This is a great video, I just wish there was more detail about creating the neck. I saw him cut the tenon but now in this video the neck looks like it has been trimmed down to it's final size and I'm not sure how he did that. Particularly where the head meets the stock. It is cut at a 90 degree angle and angled front to back. Not sure how he made that cut, I don't think a template would work that well.

Hi Freddy, one question on binding routing, is the router bit cutting only the rosewood, or also cutting a sliver of the mahogany? if cutting mahogany, how to cut the body side end of the rosewood+mahogany? if not cutting mahogany, is the binding strip then not really covering/overlapping the rosewood-mahogany joint line? thanks!!!
@FreddysFrets3 ай бұрын
I set the router to cut as close to only cutting rosewood as possible. I will err on the side of cutting a hair of mahogany, but that's not problem to adjust the binding if needed at the neck body joint.

this technique stinks, you're just moving the debris back n forth across the surface and damaging it, just flood the area and turn it over to dump the debris off, then flood it again, no need to swirl and scratch the surface of the membrane, also this technique only applies to a sealed c12 capsule for a 414, any capsule with screws through the tension plates is a big risk, that is about 95% of ldc mics
