looking at the plans, i cant see any indication on the template distance to the edges. what i mean is; where the blocking is placed, how far is it from the edges? 1 1/2" all the way around? including on the bottom?

Awesome! Bought some lumber to make one myself. Oak body with probably a flamed birch top and then I'm gonna make a laminated birch and oak neck with oak fretboard. Maple costs a ton here in Finland so I got these pretty unusual woods. This inspired me to make one without a pickguard and maybe a dual humbucker configuration like the one you were originally going for. Thanks for posting, this will help a ton!

@@WeBuildStuff indeed, it is wise to get growing the equipment as the passion grows, but I can see there's passion! It must be worth every single second of a build to be able to play your self-built instrument, regardless if it's perfect or not. To be your first, it's already perfect! I'd say that the hardware you put into it makes the most difference. Locking tuners, bare knuckle pickups, and a Schaller or Babicz tailpiece, and your guitar will shine! Keep having fun!

@@WeBuildStuff First of all I would like to admit that I am in no shape or form able to say anything about how to handle such equipment. My skills are tiny and I never used one of those. I never have seen anybody hold this kind of saw so far in the front - that could be because I never looked that close or because my brain is a swiss cheese and those holes usually swallow a lot of memories 😅. Those soldering accidents are meant to be. When I tried some silver soldering and some glass melting, I managed to grab the working piece about a minute after I had it orange glowing, because of said swiss cheese brain. Luckily I am due to my MS and disabilities taking a metric ton of opioids, so I didn‘t suffer that long, but hot pieces of metal and I are incompatible I guess. 🙈 (And by now I have seen your entire video and must say: amazing work!)

@@WeBuildStuff yes. The input shaft bearing on the 5th gear end was galled and loose. But I don't want to save a few bucks but then have to re-do a job this big early, so while I was in there, I replaced every bearing and seal with a USA Standard Bearing/ seal kit (excellent kit - same bearings as OEM - good for 325,000 km with non-synthetic oil - likely longer with the "good stuff"). I got lucky on the differential bearings. They're fit is adjusted with shims, but the OEM shim gave me zero play and light rolling friction (did this by feel), so I didn't have to fiddle with getting a bunch of shims at $40 each. Likely because they are the exact same bearings as OEM, they fit very close to the exact same. My total cost (replaced a mount, the rubber clutch line, part of the metal clutch line and a few other things was about $700 CDN. I could have bought a junk yard tranny for $750 and saved some time, but I wouldn't have the peace of mind I have knowing exactly the internal conditions and operation history of the transmission.

@WeBuildStuffАй бұрын
When making my template I eyeballed or traced circle shaped objects to fit. For the larger arc that goes from the upper marquee to the control panel I bent a long ruler into the arc that looked good and traced it with a pencil. Not everything is exact to the CAD plans. I use those as a starting point and make changes as I wanted or needed to without overthinking too much

Not everything is shown exactly in the plans. Sometimes you have to measure and make something fit. That being said I'm not sure which circle you are referring to (I built this in 2018). Can you reply with a timestamp in the video showing which circle. I may be able to explain better if I can see which part you are talking about.

@@Kevinka98 bottom of page 3 it says 46.18 in the side view but It isn't listed on the panel breakout page. So I believe that piece would be 46.18 x 81.28. Trim to fit if tight as these numbers are straight out of Autocad and don't reflect small human errors in measurement when building.

Both were only filled with fresh grease until the spring was compressed halfway as per manufactures instructions. The back seals are still clean on both sides after 400km of driving and each of the springs are still where I lef them. While I don't trust this product to "pack my bearings" but it will top off the grease enough to prevent it from running dry.

I have an old picture of me with it on that Xmas day so I'm going to frame it (even though it's just a small pic) to hang it and the guitar on the wall of my studio. I come from a very musical and artistic family on both sides so I was introduced to it all from the start and always encouraged. I've been thinking of getting a guitar kit to build which is how I saw your video As I don't have all the proper tools or knowledge I figure a kit is the better way to go, so I've been looking at the Gibson explorer kits. But man, the pride and feelings of accomplishment you got from building yours must be awesome. The whole neck, fretboard and neck pocket are the most crucial parts to hand crafting a guitar and I'm very impressed how well you did for your first go at it.
