showing and talking about mistakes is awesome. always a good lesson

I'd say keep it and call it Lucky 13, but I imagine it would throw you off too much trying to play later. Otherwise, it's looking pretty sweet. Swiper no swiping! Thanks for sharing!

I made the same exact mistake on a ukulele I built a couple years ago. I didn't notice until I was putting finish on. Fortunately, that one was for me as well, so I just left it. Gives the instrument a story and makes me chuckle a little each time I play it.

Something similar happened to me. I made a fretboard, my friend's CNC cut the routs for the mother-of-pearl fret marker inlays. I found it took a very long time to radius the fretboard, and cut the MOP by hand. When it came time to cut the slots, I found that the CNC wasn't scaled properly for the string scale length! I took it hard, but slept on it before doing something rash like putting it in the woodstove. Next morning I had the idea of shimming the nut end just enough that all the inlays fit between the frets. They were a little off center, but it worked and recused all of that labor.

Nothing but smiles over here!! I paused the video and counted the frets. I would have missed it too!!!

I didn't notice the error in the video, and I did the exact same mistake in my firewood bass while punching markings for the side dots. 😂 I noticed it before drilling the holes though. Left the punch markings to remind me that I make mistakes all the time.

I know you dont like the concept of mass producing, but this acoustic shape is so beautiful that i think it would sell a lot

12 frets, plus tax...by the way, that soundhole shape, and the closet-door-on-skate pickguard: outstanding!

I made that same mistake! My culprit was working on my guitar project in the evening after a few glasses of wine!!

If I had my own channel featuring the projects I had done it would be called "how the hell do I save this project" because I Never manage to Not screw something up. It honestly didn't dawn on me what mistake you made till bout halfway thru after the hints you gave.

Been there tim! I removed the wood at those frets

I'd consider making it a feature and start using capos a lot more. Two or three(or more) sets of fret markers in different colors? Green = No capo Blue = Capo on 1st fret Red = Capo on 2nd fret. And so on

The straight fret markers threw me off. I couldn't spot the mistake until you showed it. I'm so easily distracted.

I lately made a similar error. I’m making a solid body mandolin closely patterned after a particular guitar design. I had cut all my cavities before I remembered: unlike guitars, mandolins have a tenth fret marker, not a ninth. Because I’d already done a couple things I hated on that board (first build…), I took that as the sign that I needed some “test on scrap” rosewood. - Paul

Great video. Always interesting to see the fails...or whatever you want to call it. Can't wait to see the solution! Looking awesome! Mahalo for sharing!

No idea, just trusted the builder.

Speaking of commercials my daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas i told her to go to sqwayre tools 😊😊😊👍

Check out a channel called "The Next Project," specifically a video called "Guitar Fret Slot Blade - Don't Do It..." He modified an $11 Irwin laminate blade into a .023" fret slotting blade. And I'm shocked you didn't beat him to it. :😀

I was thinking of putting your arrow/logo with the laser on the 12th fret and maybe smaller ones down on 15 17 and 19

I like the sound hole.

that is what paint markers are for. i do this all the time because i play microtonal and macrotonal guitars made with 12 tone necks, and i have to cover up the 12 tone markers and replace them with whatever 16 or 17 or 10 or whatever non-equal temperament pitch monstrosity i have made the guitar into.

Great work Tim except for that little mistake. No big deal as fixing screw ups can often lead to other ways of making things better in the long run! 👍👍🎸🎸

I‘m just waiting for the day I accidentally do the same. I know it‘s bound to happen one day, lol.

For a “hudy-gurdy” ? A stabilized cotton belt rather than a wheel ?

Wow. Just leaving a comment because you should know I just subscribed.

I noticed the frets were off too.

Great stuff 😂

Is a fret missing or in wrong spacing?

I thought the frets were crooked based on the inlays. Looking forward to see how you fix this. What is the name of those clamps you used to clamp the finger board to the neck? I'm trying my hand at building a ukulele and looking for something simple for my finger board glue up.

the other day i'm doing the same measurement and was like, "ah shit, i put the 12th fret marker on the 11th fret!" turns out my brain thought fret markers come after their frets? i measured to the 11th fret. it was in the right spot.

So for the 12 fret marker u gonna put a new perspective music arrow there or maybe a the #12 ?

I totally missed it, not gonna lie 😅

I would just blame the CNC.....

😂👏 Like deployed 👍

lucky? 13th um-LIKE-ish. 76th oops-view.

Check your $2 dollar bills. They could be worth a lot.

🤓 I remember learning measure twice, cut once many years ago...I didn't take it as well are you do... 🥸
