225 RSW Custom Guitar Sides Making Bending Kerfing P4

[@nicolen.9642]

The wood is beautiful. It's going to be more precious with time. God knows what guitars will be made of in a hundred years...🌳 Thanks Jerry 🎶🎶🎶

[@mikekeenersr9660]

Thank u giving me so much guidance on building my guitars and hopefully starting my guitar building business so Once again thank u jerry Rosa

[@edwardpetersen4309]

Thanks again, Jerry for the brilliant workings of your hands, head and heart. How lucky we are to live at a time when we have this resource. I have made two not so great guitars so far, but my next one will be better because of your generous sharing.

[@QuerkyMan]

The man who makes magic. He does not admit defeat, but through insight or experience knows when to say “No.” I sit here drooling, thinking “I could have done that.” But I didn’t. Beautiful!

[@walterholmes4609]

Jerry - don't apologize to the "numbers nerds". they don't matter anyway. Truth is, it's watching you go boldly and seemingly blindly into the unknown that makes you a must watch, except there ain't nothing blind about it. You seem to know just enough so that what you don't know can't scare you, you then learn the rest on the fly. 99.999999% of folks watching this series are far more impressed that you DON'T know the bending temp for .080 paduk, or that it never occurred to you or stopped you from doing it! Right on!

[@dlux703]

Very nice. That wood is beautiful and I can't wait to see the back and sides all together. I'll be looking for the next installment. Keep up the great work.

[@EmbelekoBand]

A thumbs up is not enough, but you can always count on one from me. Superb work, build, etc. Always something to learn and admire on every single video. Great channel Jerry.

[@stebly7]

Just darn fascinating Jerry. Thank you for allowing us into your workshop. Knowing basically how guitars go together structurally and seeing them go together are two different things. Your videos give life to the process and in turn bring to us a rare glimpse into the skills and craftsmanship necessary to bring a high quality instrument to life. A real pleasure indeed, well worth following into your future offerings Jerry!

[@thomasthacker4939]

Thank you Jerry for another excellent video. Really enjoying your creativity and ingenuity. - rare talents nowadays.

[@IndiObsver]

Rushing the kitchen bending before the good lady comes home. LOL. interesting vid as always. Tnx

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

I'm glad you got the bender sorted. It will be cool to see you use it over time... I like the table around it as well. Great idea.

[@mmccoy577]

I love watching people work that is good at what they do.You are defiantly good at what you do.

[@bakstabbath]

I learn something new on every video. Thanks for sharing.

[@harryodum5598]

Hi Jerry I was looking for a real good french polish teacher! And I did, but this guy is a old school guitar builder I would say a going back father to father, but he has the best side bender I have ever seen he in Spain. Can't hurt to check him out. Pablo Requena....

[@esthergagne5195]

Not that I ever plan to build my own instruments, I guess, but I got addicted to your channel browsing KZbin for tips on how to refinish my violin. You are doing an amazing job creating these beautiful instruments and I try to give you a thumbs up every time. Your videos are the most entertaining and in-depth explanations on how to build and repair traditional string instruments that I've seen on KZbin so far. Thank you for this and all your editing efforts and keep up the great work!

[@thomastommy1192]

I always give you a thumbs up. lol. I would give you many more if I could. A GREAT VIDEO. Thank you so much for sharing it. You are for sure a man of many trades. (I do envy you). I love watching this video. I will watch it again. I'm looking forward to the next video. Thank you so much. I hope you & your family have a very blessed week, Thank you.

[@Vychan72]

Another Awesome Video Jerry, Looking Forward To Seeing The Finished Guitar And Always A Thumbs Up From Me On All Your Videos

[@swabbievet]

I'm not surprized that you got it figured out and will be looking forward to the other video's on this guitar build.

[@fingerstyleblueslessons4787]

Yes new video time, can’t wait to see this side bender working!

[@davidens8204]

your attention to detail is only exceeded by your intuitive ingenuity, I cant wait to see what you come up with next and what obstacles you will overcome.. really nice one man

[@roywalford1057]

Jerry, another great interesting video, looking forward to the next installment!

[@BoudreauGuitars]

Wonderful job, Jerry. I love to watch you work!

[@buckhorncortez]

I refurbished the seat and back portion of a cast iron bench using padauk. It was like working with a cross between white oak, purpleheart, and teak in hardness and brittleness. I'm impressed with your bending it without having the outer surface radius fail as it stretches. Nice job!

[@daveogarf]

GOTTA' LOVE that orange sawdust! Looks good enough to use as an ice cream topping!

[@RosaStringWorks]

You probably wouldn't think so if you could smell it. LOL it doesn't really smell very good at all.

[@keng3744]

Again, love your T-shirt, and of course the video, too.

[@LanternLooney]

Hey jerry! If you are unsure of how to fix your Coleman stove, I just wanted to tell you that there is a Coleman Collectors Forum that you can search for on Google. There you will find a community of very knowledgable Coleman collectors that can help you fix your stove for sure. They actually have a whole section specifically for helping people fix their Coleman stuff. I'm sure you know that the old Coleman products are basically bullet-proof and are always fixable. P.S. I'm enjoying the series of this build! Can't wait for the next part!

[@RosaStringWorks]

Thank you. Wasn't aware of the Forum. This was a fairly simple fix I just didn't have the part that morning. I've already got it fixed and it's back in service. Thanks for watching my videos.

[@barrienorman404]

Great job Jerry, your inspiring me to have go, Iv,e built an electric guitar but now play mostly acoustic and would love to play a guitar that i have built myself. Keep up the good work

[@csnelling4]

Great Video !!! It’s great to hear imperial measurements instead of metric on your videos Jerry .👍

[@timcotterill3952]

Clones peg for calming the kerfing... man that’s just brilliant. Know a guy who uses at least couple of hundred dollars worth of clamps if not more to do the same thing. Gonna h his way, first. I can alway use clamps if I have to. Made and trialed the kerfing jig... works like a bought one. Thanks for another great video full of good as gold tips Jerry. Much appreciated. TimC

[@AMStationEngineer]

I'm certain that you derive a great deal of satisfaction from achieving the end result, creating a musical instrument from just wood, glue, antler, and metal. Which must rate (at least) as important as the fees paid by the person who commissions the build. There is a ten person woodworking shop nearby (northern Lancaster County, PA), which designs and creates furniture for high end business jets, and luxury aircraft and yachts. I believe that nearly everything is required to have rounded corners. Long story, short, he built a plastic tank filled with room temp room temp potassium chloride/H2O solution to soak the wood, then uses a radio frequency iron to literally steam the wood from the inside. His company built the furniture which adorns "Trump Force-One".

[@darrellblanchard2362]

Hi Jerry, that padauk really burns my nose but not as bad as Indian rosewood. My high school shop teacher had a paddle made from padauk he called her paduka. Nobody in our class got some twice. Once was enough. Lol I am enjoying the videos. Thanks for producing them.

[@RosaStringWorks]

Yeah it does burn the nose. Since it's so hard it would make a great paddle. LOL

[@RichM1967]

You make this look so easy... I had a hard time gluing in a nut to a guitar I am setting up... :( Good video -- keep them coming.

[@jonahguitarguy]

I really like padauk, I made my main axe with a padauk carved top. This guitar is going to be beauty.

[@lrstaf6]

Hi Jerry; Another great video. Addressing your comment about cutting the dovetail before gluing the neck block vs after gluing the neck block. My experience is that the finished instrument doesn't give a diddly what sequence you use. Only the luthleir cares, therefore; do it whatever way pleases you without caring about how others think. Your result is all that matters and you obviously get excellent results and produce excellent instruments and repairs. That being said, I do believe if I were doing the build that cutting the dovetail first would work best for me. I love your jig for cutting the kerfing. As for the bending iron, I knew you had a winner before I even watched this video. God bless!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Nice job... I particularly like the kerfing jig.. clever.

[@banjomanToddTaylor]

Awesome! work Jerry

[@DavidMFChapman]

Celsius vs. Centigrade-since 1948 the official international unit of temperature has been Celsius, named after the guy who first came up with the idea of 100 degrees between water freezing and water boiling. Before that, Centigrade was used, and some people still use it. The problem is, the word centigrade simply means a scale divided into 100 parts, and has been used to measure things other than temperature. The people who decide such things thought it was too confusing, and they like giving famous names to SI units: Newton, Watt, Ampere, Joule, Gauss, Angstrom , etc.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Looks like the new tool is working out well!

[@100amps]

Love the sidebender! It's perfect. As for the temp controller, if it ain't broke... Your mods to the end blocks are good too, I think.

[@sjp52047]

Jerry, it looks like you have worked out the bending iron, and all is going well. It just seems to me that Titebond should at least sponsor you with some free glue. Afterall you are one of their biggest supporters.That is all I've used exclusively for years, and haven't considered anything else for woodworking. Maybe I'll write them a letter. LOL! Regards, Solomon

[@alanmorris8783]

Fine work Sir.

[@usualsuspect5173]

Fun to watch

[@tablature6121]

Agreed, Steve, fun to watch AND to listen to. If Jerry ever decides to quit luthier work (hope not), he'd have no problem getting work as a sports broadcast play-by-play commentator. I really like his detailed explanations, always peppered with a bit of humor now and again. Either that or maybe a preacher. LOL

[@lancehansen6018]

I am enjoying this allot. Thanks.

[@iamrichrocker]

love your Tshirt Jer..lol

[@DavidMFChapman]

Jerry, I don’t think you need a fancy temperature probe installed in the bender. You could “calibrate” the control on the power supply by marking positions that roughly correspond to temperatures as measured by the probe in a one-time session. It’s not precise, but from that point you would just use your experience and common sense.

[@jadedsoul1]

pc repair stores on amazon sell digi temp displays jerry. little lit up red or blue digi readout box with wire. there for cpu reading...im guessing harbour Freight may do one ? im uk..good luck, i made a killer pickup spinner from a bike speedo and mag switch for rev counts. works a charm. mine has a red led readout on the speed controller. great job...as usual.

[@jamesrobinson9494]

you are too hard on your self no one was ever born knowing every thing and we have a short time to learn so just keep getting better every day. good job thank you

[@RandySchartiger]

lol welcome to KZbin, where thoughts roam freely! and I mean freely! :P

[@DerekHerbst747]

Hey Jerry. Always a pleasure to watch your show. I reckon you want to stop apologizing for doing things the way you do them. Trolls are gonna troll even if you do it perfectly every time. Forget them. Keep up the great work and the very informative show! :)

[@RosaStringWorks]

It also helps cut down on all the questions. If you don't explain why you did something rather than something else everybody asks.

[@anthonykeach1788]

You can buy a digital thermostat on ebay to control the temperature, it will also give you a digital readout.

[@RosaStringWorks]

I have two of them

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Hi Jerry, told you that you would sort this out. Stewmac 0 Jerry Rosa 10. love this video clearly this new hot pipe works great. Peace and love from Bonny Scotland. By the way you are welcome here anytime my friend.

[@RosaStringWorks]

My mother's maiden name is Sconce. Is that a name you hear over there?

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Hi Jerry, I have checked and do not find the name sconce as being scottish derived but, the virtual meaning is basically a wall light or an adornment added to a wall hence the term sconce, this is when you think about it a wonderful thing it literally means it lights up your life, That is exactly what mothers do god bless each and every one of them without them there is no you or me. Peace and love, from Bonny Scotland.

[@arthurogle7581]

Jerry: Last week I bought a Mexican made X model Martin. I practically swiped it IMO. It's branded a "DX1 Dread". I researched all the info on Martin's site and they only provide info on the "DX1 AE" and the "DX1RAE". No idea what the different designation is. Cept Martin made DX1's in Nazareth at 1st. Then moved production to Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico. Those DX1's must be DX1AE?

[@maxwellmc9734]

Really interesting,.

[@stevenmiller5366]

very Interesting!!!

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Very nice video . . . is there a difference between the white and yellow glue? I heard that one of them has movement, where as the other doesn't . . .

[@todhollo1961]

Sweet

[@jessemora11]

I noticed that when you installed the heater element into your heat bender it fit very loose. It works well now but I'm wondering if it would work better if you filled in the gap with something like heat sink paste.

[@RosaStringWorks]

It must have just been in the video because it actually fits very tight

[@bengormly41]

Would it be possible to recess the iron and put a digital probe in contact under the table?

[@audiotechlabs4650]

I'm with Ken! Wonderful video! Was that Mahogany you made the kerfing out of? Any one could watch this build and learn how to build an acoustic guitar! Thanxz

[@RosaStringWorks]

Yes it was mahogany. Not sure what kind of mahogany.

[@marlinknable3543]

Good day to you. I enjoy your videos very much and try to make sure I see everyone some of them more than once if I want to learn something! I have a technical question for you I play a little southern gospel on my guitar.. it's a Martin d-35. Which I love very much. My question would be I toyed with the idea of putting Electronics in it. I don't know which would be the best I play mostly at home for my own entertainment and in church services both with congregation and special songs. I tell you that so you know how I use my guitar. I am not real fond of the idea of cutting a hole in my beautiful Martin. But I would like to be able to plug into the sound system at church when I sing.. we have a young lady in our church that plays and she put Electronics in hers but it's a pawn shop Fender and not an expensive Martin! So I would like professional Council before I would attempt to do such a thing. Thanks for any help you might be able to be. And thank you so much for all the wonderful videos!!

[@RosaStringWorks]

I would look into the LR Baggs products. They have several that would work. My recommendation would be the I-beam active system. The only hole you would have to drill would be where you're end pin/strap button goes. Good luck to you my friend.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Cats MEOW..? Cats whiskers or...the dogs bollocks...? Dogs Bollocks is good but the Cats Whiskers is supremely great!!

[@jarrodhurd3168]

You are a great luthier!! Do you make deer antler saddles for different guitars or do you make a certain size and the customer has to shape it to fit their instrument? I have a Tayler 410ce I would love to put one of your saddles on it.

[@RosaStringWorks]

Jarrod Hurd I don't make them for retail sale for guitars because they're so varied so many different sizes shapes excetera. When I'm working on a guitar in the shop I generally replace it with antler.

[@jarrodhurd3168]

I absolutely understand. What would you suggest for a first mandolin? I've been playing guitar for quite some time now but I know nothing about the mandolin. I know I love the sound and the tones of a nice mandolin.

[@keithhicks1750]

Hi Jerry, yet another excellent video, one thing missing from your videos is an apprentice, your skill and knowledge needs to be passed on to a youngster so that they are not lost. Whilst writing, I'd like to ask your advice if you have time to answer. I have an old 1972 model Kamaka Ukulele and thanks to your previous videos, I've noticed that the saddle is lifting off the top, I can slide a piece of paper under parts of it. I dropped it a while ago and had some other damage repaired but do not know if this damage is due to that or just old age. Should I get it fixed of leave well enough alone? I thought i noticed a change in its sound when it was fixed last time, do you think a loose saddle would do that. I'm sorry that this is so long and id you are too busy to answer, I quite understand. I would love to send it to you but I live in the UK so it is a bit far. thanks a lot. keith

[@RosaStringWorks]

A loose bridge is not a good thing. It can lead to bigger and worse problems. I probably would fix that. Yes the saddle in the bridge can change sound significantly. And the loose Bridge can also affect the sound significantly. Good luck to you my friend.

[@keithhicks1750]

Thanks Jerry , have good day

[@shadowstorm1928]

Lol us perfectionists don’t make good buisiness men.but we sure make some fine sounding things:).

[@mtnpwr]

I know what you mean about rushing when you bring your work into the house. Gotta hurry and get it done before the wife catches you! I understand

[@wayneshirey6999]

The cat's meow? I'll have to check with my great granddaughter, but I think what we really cool hep cats say nowadays is "da bomb." Or maybe it's "the bee's knees." Looks like a great set up in either case. Glad to see you back on the guitar build. BTW, I may have missed a video, but when did you move into the new shop?

[@RosaStringWorks]

Somewhere around video # 150

[@bakstabbath]

Wayne Shirey. "The cat's ass" is what I thought he was going to say at first lol

[@wayneshirey6999]

Rosa String Works I guess I saw it from different angles. It looked different.

[@wayneshirey6999]

And I didn't mean to sound like a smart-a..leck. I really do have a great granddaughter - and 2 great grandsons. I am very familiar with the cat's meow.

[@Nigelv]

The dust collection on the table saw sucks? Can't figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing... it's a vacuum isn't it? 😂

[@usualsuspect5173]

Wow..your'e a night owl !

[@michaelburkmier488]

How can I get those plans

[@markviereck4547]

What’s your cost on a guitar like this.. I am an Olson fan. He charges around $13,000 last time I looked.

[@RosaStringWorks]

$3,500. But that may be going up before too long.

[@doughurley6388]

Not hot enough the wood should steam when touched to the bender, also the wood may not be wet enough

[@raymondroot6528]

PID controller if you want o learn allllllll about it check out barley and hoops on youtube look through his videos for temp or PID controller builds he walks you through it and he gives his phone number so you can call him regarding the units he is very helpful and gracious you should check it out

[@RosaStringWorks]

Already did. I already called him. I had a huge misunderstanding it was much easier than I was trying to make it out.

[@usualsuspect5173]

" life is crap " shirt hahahahaha

[@jime386]

centigrade.... lol... my parents always pronounced it sonograde and sonometers.... and we were/are yanks

[@SweeneyTTodd]

Just a quick question , about the plans .... Are they from a Martin guitar or Taylor or even Gibson. ?

[@RosaStringWorks]

Supposedly there are a copy of a Martin HD 28 but I bought them from stewmac about 30 years ago

[@donaldholman9070]

Uh huh...

[@shadowstorm1928]

Pure silver is only.999 % btw lolol

[@itsawinnerfereal]

Too many adverts, so can't be bothered to watch

[@RosaStringWorks]

You wouldn't think so if you'd spent 8 to 10 hours putting the video together. I'm sorry I troubled you.

[@thomasthacker4939]

I will kindly accept his/her share.

[@thomasthacker4939]

At least you were bothered enough to share your comment. Keep up the good work.
