Thank you! This was very useful. Too much information on the web that just confuses. I've seen people use silk for the outer layer. Do you have experience with this? Does it make a difference vs cotton T-Shirts.

I just wear a 3M respirator and sweep up my dust when I'm finished, or use my shop vac. If I install one of those big dust collectors, instead of mounting that bag to it, I'll just run an exhaust pipe through my garage wall and let the dust fly out the back of the garage. I live in a rural area and the worst that can happen is I wind up with a big pile of sawdust behind the garage which I can use for stuff like filling in holes in the yard from moles, etc.

I was hoping you would get to your pattern makers vice, and I wonder if you have any thoughts over it and the StewMac version ? I'm starting into guitar repare.

So, you sprayed Nitro, and hand French polished with Shellac, then Shellac is the better option from both?

I know next to nothing about guitar making. I found this video looking for some details about this specific Oneida system. But I must say your level of detail is amazing along with the density of information presented. You both showed and discussed aspects of this system that I haven't seen in other videos. It was almost eerie how you covered many of my questions about the internal layout and operation of the machine. And the really awesome part is you didn't take 60 minutes to do it. Overall a job very well done, thanks!

Clever clamping design, I guess it’s unfortunate for them having to price it so high ,2700$ in Canada.

Stopped in at Rockler yesterday and started getting the parts of this same build for my basement shop. Thanks for the great video. One tip I learned there was for the plastic bag. Since they are reusable, glue a small magnet (like a flexible fridge magnet) along the top edge to hold the bag in place while you position it over the canister.

I've seen microscope fotographs of scraped and sanded wood. The scraped wood had open pores, whereas the sanded wood had fluffy fibers on the edges of the pores. It was suggested that the sanded surface was therefore easier to pore-fill... do you agree? And is there a difference in the end result, either visually or sonically?

2000 dollars, buy a bluescreek bender complete with a pattern for under 700. Buy your own blanket and you can get the bender itself for under 500. I own a ton of Stewart McDonald tools. Some very useful, some way overpriced because you bought it at Stewmac. And ok, I misquoted the price, its $1999 not $2000!
@TheArtOfLutherie Ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment and for letting me know that it was helpful! It is expensive for sure, but it's also the highest quality bender there is right now.

@@TheArtOfLutherie I will not fault that fact it is a quality bender, but as a hobbyist and boutique builder, even selling a guitar for 1500 to 2000 with very little profit, I doubt that machine for most of us would ever pay for itself. At first I wanted this machine but figured compared to everyone else, it would be 999 and maybe 750 on sale. Thanks again for reviewing it and you point out a lot if finger stick issues with the older machines. Enjoy your new machine!
@LuthierBench Ай бұрын
@@danweaver1517 this machine was conceived at LMI and when LMI left the industry, the design went to Stew-Mac and the price was double the original concept. How would we even calculate the machine 'paying for itself' - we believe this machine only makes sense in a workshop in production on a schedule. The other issue is the lack of intimacy in bending that a machine like this removes from the builder and the building process. The more we have conceived how we intend to build - the less we are focusing on machinery. Regarding $2,000 price - you are paying for the utility (that is speed and accuracy) - which is something my workshop will not be seeking - we will be the 'unhurried' luthier - and bending by hand slowly will be our build approach.

I just found that you can get 99.97% (200 proof) ethanol from USA Lab. It's expensive (1 gallon for $80 bucks which includes the 27 per gallon excise tax) but it's as pure as you get, and it has no odor. I am loving this video series, thank you so much for your time.

Your work is impressive, and I really admire your willingness to share some of the secrets of your trade. Some experience you only get through trial and error so what you provide here so valuable, it’s really giving time.

Rockler’s catalog has the filter bag for this unit listed at 30 microns. Not 3. If that’s true I definitely wouldn’t ever use the filter bag as it’s just pumping the most harmful particles into the air. Go for the canister filter.

you mention in the video that you believed that having a tightly fitted binding improved the responsiveness of the guitar. I have acoustic/frequency spectrum measurements of one of my guitar bodies before and after binding. There is a significant difference, many more resonant peaks after binding - so I agree with you 😊
