PSA- Grizzly sells a pattern makers vise for quite a bit less than StewMac, and they’re damn near identical.

@rakentrail 5 месяцев назад

I use the Stewmac saddle locating tool a lot in repairs when replacing a lifted bridge. It's amazing how many "factory made" guitars have poor intonation. When you give a client back his guitar well set up and really well intonated, he'll think you are a god! LOL!

I bought a Shinto rasp about a year ago. Inexpensive and very useful. Why didn't I buy one of these sooner.

@guitfidle 10 месяцев назад

My favorite tool that nobody seems to be aware of is a Microplane. It is kind of like a Stanley Surform, but the teeth are razor sharp, so they leave a nice clean cut that just needs scraped or sanded afterwards. I have their half round that fits in a hacksaw, I use this for every single neck I make along with any other item that needs contouring. It cuts faster than a rasp and leaves a cleaner surface. Also, I have a file made for cutting aluminum that has razor sharp teeth on it, it works very much like the razor files you guys showed. When used right, it leaves an almost ready to finish surface. Oh, and I made my own table vice to hold guitar necks while carving, sanding, etc. Ebony sapwood, so it is a pinkish color with jet black spots. Another great tool is spokeshave, especially the newer Wood River model. I absolutely love that tool!! I use a drawknife to rough the shape of a neck, then use the spokeshave to finalize it. It leaves a nice clean surface that just needs a little sanding before finishing. Way better than the Stanley/ Record style, the Woodriver is styled like the old wood shaves but made out of metal, with a fine adjustment on the blade.

A good upgrade to the vise is to put a few large rubber bands around it below the jaws. If something slips through, it does not fall onto the guide rail.

@DriftwoodGuitars 10 месяцев назад

Mother of god! This is what I’ve been looking for! We’ve had a few necks slip through upon loosening, and we got some dents. I’m doing this!

@Bob-of-Zoid 10 месяцев назад

@@DriftwoodGuitars Surgical tubing is well suited for it, because it doesn't stretch as much, use a long enough one to cover all grounds and adjust it's length by crossing it over twice in back of one of the jaw posts. It's all that's needed as it holds to itself really well. Use the rest for strat style pickup springs. It comes in handy for a lot of things, just don't do surgery on yourself!

Stewmac have upgraded theirs to incude polystyrene inserts that fit below the jaws.

@CaptainJack2048 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this... I just got my vise from StewMac yesterday and I'll be setting it up in the shop today. I'll definitely be looking into a couple of these tools as well. I get a lot of use out of Auriou rasps. They're hand made in France, so they're on the pricey side, but they work really well. The 12 inch half round (called "The Hog") is a 3 grain monster that can rough out a neck in no time, and I get a lot of use out of their rat-tails for enlarging openings and tweaking tight curves. I have some of their riffler rasps, and they come in handy as well.

@UtoyOnWheels 10 месяцев назад

@dobbsguitar 10 месяцев назад

I use a draw knife to quickly remove big amounts of wood on necks, then follow up with a spoke shave. They were tools I had on hand when I started building guitars so I've gotten used to them but now can't get by without them. They make quick work of shaping a neck.

@guitfidle 10 месяцев назад

@whythesadface 10 месяцев назад

I think I put off buying the Pattern Makers Vise for 28 years? The perception I and other luthiers always had was that it wouldn't hold valuable instruments securely. When the internet arrived I could see American Luthiers using them successfully. I'm thinking I might get some of those fancy electrical tools too.

@theNextProject 10 месяцев назад

LOL, the reason why most of those things don't get purchase sooner... COST. Sadly, we often buy cheap/affordable things to save money, only to replace them later with better quality compounding the overall price. Sometimes it is better to "buy once, cry once". Fun video!

@micdunsmore3553 10 месяцев назад

Good morning guys, love your guitars and design choices . I was hoping today might dive into your template set system. Is there any more info on that tool available online? I am just about to jump into the cnc purchase for my luthiery and think creating better jigs and templates is a good place to start!

@Rational_thinker_212 10 месяцев назад

love your dissected guitars. Would it if you would do the Yamaha apx all laminated or something like it.

@davelogeman 10 месяцев назад

Would the curved razor files make good tools for a manual fretboard scallop? Seems like the might be better than a rasp as they might save some fike and sanding time.

@masterpiecetools131 3 дня назад

That is not a pattern maker's vise. That would be something like the Emmert. Though the deadnaming does go back to the Landis The Workbench Book, where they call it a Universal Vise, but say catalogs often call it a patternmaker's vise, cause, you know, stupid.

@mtmihevc 10 месяцев назад

Ever tried a microplane? I'm not associated with it in anyway but I really like them. They hog off a lot and leave a very smooth finish and last a long time. And, they are cheap.
