One of the most challenging parts of cutting headstock binding channels is hand-chiseling accurate inside corners (especially if you are just starting as a luthier). Those inside corners have to be just right to get perfect miter joints in your binding and purfling, but the simple tips in this video can help you get better results more consistently, and I find it more enjoyable too.

I have those same magnifiers! I haven’t seen anyone else with them before! I use those all day in the shop. The reason I have those is because they belonged to my mom. She used to crochet with them back in the 90s. So they make me think of her.

Your shop is a model of what I’d like to have in my basement. Clean, organized and everything at hand.

Great video. I love your work and your channel. The production quality of your videos are top notch. What microphone do you use? I noticed that you are not wearing a lapel mic but your voice is crisp and clear. Keep up the great work!

Awesome Video! Thanks for the tip!

You mention tear out & I have to wonder if you use router climb cuts on headstock veneer, same as you might when routing body binding channels.

[@TheArtOfLutherie]

Yes, I use a climb-cut for sure on any binding channel I do, it really helps to reduce tear out.
