Lol

and you're not a man

She's clearly better than you at just about everything, so what does that make you?

no maidens?

Never been laid huh? Damn.

Everyone should be so lucky to have friends as good hearted as yourselves. Bless each one of you.

Wow that's amazing. Gotta be a Guinness world record if he's been holding it nonstop for 15 years! 🤘😜

@@mr.yellowstrat3352 Agreed, and if he's been playing the whole time he should be an amazing freaking player by now! LOL

Not quite as good friends as you think they clearly did the super glue trick. 🤣🤣🤣

Wonderful story

I’d agree with your suggestions

Is it ok to rub steel wool against the grain to be more aggresive with the cleaning? I worry that I will damage the fretboard if I use stool wool against ths grain, but going with the grain doesn't seem to take the crud off.

@@brushstroke3733 yes thin steel wool is absolutely fine for rosewood alike fretboards. Don’t forget to clean it well after. A magnet can pick up all the fine dust. Also lemon oil to hydrate every 6 months.

@@NelsonGago Thank you for the assurance and also the tip to use a magnet to pick up any wool shavings I miss when wiping down the guitar and area after. For anyone reading this, you must cover your pickups with tape completely before using steel wool anywhere near an electric guitar, as the shavings from the wool could damage the pickups if they get inside the windings.

@@brushstroke3733 yes cover all the pickup area. If it’s an electric bolt on neck I normally remove the neck and put the body away

Hmu if you and your mate ever split up 😉 there’s no girls in America quite like you lol

Is your boyfriend willing to play it? I'd like to hear it!

wish there was a boyfriend reaction in the end with the guitar reveal

Yeah its awsome that you can do that stuff I've played guyar for like 8 years and can barely change the strings. Dont get my wrong I'm decent enough at the actual instrument but absolutely hopeless at the maintenance stuff.

Daisy, You did a fantastic job!👌 This is actually the first video of yours that I've seen. Looks like I will be checking out your list of other videos to see what I can see.😉 I have played many instruments over the past 50+ years and always appreciate the younger generations getting involved with instrument building. Thank you.🙂 If you build them you most certainly know how to fix them, even if you are not entirely familiar with particular materials. As you have demonstrated, the process is still the same.🤙

I wondered if the mass of the cleats attached to the soundboard might affect the tone or projection. I'm more used to hearing about superglue for this kind of repair.

The state of that fingerboard. Good lawd. Surprised you didn’t hand your partner their waking papers. 😂

And she's really CUTE, too!

Wabi sabi: the beauty of well used, well loved and noticeably repaired things 😀

@@jensbomholt4529 hey, thanks for that! I couldn't remember the term for it. It's a beautiful way of looking at things.

Every time he picks it up and makes it sing, he'll think of her.

Ted's videos, skills and humour are absolutely brilliant.

Yes, I recommend that anyone watch a few of his videos. His work is fantastic.

I love Ted, and his work is incredible, but he surely is not as fair as Daisy. I'd wager he'd agree.

I’m addicted to Ted lol

Plus one for Ted! Knowledgeable and skillful; its like dentistry and surgery, even keyhole surgery.

I hate adjustable wrenches on anything!!

Thanks for sharing this Terry! Wonderful.

Why

​@@paulbissonnette3650Why?

Better yet, use the 0000 steel wool on the fretboard, then use the oil to condition the wood. Works perfectly.

@@xdoctorblindx Don'y you think the Steel wool is useless in a very dirty fretboard?

I dare say she already is. only thing now is time to become famous.

@@theeoddname I was to say the same... she already is

Hope you got it fixed up, and you're making it sing.

@@barnett25 Bullshit, it's never a requirement

+1 for Ted Woodford, he’s brilliant! 👍

Ditto, that dude is amazing and informative and funny.

Agree with everything you said. There are some interesting techniques used by other guitar repair/restoration YT hosts. Rosa String Works for example does some challenging projects and may provide some useful insight (I'm not affiliated).

[because you could totally destroy the finish with a heat gun. ] Not just the finish, but something even more important: The tone and timbre. When you melt glues, you're at the temperature where the fibrous structure of the wood also changes.

Agreed, always heat the knife, not the guitar. Yikes.

Martin Luthier was the first German to break away from the orthodox guitar builders in Rome in 1517. 🎸🎻⛪

@@sacredband9812 Yes you are totally right. As a matter of fact a lot of German Luthiers and Instrument builder have spread there knowledge and craftsmanship over the whole World. Good Example Martin Guitar, Steinway Pianos, Roger Rossmeisel, Arthur Lang, just to name a few of them...Allmost all of them were educated at the Luthier Schools Mittenwald or Marktneukirchen. Best Regards Nik

I use it all the time too but only on rosewood, pau ferro alike fretboards. The only thing you have to be careful is to cover any pickups (in case of an electric) cause the dust will all be attracted by the magnets. I keep a vacuum at hand and keep cleaning as I go along. You can also use a trick of having a magnet close to the cleaning area.

@@NelsonGago for some reason, steel wool isn't as fine where I get them. They're coarser than even loofahs. So there wasn't that worry of stray metal fibers getting into pickups but it is definitely best practice to tape em up for protection like you did.

Yeah, it can’t just be any old steel wool obviously; it has too be very fine. Also, yes very important to tape up electronics, as filings will cause problems.

Daisy needs to subscribe to his channel and watch every video he has ever produced. She'll learn so much more than she knows now.

I will third that, Ted is an awesome watch and such a free sharer; if in Canada go visit him for a repair apprenticeship

I was going to say the same, Ted's use of a suction pad to get glue into cracks is something that you could learn from

@@johnthursfield3056 Another great technique of Ted's is to locate and hold a glued cleat in place with strong magnets.

​@@Arnd2it Ted is a class act - so classy, in fact, that he wouldn't appreciate the way you've disparaged Daisy's skillset here.

TWoodford is a master!

@@mrclean111111 I learn so much from his videos.

As is Rosa Stringworks.

Maybe comment on the actual content of the video and not just how "datable" she is?

So her luthier skills are valuable only in the context of how worthy she is as a partner? Such a typical tonedeaf old white man comment.

That is exactly right.

Interested to know more about this. I have a 12 string WD10S that had a fair bulge when I bought it used. I keep it tuned to D standard now. Is this preferable or is E standard ok?

@@gerrykavanagh I won't vaunt myself into the role of "expert" on Daisy's channel, and likely you were asking her and not me anyway, but I would offer that no matter what you do, the bulge is going to affect the relationship between the bridge and the neck. Things like tuning down to a lower key, using lighter gauge strings, making the neck as straight as possible, shaving the saddle within a 64th-inch of its life (someone even came into the shop yesterday with a bulging 12-string and their solution was to only install six of the strings AND tune it down, haha) will all help the situation feel more tolerable, but if you really want to make it right, I would check with a local repair shop to see if they can fix it with steam. Worse case, it may be something more serious like the top coming unglued from a brace or even a broken brace, but I feel like that's less likely. And the person diagnosing it would probably have to be holding the instrument. That being said: if dropping it down a whole step makes it more enjoyable to play and you like it, go with that! Another recommendation if you really want to tune it up to E is to maybe try a set of the same gauge string you're used to but in a silk & steel version. You can still get a good amount of sound out them but much easier on the hands, especially on a 12-string!

Who is that’s!
