thank you!

YOU ARE RIGHT, THIS GUY BUILDS GREAT GUITARS BUT DON'T BE JEALOUS GO BUILD ONE.

It's custom

Que Dableyou Go for it! You CAN do it!

thanks for the comments. trying to figure out how to edit better.

I enjoyed the sped up audio :-)

+Robertson Guitars yea about that. I cut it on the saw to get it

you can sometimes its hard to get it setup right.

nope!

+812GUITARS Chavez measure...2-3 times then cut once. if you goof..that's what veneers or paint/puddy is for.lmao

thats just a table router. Its a standard router that I screwed into a plate and use it upside down with a top bearing bit.

+BigDGuitars - Looks f-ing dangerous using that the way you do !

don't have to change bits. Makes life a bit easier.

alright, fair enough. i just bought a triton router because it has supposedly the best bit change system. i saw you also had one though in the beginning of the video, i am suprised that you didn't even use it much though.

the hardest part at times is getting the wood in the right thicknesses. those are the tools that cost a bunch. you need a bandsaw and a router and you can accomplish a decent amount of stuff.

I have a good bandsaw, router, drill press, spindle/table sander, little router table and router combo, saws, and etc. I guess I just need to keep going. I can't afford planers etc. In time... in time.

What do you think of mixing Formbys 30066 High Gloss Tung Oil Finish with yellow leather dye as a finish?

you have the right basics. Just take your time and keep going!

that would work. tung oil is a tad yellow to begin with so don't add too much

YEAH AND YOU CAN KEEP BUILDING MANY OTHER GUITARS AND SELL THOSE GUITARS MAKING YOUR MONEY BACK, LEARNING A VALUABLE TRADE AND ALSO BE ABLE TO BUILD ANY GUITAR FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU WANT. I JUST FINISHED BUILDING MYSELF A REPLICA 1959 LES PAUL SUNBURST AND IT COST ME A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS IN PARTS AND SUPPLIES WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE AND I NOW HAVE A GUITAR THAT GIBSON WOULD SELL FO $5-$10,OOO AS AN OVS GUITAR OR HALF A MILLION IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL DEAL. NOT TO MENTION I CAN USE MY WORK SHOP AND TOOLS TO BUILD FURNITURE OR ANYTHING ELSE I WANT TO EITHER PROFIT FROM OR GIFT TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS, LEARNING TO BULD THINGS YOURSELF IS VERY FULFILLING AND YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY DOING IT.

wow, 30k? lol, it only costs about 4k to get yourself set up with a bunch of powertools and everything you need to start building... and this is if you buy a few extra things that you don't need as well... some tools look fancy, but are never used. If you buy a cnc machine, it will cost about 10k for a decent one, or $600 for a cheap shitty one; and if you buy that, you would only need sand paper, finishing supplys(spray cans or something), glue, rasps, a hammer, and the components for the guitar.

Pros of going to a specialist technology school..

This video is clearly for people who either enjoy watching the process (like myself), or people who are going into this trade either way and will eventually have all the materials they will need to do stuff like this. There's nothing wrong with learning the process before you actually have the tools.

well said tomias

+Mack Monsees There are no screws holding this guitar together, you appear to be mistaken. The screws were used to attach a template to the guitar body, they were screwed in where there would be a cavity later, so when the template and the screws were removed, no damage remains. He has used screws rather than double-sided sticky tape because the template was damaged, it was warped, did not sit flat against the body, and would probably fall right off. Decent PVA holds just fine, it has great adhesion to wood, and both PU and PVA glues have mediocre to decent cohesion, so i think there's not necessarily an advantage to one or the other for wood. When you have a nice and level PVA glue joint along the grain, it's impossible for it to fail. No matter what kind of impact or how much force, the wood will always fail elsewhere rather than at the joint.
