A new Guitar Build part 6: Doing an aluminium Dragon inlay.

[@mikemorgan6733]

The sandpaper in the jewelers saw is nothing short of brilliant!

[@Schaz42]

Dude that is friggin amazing!!!! Well done sir 👏

[@johnr.b.murray3417]

Good show. Another step by step seminar that delivers. Cheers.

[@mattfleming2287]

Thanks for all the tips-love the sandpaper in the jewelers saw. I really enjoy your relaxed manner. You show how patience and taking your time pay off. That dragon inlay is beautiful. You’re making me come up with all sorts of ideas, but I don’t have a workshop or any power tools. I’ll have to improvise I guess.

[@markmelville6670]

Sandpaper in the jewelers saw! What! Never thought of that. Thanks!

[@tomasharris3883]

looks top notch professional to me, and i'm doing epoxy inlays👍👍👍

[@maxwellmc9734]

Brilliant info 👌 can understand YOU PERFECTLY 🎸

[@JohnClothier]

It was worth watching this video just to see how you sand the inside. That inlay looks amazing and really sets the neck off! Thanks for sharing!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi John. Thank you once again for your nice comment. I’m glad to hear you got something useful from this video.

[@JohnClothier]

Unquendor Guitars I’m learning a lot from you and your videos. Thank you!

[@sandrodamico2641]

This is probably the best video I've seen on doing fret board inlays. All of your videos are very well done. Thanks for your clarity and excellent production values. BTW, the method I've used for gluing in inlays is to premix wood dust into the glue before applying it. I've used clear epoxy for this so I'm not sure if it would work with super glue. It works very well with epoxy. Thanks again.

[@cmjudco]

Beautiful! Outstanding job!!!

[@Pete_R199er5]

Wow!. I'm really impressed with your great work. Many thanks for doing this great video. You are an inspiration.

[@robinlawson701]

Really nice & detailed work. Exceptional commentary with every step explained in an eloquent manner. Yes, we can tell that English is not your first language, but your use of English is a joy to behold (as well as the woodworking of course).

[@guiterman6263]

I built to dude have been for over 20 years now great job dude.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Guitarman62, Thank you very much!

That was great work brother thanks for sharing

[@markcotton7081]

Very cool! Love your work!

[@brandonb1681]

The dragon inlay is very nice. Kudos for making your own routing base for your Dremel.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

Such fine, precise work. A joy to watch your craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Running with Scissors, Thank you. I appreciate it!

[@bertrodriguez3087]

Cool trick with the coping saw and the sandpaper.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hey Bert, Thank you! It's a very useful trick indeed and there are more uses for it than just inlays.

[@roberttaylor7732]

Just beautiful.

[@kshitij2454]

You are amazing. I aspire to be like you.

[@favrejean-michel1543]

Nice job, realy and very instructive!

Hi Favre Jean-Michel, Thank you very much! Nice to hear you're getting some useful information from my videos.

I absolutely loved your vid my friend. Can't wait to see more, more than earned my sub and like.

awesome job on the inlay, just subscribed.

Hi Julio, You're welcome.

[@markaustin9590]

Beautiful work

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Mark, Thank you very much!

[@mgcnashville6615]

Did you draw the design in cad? Or illustrator? When I do my logos, I typically put a centerline, and fret positions going through the logo, so I can easily line it up with the centerline of the fretboard

[@steveguitar3562]

Hi Daniel, how does aluminum hold up over time? Does it get scratched or show signs of wear from contact with the strings? Thank you.

[@DanielJAudette]

Have you thought about getting an adjustable speed scroll saw which would save a lot of time cutting out you aluminum

[@gmckinney12]

good stuff! inspiring!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Gene, Thank you very much!

[@GuitarGuyMertin]

Your videos are awesome man, great work! Where could I buy a protractor like you have? Handy little tool

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Justin, Thanks for the compliment. The protractor I use is made by Incra. Here in the Netherlands I can buy it at most mayor tool web-shops But here is an Amazon link for you it might help you on your way to find a store near you. www.amazon.com/PROTRAC06-6-Inch-Precision-Marking-Protractor/dp/B00002255K The protractor is available in both Metric and Imperial so check this before you order so you get the required system.

[@josephsullivan9497]

Good

[@pizeta1976]

Daniel, I oftern watch your video as I am building a couple of bass guitars. Very inspiring your way to work and build quality. I have one question... where did you find the marker tool, very close to a protractor? Is that an Incra brand one?

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Paolo, Yes it is an Incra protractor. There is an Amazon link in the video description.

[@mushussocialmadnesss1613]

How will you get the fret wore in the inlay?

[@guiterman6263]

People don't realize just what it takes to build guitars and why they are worth what they are you know what i mean dude.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Guitarman62, I know exactly what you mean. It's very hard having to convince people about the time and effort it takes to build a good guitar and having to defend your pricing and the amount of work and money you've put in.

[@guiterman6263]

@@UnquendorGuitars yes and if it was the other way around they would charge that price too.

[@chriss2452]

I don't understand how you avoid destroying the inlay when you route for the frets

[@秉李]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Synic42]

I thought that shape looked familiar, that looks like the Kali Linux dragon ;)

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hey Synic42, Apart from both being stylized Wyverns/Dragons they are quite different but I can see where you're aiming at. I think a Dragon or Wyvern is probably one of the most stylized figures out there so I tried to make sure not to copy any existing designs, but changes are there will be a resemblance somewhere.

[@robertdean621]

Did you make the radius beam yourself? If so how?

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Robert, Yes I did. I have a video on it on my channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2jbfIeAYqh7oc0

[@MrSuganutz]

Where can i get a protractor like yours boss?

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Stephen. The brand of my protractor is Incra. Amazon (usually) has them in both Metric and Imperial or just use google to find a seller near you. Also Crimson Guitars sells their version.

[@cabronismo]

Whats the 2 brands pf CA you are using?

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Cabronismo, The brands I use in this video are "Ever Build" and "Zwaluw/Den Braven", but this varies depending on which store I'm going to when I run out. I always make sure I have three different viscosities though, high, medium and low and I'm not that concerned about which brand it is.

[@matteagle6914]

first the sawdust and then the glue worked out for me in the past. this way you have no pockets of only glue. btw. you forgot to put pt.5 into the playlist.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Matt. You’re correct. The way I do it has a chance of creating glue pockets, although this hasn’t happened to me yet. I had it the other way around though where the glue didn’t soak all of the dust. Of course you can then reapply more glue. It’s a personal way of doing things I guess. Also thank you for the heads up on the missing episode in the playlist. I will add it ASAP.

[@guiterman6263]

Theres a lot of time in building a guitar lol.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hey Guitarman62, Yes there is. I wish there were 36 hours in a day.

'Aloominum'? Why do people from other countries use American-English pronunciations when speaking English? The English don't pronounce it like that and it's their language.
