Excellent!

I heard about WoodPrix instructions good opinions.

Massive flaws at 7:16 see how when you ratchet down the clamps the board has a gap at the edge where it is being cut? That's because these clamping mechanisms are causing the board to be pushed down hard on one side and the side sitting proud of the board is slightly angled up. Which means you are not getting 2 90 degree surfaces to be parallel. Its more like 88 degrees, times 2, and that will cause a small gap. This might be okay with just a thin top. But it doesn't replace the accuracy of a jointer.

Total masterpiece

Excellent video! I do have a question though. Does thinning the headstock as you did allow for a carved heel or volute when the neck shaping begins?

Hand plane works well for flattening.

I recently did the same and designed a bass guitar in Inkscape. Without having watched your video before, I came up with exactly the same approaches 😁. Like manually tracing existing designs and then making adjustments, masking a drawing of the bridge, using the flip tool to design the back, heavy use of the measure tool etc. I'm not sure if it was available in Inkscape back then, but now, I also use the clone tool heavily. You can for example clone the tuners, the pickups, or the body shape and then flip it to use it as a back view. Then, any changes are in sync. Next step: I'll use Marz Workbench to convert it to a 3d model in FreeCAD. Marz provides extensions to both Inkscape and FreeCAD to do just that.

Excellent video. It went fast. Before I knew it, it was over. Most people that make videos like this, make the video just drag along. You didn’t. Thank you. Very informative. Tom Sisson

Instead of sanding that second phase, have you considered clamping the two pieces on the jig and going back through the table saw again?

PRECIOSA😍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍

GORGEOUS 😮😂😅

Beautiful

Hi, why not cut the trussrod slot first on square section stock before you shape the neck. You wont need a jig, just a fence on the router...

Great work for neck rest caul amazing

Any reason to use the router to reduce the thickness instead of a thickness planer? Snipe?

Great tutorial can you please tell me how to print full scale templates onto a4 paper please

Tip I was taught by a luthier.. Don't lift your router from the work until the bit has stopped rotating totally..

You embody the phrase "Cleanliness is next to godliness." You precision with measurements, cuts, dust free, and double check in order to achieve perfection are exemplary. Well done and thank you. You are like a diamond cutter on would. I can think of no better way to do it. I'm inspired.

Nice one

Please whats the name of glue you used, and are there other options of glue?

Very nice guitar. Whey did you hollow out the upper back part of the mahogany body before you laminated the walnut on?

Thanks for this video. I have made a jig similar to this but have yet to route a good clean channel. I got three great ideas from this. I need to add the bolts on the side. Do you have something that they go thru in the wood so eventually it doesn't just strip out the wood? Secondly I need to add the stop piece because the truss rod I routed for last night I went too far so I had to reglue some pieces in the channel for a stop. And thirdly mine is just a fracton too wide so I have to add something in the sides so it doesnt float around. I'm getting there. A work in progress.

Amazing

Do all the fitting and fastening through the ebony before gluing on the top layer!

Hello! Curious to ask when do you use the different degrees 🤔? Like how and when are the different degrees utilized?

Wow! All I need is $10,000 worth of machinery to make a $10 part! Great!

Just wondering if you could tell me what are the dimensions of the pieces for the neck blank, also what degree of headstock angle can you get from this blank.

A veneer laminating vacuum bag could work.

Why didn't I see this years ago?

Absolutely brilliant

Genius, thank you!

Hi, I have some pieces from an Ikea bamboo chopping board I used for a project. Dimension is nice. Would you think it would make a nice fret leveler?

by far the most helpful video i have come across for cutting a scarf joint, thank you for the clear instructions!

Very nice job and great idea. I need to find a way to make a neck rest, but I do not have a table saw. I am basically limited to my Radial Arm saw and a shallow depth reciprocating type saw and some hand tools. Any ideas? Thanks and nice job on your neck rest. Great idea...

Nice, but why that awesome mahogany on the back? Walnut should have taken the brunt of the weight relief and saved the mahogany. Back looks better than the front.

A really helpful video with lots of very useful tips...thanks

Wow

Alcohol lamp is pretty handy for heating up the tip of the scraper too.

What neck template is that, I’ve been looking for one with a volute?

Where did you get the neck template with the volute?

Maybe heat the blade away from the fret board so if you slip no harm done

would a mitter saw be a better power tool for the job

LOVED the neck design! beautiful guitar that.

How do you maintain the radius with a block like this?

i glued my neck blank together on the floor, lol. this whole clamp and table setup looks clean

Good project! I would've cut a short step into the side of the board where the top pads of the clamps rest for an extra measure of retention.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I was wondering whether I'd need to buy or make a specialist saw, and have to resaw the slots again. Now instead I have a much better solution with tools I already have!

I have owned several Explorer and the Gibson's nothing sounds like them... Through any amplifier..... They're unique 😎 Hey you know how to catch a unique Rabbit..... Unique up on it 😜 lols...... Great video awesome Craftsmanship....

Nice Job
