so it matches the neck when I put the binding on it or do I sand the binding so it is thin so it matches the neck? Could be a dumb question.. But I am old and learning new stuff...
