I give you a thumbs up before I even watch because I know beforehand I will enjoy !!!

[@chump5101]

Thanks a lot. I repair nearly everything, no matter how trashed. In my mind there is no such thing as "not worth it". It's a sickness, but many of your budget fixes have been extremely helpful to me. (my kitchen chairs are180 years old, my radio uses tubes and my telephone has a rotary dial, as I said it's a sickness).

[@RosaStringWorks]

+chump5101 I'm right there with you. I repair everything you can imagine. Thanks for watching.

[@chump5101]

Yeah but you're fast. It takes me forever. I got a lot of stuff waiting.

[@tito.tarantula]

Great videos, Jerry! I live in Bavaria and after watching this video I decided to start looking for a Framus Parlor guitar. Lo and behold, I found a vintage 1961 in amazing condition on ebay today (from the original owner none the less). The seller even threw in the original cotton "gig bag", strap, capo, tons of replacement strings and wooden note stand - all from the early 60's! I can't wait to play it in the coming days.

[@northyland1157]

Just a thought.. Just heat a few rooms.. Isolate the water pipes with a shut off and drain so they don't freeze and burst. Same thing as people do to sprinklers in the winter. Then in spring, turn back on the water and enjoy your full house.

[@RosaStringWorks]

Even that is far easier said than done in this house. We shut off about a third of it. And that's the best we can do.

[@northyland1157]

@@RosaStringWorks one trick i do. is when its really cold, I boil water a big pot of water or turn on shower to raise the humidity. The Raise in humidity helps the heat stick to the air, as the water in the air heats up. Humid places like Florida are also really warm. I'm not sure if anybody makes a house humidifier. Just a 3:30 am thought. Of course if things get too humid, you can get mold or water damage.

[@kennyball6897]

The two things I've done all my life his welding and woodworking I really really enjoy your Channel you got to relax and sounding voice old-school sound and you sound like you know what you're talkin about when it comes to woodworking I hope to be as good as you someday keep up the good work

[@alansturgess1324]

Jerry's idea of "quick and dirty" is still evidence of a master luthier at work. So now just imagine his "slow and beautiful".

[@georgieplayer]

They say you'll never be famous if you play a Framus.

[@garyjohn316]

Made me laugh!

[@denniskopp3281]

A buddy of mine had a Framus guitar back in the 60's it didn't have that kind of headstock, his was more likr a normal guitar. One thing about his guitar, no matter how new the strings were, they always sounded dead.

[@RosaStringWorks]

+Dennis Kopp thanks for taking a look. Happy New Year.

[@roygunter3244]

Over on the sunny side of Missouri at noon today it is a balmy 10 degrees. I live on I-55 in Scott County, love the Ozarks my mother was born near Birch Tree. I have always heard wood heats you three times, when you cut it, when you burn it and when you carry out the ashes. Good luck gathering wood and be careful with the chainsaw. I like your workmanship.

[@RosaStringWorks]

+roy gunter thank you very much. Happy New Year.

[@danvarga8264]

appears front hole was a novice attempt at mounting a strap. Rear hole should be as you said an old pickup plug port. good work!

Do you have a longwood that takes the three foot logs. The dad of a friend of mine (in Salem) has one. It is combination gas/wood.

[@shartne]

Get a more efficient wood stove yours is wasting wood. Or your needing to some how insulate the floors. put some boards down with insulation between them.

[@RosaStringWorks]

I have the most efficient stove made on the market. The house is just old big and 7,000 square feet of concrete. That's a lot of concrete to heat. Thanks for watching.

[@shartne]

7,000 square feet is just a really really big house in it self to heat. My house is only 1200 square feet. You might down size and live in just half your house in the winter time. It a mansion size.

[@sjp52047]

As always, great job, and a very happy new year to you and yours. Regards, Solomon

+Life After Work Thanks

[@TheCookofthehouse]

Hi Jerry your pronouciation of Framus is 97% correct (FrÁmus) more accentuation on the A than on the u that almost "disapears with the termination s. You made a pretty good guess. It is very cold in Missoury, that I'm sure. At my place, at the countryside, some 35 miles south of Lisbon, the mild climate of Lisbon, they say, I burn every year from mid November to mid April I burn circa 6 Tons of wood in a mix that is 50% Corktree wood, 30% Olive tree wood and 20% pinewood. The coldest day I've spent there in 18 years the mercury dropped as low as minus 14 celsius, close to the sunrise. That was the coldest ever night and the coldest winter we had. My house is huge 400sq meters on the ground floor and 120 more on the first floor. I don't know how it converts to Sq feet but for the Portuguese standards it really is a huge house. In 18 years only snowed for 2 days in two consecutive winters some 12 years ago. The pool never froze but I have had to replace two garden taps at the exit of the 120m deep drill from where I get all my water because water froze during the night in them and they "cracked" open...leaving me with no watter at home. As a result I've built a small brick wall around the taps and covered it with roof tiles leavin an opening towards south. I've built the house the "american way" which is not a popular type of construction in Portugal and makes it very hard to sell. A concrete slab, wooden floors, light steel, OSB outer and inner walls , externaly very well insulated, inside the external walls 40 cm deep of rock wool from floor to ceiling plus the external modern insulation before I had it covered with a very tight steel net, filled with a light cement and afterwards painted white. Windows are all german made special insulation, type and double glass. All this because air conditioning is essencial in the Summer when temperature raises to something like 45º Celcius. A fireplace in each room and two open fireplaces that I salvaged from the Family House at the north of Portugal before the Family decided to sell it because it was too big and expensive to maintain. Additionally there is a huge firewood oven in the gigantic kitchen that Mario built. all this burns 6 tons of wood (one and something tons per winter month), now and then helped by the air conditioning early in the mornings. apparently you've burned 3 tons in a week. Expensive my Friend! And I thought I had a difficult house to heat! Thanks for the video on the framus and the information on the wood consumption of your premises! Best regards and a happy New Year!

[@RosaStringWorks]

+Mario Tulio thank you for the note. Very interesting. Happy New Year to you.

[@tito.tarantula]

Hi Mario, you live in a fantastic part of the world... I love Lisbon and Portugal in general! For your info: 1 square metre is just over 10 square feet (10,76 to be more accurate)... so your house would be just over 4000 square feet - definitely a large size by any standards, Portuguese, European or North American.

[@weareearthguardians1417]

You need a airtight stove.. One cored would last you all winter

[@RosaStringWorks]

That's very funny. Thanks for watching.

[@rayclark9643]

I know this is kind of an old video but it was interesting to me as I brought one of these back from Germany back in the 70's. Enjoyed watching you and it would have been interesting to see what it would have looked like if you weren't on a tight budget working on it.

[@Camboge]

Glue syringes work great for getting into tight spots, very cheap on ebay

[@RosaStringWorks]

+Gabe Banks yes I have quite a few of them. They just take too long to use and then clean up. Plus on a thin set of sides like this they'll squirt the glue clear through on the inside of the guitar which is not what I want to do. Thank you for watching. Happy New Year.

[@BigDwww]

To the 2 thumbs down, make you're own videos so we can see how much better you would do this job

[@RosaStringWorks]

+BigD yeah! What he said! Thank you my friend. Thanks for watching my videos. Happy New Year.

[@dennisyounkin644]

Jerry, another great job!! I thought your key was fine and it worked!!!

[@soleone87]

a good trick to make the glue go deep in che crack use a suction cup for olding thing on the windows it works pretty well !

[@RosaStringWorks]

+bobby buenno I have several suction cups, as well as syringes. I use them when it is necessary. I didn't really felt feel like it was necessary in this case it seemed to go in there just fine. Thanks for taking a look.

[@soleone87]

[@RosaStringWorks]

+Andrew Reynolds thanks very much. Happy New Year.

[@billybuhl5581]

How did you make them edge clamps? They look homemade and a lot cheaper than the ones I have seen in luthier stores.

[@RosaStringWorks]

Billy Buhl I think those particular ones were just a large dowel that I cut off drilled holes in them and put some long quarter inch bolts through there with Wingnuts pretty simple I also put leather on the inside edges of the wood so that the wood doesn't touch the guitar

[@minosvoutsinos]

Hi Jerry, this is a Framus 5/197 Jumbo from the late 60ties/early 70ties. I have one of these and two other models of the Framus company. The name "Framus" : Fra - Mus comes from "Fränkische Musikinstrumentenerzeugung ("Franconian Musical Instruments Fabrication") at Erlangen, Bavaria. For those who are interrested, there is a very good publication on Wikipedia. Framus and Höfner made relatively cheap instruments of decent quality (something like the Harmony brand in the USA). Both made famous instruments who were played by the Beatles (the violin bass of Paul Mc Cartney by Höfner and the Framus Hootenanny played by John Lennon). There are famous songs of the rock history recorded with them. Framus had a few very original concepts: The unique, very strong and stable laminated neck, made of many, very thin pieces, the strange headstock design which makes it unbreakable, even if the instrument falls rearward. They had a quite decent wood quality, which makes them soung nice, even the models with the plywood back. The not so good concept of the model you had in your shop was the bolted-on bridge with the aluminium plate underneath and the adjustable metal and plastic saddle. Too much vibration from the strings gets lost this way. The laquer undernieth the saddle reduces also a lot the vibration transfer to the top.They did it to reduce production expenses for setting up and glueing saddles to the tops. Some later models had even a plastic bridge, which was of an awful quality. They sold the wooden bridge as an upgrade separately....Tho bolt-on neck has also an issue: too much laquer on the junction (neck and body), and vibration transfer gets poor. I have made modifications on mine: sanding the laquer of the top, putting on some thinner laquer, modifying the adjustable bridge into a standard one with a patch and a bone saddle, sanding the laquer of the neck junction, and the instrument gives you a great sound.

[@javierthewish]

Thank you for all this info. I have a Framus Texas and it doesn't have the bridge. What did you install instead of the original one?

[@soleone87]

[@henryhunter5026]

Nice repair job on a very sick guitar. I bought an old Framus acoustic similar to the one here but with an unbound Matt finish body from a car boot sale a couple of months ago for £5 which is about $7 US. Like yours it has the same heavy bridge and string tree at the headstock. The made in the heart of Bavaria label seems to have been filled in in pencil so is pretty illegible, a couple of tuner bushings were missing but I managed to get some exact replacements from Allparts. You’re dead right about the tone it is very much like a resophonic guitar, mine makes a reasonable slide instrument.

[@RosaStringWorks]

+Henry Hunter congratulations on the find. Thanks for watching my video. Happy New Year.

[@Pan3405]

I have a Framus Jazz guitar (1964) and I never saw a same model of the one I have. It is in a bad shape with a lot of cracks and distortions but I love the construction and the details!

[@ctcards2636]

Wow this is one interesting guitar. Id never seen one of these Framus models before. Ive seen their newer guitars but not this particular vintage model. What a mess that guitar was. Nice work as always. 🙂 This week im repairing a Yamaha F325D that is new but was damaged in shipping. My Yamaha collection is at 6 now :-) . I also got a FG800 yesterday that is by far the best acoustic ive played for the price by any of the big builders. Def a guitar worth checking out for beginners or for anyone who just needs a solid acoustic to travel or have laying around.

I had a Framus banjo. Framus made junky instruments. I would suggest playing it if is playable at all, don't fix it. Let the Germans make Mercedes and forget about musical instruments for which they have no real background. When it gets fixed, it still won't be worth $200.

[@mikeflanders1292]

Trailer that size, loaded 3 times is maybe 2 cord. If you're burning 2 cord in one week, your woodstove is not running right. Maybe your flue is wide open?? Also, what are you burning for wood? If you stoke a stove with dry oak, maple, or any hardwood, it will absolutely blast you out of that house. There is something wrong somewhere, cuz 2 cord should last at least a month. Especially where you live. I'm in the great northeast of Maine. We get -5, to -20° temps for several months on end, and very very dark and windy. And I don't know one person that burns 2 cord in one week. You'd have to be filling that stove every 30 minutes to burn through that much. Seriously.

[@tonnygarcia8417]

Greetings Mr. Rosa; when you have that issue again, use two edge clamp directly opposite to each other and two strings joining them to create the tession needed to clamp the wedge to the binding point

[@MeBeeGee]

If the finish really is shellac, instead of sanding it you can probably get it back to shine polishing it with a bit of alcohol.

[@imbra]

I have a Framus that looks very much like this one. Mine has no neck binding, the neck inlays are simple dots, and there is just the logo on the head without inlays or veneer. But it had the same crack on the side when I got it, and the guy I got it from repaired it. Not as nice as this but the it held for all these years. I love that guitar. :) Nice channel!

You'd have to be a millionaire to heat my house if with any other method. It would cost more than a thousand gallons of propane per month to eat it.

Those pressed back with no bracing work very well sound wise - I have 2 of their Texan 12 strings with set necks (they used to make them with set necks before they went to bolt on) and their sound is really good - their only problem was underset neck angle and thin necks which bend if tuned up to E - oh and a truss rod that snaps really easily thanks to poor quality metal. Get these faults remedied/tune to D and you have a really nice instrument.
