I like your glueing jig.

It’s been a while since your last post. We miss you. I hope you are doing well. from Japan.

Scarf joint done the hard way...

Grear video series... i have watced them all. I have a stupid question, how deep can the 510 cut, using a long bit...well anyway back to the rest of your vids. God bless u2

I hope all is well.

What happened to you? You haven't posted a new video for a long time.

Finished a nice nut today, but I wish I’d watched your video soon. Great technique with some really fine new tips! Thank you!

Why did you stop making videos/guitars? This one is awesome!

Hi, it's a bit late, but I really do love your videos and the design especially. You said that you used standard proportions, where did you find them? I really would like to Design one too, but yeah what measurements should I use to ensure the most comfort, great playability and have enough space for all the electrics? What are those standard proportions? Cheers

Hi mate. I think the solution to your "bre3ak-Bit's" problem is the collets you use. A guy here on youtube called "This old Tony" has made a video regarding this problem, and you might watch the video. The video is called "How Much Does A $3 Collet Cost?". Hope this can help you. BR.

The original Gibson winders used felt as tensioners. I could see that being an easy alteration to your system instead of running through your fingers. Maybe some kind of spring-loaded back-and-forth bar where your hand held the wire.

Fantastic videos. I'm getting ready to spray an old refurb guitar for a friend and am a lot more confident in what needs to be done. I learned a ton from you, thanks! Sand, Sand, Sand

Hi, it's a bit ago, but I wanted to build an electric guitar myself. Could you please explain how it is possible to put the bridge on an angle, without messing up the sound. Because I thought the scale length needs to be the same for all the strings

Maybe move camera and reposition to show detail or edit in CU stills from phone. And explain truss rod Adjustment

Nice job! For these series you should have been sponsored by StewMac since you use almost all their tools for the job.

I'll tell ya -- as soon as you were showing how you could run other tools while the CNC is running, I thought "I wouldn't do that". I don't have any empirical proof, but those CNC's do weird things because of electrical interference. I just decided to find other stuff in the shop to do that didn't draw amps from my electrical panel. I'm sure others will say that's stupid, but I haven't had any phantom run offs since I took that stance.

Pro tip - while the final sanding of the frets up to 2000g whip is what I do, but use an eraser, the kind that are about 2” long and an angle of each end. Cut the piece of sandpaper the width of the eraser and double the length of the eraser and put Ofer top of the eraser and sand out your marks and scratches that way. Much easier and fast that doing in with your finger with tiny pieces. I also taper the frets from the 16th fret down to the last fret for even lower action. Also if you don’t want to spend the money on Stewmac tools I have the Fret Guru level beam, crowning and fret end files and they’re great! Not much cheaper but like them better than these especially the crowning file. Everything in this video is great and to the point so good job with the shorter type video instead of being like an hour long.

Im just finishing my first guitar. I've made every rookie mistake before I found your videos on painting. None of my mistakes are a deal breaker but will burn more time to re-finish. I thank you for showing a better way.

Water in your air line? No matter what time of the year, your air supply could have water in it. I even use a divibless air dryer in my air and depending on the day I get humidity water.

Really Thankful. I was addicted to this process.

Uffffff sounds of haven

Passion, Knowledge and Discipline.

Piece of Art

A Master Piece

What I learned: can you imagine how expensive a guitar would be if they actually did this at the factory!

Fantastic video. I've officially decided I do not want to embark on this, I don't have your patience, precision or steady hands 😀 Thank you for sharing your process!

Great Art.

Awesome recipe

Master Luthier

Great series mate. The ranout can be caused by badly sheelding cables in you CNC or from your control to the CNC. Replace all the cables with high quality sheelding cables 🙂

Just Amazing

Why not drill out all of the string holes from the top and then just countersink the back for the ferrules?

A work of art

Hey man. You are an absolute amazing artist. Thanks for sharing your passion, skills and teaching. Keep Rocking.

Sorry, not sure how to call this but what tool is best to make the frets more playable. My squire stat has sharp inner frets that tear the hell out of my finger tips. I don't have fret buzz, action is low and intonation is spot on. But sliding notes rips my finger tips bad. The fret ends are bad too, but the inner frets are the worse I've ever seen on any guitar.

Thanks Awesome Job. Very informative, interesting and instructive. 🎸😜🤘🏽

I think you did a awesome job. I've done the exact thing before by clapping to early. Thank you for showing us what to do and not to do. Thank you!

I'm a sculptor and former art instructor. Those who never do anything , never screws up. The mark of a good craftsman is being able to correct any mistakes and learning from them. You've done well. I'm building my workbench now and love seeing you working. On that tenon, I've studied your video and another by Gary Nelles. Moving it slightly shorted behind the cavity edge should be in the instructions. Good Job.

talks about whonwhatvwhen and why a this style bench then the history of the bench for a friggin minutes painful at best

Love the square dog hole jig! what spacing did you use for your dog holes?

You should buy the book or video of Robert Benedetto on how to build Jazz guitars, it is like a bible for luthiers, he was the stradivarius maker of jazz guitar, every big name in Jazz have one of his. In his book he teaches everything about the wood and it's sound property and how to get optimum sound out of your planks. A volute is not recomended for sound it produce less resonnance and sustain! But make's the neck stronger, i prefer the approche of a venner top and back on the headstock, it make's it stronger and more resonnante and with that built ,no need for a volute! Love your video's keep it up, really appreciate your tips and tricks and your jigs built for CNC!

When you take the template off, how come I can't see the screw holes in the body?

Fantastic vid, thanks very much

Is there a part 6 of this series?

Great series of vids, thanks for posting

A masterclass on patience and dedication.

Just plain talking & teaching. There are so many video's with too much fooling around and little content, but here we are learning throughout. I have made the same mistakes over the years & now wait around 3 - 4 weeks before sanding & buffing, however, well done. Oh and the guitars are beautiful.

Great job !!!

Great video,good to see it done by an expert 🤘🏻

Really like your videos and enjoyed them immensely. A little thing to share with you is that there's a tool out there called the Vicks bit. It's used for centering holes in hinges for doors. I thought you might like it that's very cool and centers your holes in anything that you need
