Where can one get the aluminum weights?
@johnhall2795 4 күн бұрын
I got mine at a scrap yard. Anything that weights about 3 lbs will be fine. ebay has some aluminum stock, a piece 2 by 6 or in that range should be fine.

This is a great idea! I was planning on doing a build with a cedar top but could only find sets that are not wide enough. I may just order it anyway and give this technique a try. The way I see it, if the difference is noticeable I can always route for purfling to cover it up and still have wood underneath it to keep it structurally sound.

this is a handy trick I have used on tops and backs

Per John's suggestion, I did this last year with an Adirondack Spruce top I bought from John, to make it wide enough for my Jumbo build. Worked beautifully and I added a few cleats, just because--mostly because I needed to learn how.

Unsorte but so cool. IM Mainly an electric player and own 2 acoustics but being in the build of it now im totally excited to learn. And the history is just amazing on the different makers

At 15:30 you mention that when cutting a specific wood you want to adjust the router speed so the ‘heat’ goes into the chip instead of the top, back, sides or the cutter. What do you mean by the chip?
@bluescreekguitars3346 3 ай бұрын
ok when you work on something , you have the TOOL , WORK and SCRAP ( CHIP ) so when you are working on this, sanding , routing etc , be aware of the heat. Is the tool getting hot??? is the work getting HOT so you adjust tool slower speed or faster feed , WORK same thing slower took faster working , and when you do this , the chip is where the heat goes , this lestens scorching the work , and lengthens tool life.

this is the actualk piece that I used for the ASIA Symposium , those that attended , you can now see the process at it actually happened
@MarkRawling 3 ай бұрын
If I understood that correctly, I think the layout was: stain, shellac, 3 x aquacoat, shellac, nitro for the body, and just shellac + nitro for the top. Which sounds pretty ideal to me, but I wonder wat alternatives there are to aquacoat for the people who are a bit leery of it.

It is nice to see how you layer your sealer and filler. What type of shellac flakes do you use? Do you use a clear Aqua Cote filler?
@bluescreekguitars3346 3 ай бұрын
I get the super blonde shellac abd clear aqua coat but it can be stained if you choose

Awesome, I have heard mixed reviews on the aqua coat,I haven't had the balls to try it because of the reviews after seeing it does work pretty well I'm gonna try it so thanks again

Hello please tell me why you use windex instead of water? Does it make the wood relax or prevent staining?
@bluescreekguitars3346 4 ай бұрын
Windex uses ammonia this is a natural cell softener and aids in the wood cell to collapse

At 1:00 you said, “I jointed the edge so I know my edge is true”. Ken Parker uses what’s called a “Spring Joint” when he joins his top and back plates on a shooting board with his no. 8 Stanley plane. As you know, a spring joint is where the plates are planned in such a way where a slight gap remains in the center. The top and/or back is then clamped together with the center clamp(s) used to close the remaining gap. This ensures that both the outer edges of the top and back plates never separate due to changes in humidity. Of course Ken builds archtops and not acoustic guitars but was wondering if you recommend this method for use in joining acoustic guitar tops and backs? Below is the video link of Ken Parker explaining the use of the spring joint starting the process at 11:15 but I recommend watching the whole video in order to connect all the dots. Thank you John! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3OnqHmkmt1qZ80si=sfVcBrNiWyPf4Wtk
