Bending Acoustic Guitar Sides | Using my Homemade Side Bender

Thank you Jeff.

Nice work man. Glad the bender you made worked out! Bending the sides is nerveracking. When you take it out of the foil and don’t see cracks is a great feeling, though!

[@homebuiltshop]

Its a very good feeling.

Glad you feel better. I just watched your making the side bending jig video within the last 24 hours. I'm glad to see it worked out as you planned. Looking forward to future videos.

Thank you. I'm super happy with the side bender. I just need to remember to hook the springs in the correct spot. Lol.

Hello, thank you for the amazing and educative content in your videos. I have a really small workshop down here in Uganda and I dont have machines to build perfect moulds and bending jigs. Is it possible to purchase some of these already made from you. Thank you

This is some of the coolest shit I have ever seen on KZbin.

not sure how important it is to stay centered when driving the bus, but you could consider adding a hole/center and an additional brace through the center, and then use a threaded insert as a pivot point? again may not be worth the squeeze but could add to your alignment enhancements.

Excellent video Jeff! Do you have a video that shows how you built the side press?

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks. I do have a video of building the bender. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHbTk4SOhpZjrpY

Thanks for the shoutout. You're welcome.

Any time man.

I've seen numerous videos on side bending but they never get around to showing how they make sure they have the waist lined up properly.

Do you have plans for the bending mold? Thx

[@vibrationNC]

Where did you get the spring steel? Please share?

[@CathyWhitener]

Hi. Have you seen the plans at Genone-luthier-supply to build your own side bender.

[@homebuiltshop]

I have seen them but decided to build my own bender. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHbTk4SOhpZjrpY
