I almost never envy the rich, but in the case of your guitars… it would be a marvelous experience to play a guitar like this. There’s just so much love going into these wood boxes attached to metal cords. Love is in the details.

Try using a deep socket for your curve caul....it will withstand the pressure of clamping and you'll have multiple radiuses to choose from.

It should be called “the 3,000 yr old guitar build”. Seriously, it’s great to see you guys whenever you can make the time for vids. It’s not like you have nothing else to do. I hope all is going well in the off camera world for you two. Based on your multi year wait list I’m guessing things are going just fine.

Great video on some detail work. And what did I learn on this video? I learned that the squeegee that I have been using to clean my car windows with is actually a glue spreader (what was I thinking)! And those Irwin clamps (the blue and yellow ones) are a great size with lots of clamping pressure. Love 'em. But. The bar on mine all seem to be a softer metal and the teeth tend to wear away, thereby allowing the clamp head to not grip and slide. I've gone back over them with a file, but that only kinda sorta works. Keep it up. You guys must be super busy these days.

Beautiful work, thoughtful planning, and excellent skills, and filming. The Abalone inlay and binding is gorgeous! Surprisingly, that company doesn't appear to make fret markers or dots. Personally, I prefer the look and engineering of a Snakehead shape and its straight string/nut slot tuning stability over the Paddle headstock design.

Hi there guys! Awesome videos really informative and well done,This is maybe not the place but I would really like your input. I actually I’m about to buy a new guitar, What do you thing of the Martin 000-x2e for a gigging musician? I do have a limited budget, I not sure with this one or maybe a 000jr-10e because it is all solid o maybe put. little more for a Taylor 114ce what would you recommend? Thanks a lot guys!! keep it going !!

@MMWoodworking 11 ай бұрын

Thoughts on those ratcheting F-clamps vs twist f-clamps? Can you get similar pressure? They look like they'd lower the possibility of the clamp moving the piece. I've never seen anyone use those, but they have piqued my curiosity.

@kennylara6142 11 ай бұрын

Great episode, guys! Just curious though..is this episode 32 or 33? Last episode was titled "Episode 32 (Radiusing and Gluing On The Fretboard)" Thanks for continuing the series!
