Awesome designed jig. Can you adjust the distance between kurf cuts, more narrow or wider? Do you have plans for this jig?
@MustCreateThings
@MustCreateThings Ай бұрын
Hey hey mom, thanks!!! You can adjust the width of the kerf by changing the guide that the bearing rides on. I have a few printed actually. You can adjust the depth of cut as well with the threaded stop. Unfortunately I do not have plans for it. I have a very crude CAD model that got me to this stage but nothing ready to share. If you have specific questions or need photos, feel free to reach out.

I 3D printed them. The curved surfaces ride on two vertical rails on either side of the sanding belt and are offset to maintain a the correct thickness. This way I’m a make consistent curves quickly. The first hand full were done by hand and worked well. Just needed to figure out a way to pick up the pace!

Revelation 3:20 KJV And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3 KJV In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22 KJV Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deuteronomy 4:39 KJV And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 KJV Time is short. “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” Isaiah 55:6 KJV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Acts 3:19 KJV Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22 KJV Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 KJV And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 KJV But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 2 Samuel 7:22 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Did you know in ancient times and even up to 50+ years ago, people used wooden, shell husk and copper combs because they have higher frequency and negative ions in them versus plastic and cheap metal haircombs we gave today? People had healthier hair back in the day and less hair damage. Your hair is your antenna to the spiritual world. Him making wooden combs for the healthier hair benefits like our ancestors did...IS THE ART.

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! If I were to make just one from scratch it would take a few hours over the course of a couple days. I prefer making large batches the blanks that way I can carve in smaller batches (6-12) to keep stock available in the shop. Carving, sanding, and oiling take about 30-45 minutes per pin. I hope this helps. Hit me up with any other questions you have. I enjoy sharing my process.

Seems to me the shellac starts to dry on initial rubbing every coat. As if I’m removing shallac as I go. I can’t seem to lay down any layers at all. I see many on here indicate using very little shellac but that doesn’t seem to work for me at all. 4 time sanding it down.. Any advise on how much to load the rubber each coat? I feel like slopping it on to get a actual layer of shellac to work with. But I’m not giving up here just looking for the right combo to put in my rubber to replicate what your doing here
@MustCreateThings
@MustCreateThings Жыл бұрын
That’s a tough one. And I hate to answer with you have to develop a feel. Less shellac is better and if you feel it sticking either reduce pressure or stop. I use a small amount of mineral oil as a lubricant when the pad gets dry and it wants to stick. Also keep an eye on the edges of your pad. If it starts to build up a shellac ring you are using too much. Also make sure you use good light. If it’s reflecting just right you should see an evaporation tail. You’ll notice it lasts longer than you would thing and you may be reloading too soon. I hope this helps. I’ve sanded back many tops when I was starting.

That’s a tough one. I’ve used a product called Osmo on my necks in satin and love it. It is a penetrating oil and may affect the tone. If this is something you want to try, a seal coat of shellac may keep it from penetrating. Of course test on scrap to make sure you get good adhesion and the results you are looking for. I hope this helps.

I'm refurbishing my first guitar I made in 1982. It was a styled after the Rickenbacker 320, in black, like John Lennon's guitar. I'm removing the plastic binding on the front face and installing binding to both sides and having the natural finish. I debated if I should go with white plastic but found some nice curly maple. Then, I saw rope binding and wanted to use that. I plan on cutting each piece by hand but wasn't sure which glue to use. The body is mahogany. I like Titebond but as each piece is very small, it will take a long time. If I use Ca glue won't it seep onto the surrounding wood too deep? Do I apply a coat of shellac to prevent CA glue from seeping in? How did you prevent glue from spilling over? Thank you for any help.
@MustCreateThings
@MustCreateThings 2 жыл бұрын
Hello @Mich050 ! Yes, I coat the channels with shellac before using CA glue. I also add a coat or two to the top and sides just in case. I haven’t had an issue yet, even with Cedar. You don’t have to use CA glue if you are worried about it. I use it because it is instant and I can push the binding were I need it to be. I’m working on moving away from CA and going back to Titebond or even Fish or Hide glue. Good luck with your project! So cool you still have your first guitar!!!

Hi, I enjoyed the video. I have a Peavey bass guitar that was made in 1991. It has a hideous 90's pink to red fade paint job which covers a maple body. I would like to sand all the paint off and stain it to it's natural appearance. Do you have any tips or specific videos to guide me? I am not much of a wood worker but I think I can sand and stain a little bit.
@MustCreateThings
@MustCreateThings 2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I’m not versed well in finishing or finishing videos. I can tell you that I would sand by hand although it will take longer and go through grits up to at least 320. Before you finish raise the grain with water by wiping water on with a damp, not soaked, cloth and letting it dry. You will notice the wood gets rough. Lightly sand this roughness off with the last grit you used. For finishes that are easy to apply I’ve really liked Osmo Polyx. I don’t know what type of stain is best under it and would recommend testing on scrap before you dig into your guitar. You can do it. And if you mess up, anything can be fixed. Good luck!!!
