Nice.

Thank you for making this video.

Do you still make new videos …

HEY Chris, I noticed a Monongahela shirt your wearing. I am from Monongahela Pa. also and I am building an acoustic guitar. Are you still in the area?

Thanks very much for this great video! The jig you made for holding the button is genius and very well thought out. I like the idea of using the block to square up the tuner shaft.

What an incredible song this is I love it. I’m gonna buy a few of her recordings soon now iffin I can find em!

Wow she’s great she can really sing! And play, and write. Awesome.

That is pretty damn cool. Kudos

nice job can ya tell us how thick the veneer is

where can a guy purchase the template

Hmmmm, shouldnt that lining be facing the other way around?

Hi Chris, what type of blade do you use in your bandsaw for cutting shell?

Where are the locating pins?

Thanks Chris! I have searched for Ivory button tuners to replace my chrome Grover with and you just gave me the BEST answer!!

I made one of these mainly for the curved back, worked a treat too!!!!

What is ablam.

Wow, it sounds every bit as beautiful as it looks!

Good old school way!

Raw beauty inside and out...

Wow. Thank you for this moment. Whoa...

Hey Chris, do you tap directly into the wood or do you use an insert of some sort? It looks like you are directly in the wood, but I wonder how long before it stops working well. Thanks.

Can that be done to a guitar already completed?

That's a very noisy place . .

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

Thanks man this really helped me

Proof that the best solutions are usually the simplest. Great job on that tool.

Wouldn't it be less trouble and expense to start with a store bought rolling pin? Or sneak your wife's? Already round with a hole through the middle, probably $10.

so that's how it's made😳😳😳

Kathleen Edwards - wise choice!

Couple of questions. you do not have to re square the ends to match each time or re angle it? Where did you get your insertion tool? I am going to try to put the Abalone on a five string banjos pegged and fingerboard, do you have any tips for the tight curves involved?

AWESOME.

It took me awhile before I realized this wasnt pickup truck caps! I only guessed guitars because my brother plays! I need pickip truck caps!

Awesome Thanks for sharing this.

take my Martin your an artist!

Amazing machineries of world kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn_Wc5mMpK96ppI

Where did you get the laser? What brand is it?

Hey Chris Thanks for the toots. they are well done. If you were staring with an actual size of the guitar template, half profile, how would you reduce the template to a bending size?

Thanks for sharing. Very nice adaptation.

That's a masterpiece rosette, you're a true artist my friend. I wish I had an acoustic guitar with the inlays you make, great great job!!! Congratulations again, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 Thanks

Chris, I am very experienced with wood (not so much with guitar making), and was pondering the purchase of one of the available ~$150 plate joining jigs. Watched your video. Bought the tape. Glued up my okvangkol back. Glued up my spruce top. They are very happy plates and I'm a happy guitar maker! Thank you so much for the very simple elegant process.

Would be nice if You'd shared the final result.

That vice jig is genius

great

I made similar with woodprix instructions :)

In the first thing I sent it meant to say: when you made your split on your brace stock, you needed to split it 90 degrees the other way to find the true runout. The runout you did reveal was runout that came from your split going around a limb

That is, if you could drop a plumb line following the pith and you moved to the left and the right of this line, say by an inch, and cut like this...in a perfect tree with no twist, you’d have your ideal piece of runout free wood.

If you followed a parallel line with the very center, the pith, you would have no runout... on a hypothetical tree, because must trees grow with a twist as they grow. I’ve cut logs up for guitar wood by following the twist the best I could... to get a runout free billet. Impossible but you try. A large tree may show less runout, like a Sitka. Thanks for all that you share. I’ve learned a bunch from you teaching us! Thanks Dee

Chris, fun out is 90 degrees the other way from your split. As you showed us in your 2 by 8. You could see it in the center where the measure of the pith wood, that wood near the center, has a smaller measure at the bottom of the piece than it does at the top. When you split your brace what you did was to reveal a knot or a limb in the tree at that point. Yes it was runout, but not the runout where people that sawed the wood didn’t follow the actual center of the pith. Dee

Terrible sound but great tutorial, thanks. I need to repair a small delicate split panel in two parts, and this method is ideal where clamps are far too big for the job.

Why is this method better than using a hole saw?
