Fantastic work, thank you for showing your mistakes and their repairs. I tried building guitars about ten years ago, but didn't have the knowledge or skills back then to complete one. Seeing you use a router as a rough planer was inspiring, I may give it another shot in the near future. Thanks

Really nice guitar build it looks great! It really helps to first sand or plane most of the material before you rout, specially the end grain the router really wants to grab end grain! What I do is sand almost to the line leaving less that a business card's thickness of material for the router to clean up, its less work for the router and the sanding smooths the surface making it less likely for the router to grab it. Also try not to start your pass on end grain, start from a side that has already been routed and ease your way into the cut. We all had stuff like this happen hope this helps!

@ianbroughton7074 5 ай бұрын

I think all of us diy luthiers have had the router jump on us like that, though that was more intense than anything I've experienced. That thing had air time. Glad to see you made the most of it though, it's a wicked axe. Stay safe. 😅

@DUY1337GUITAR 5 ай бұрын

I learned afterwards that the Infinity Tools bit is known to seriously throw if it ever grabs, so starting on end grain was just asking for it to happen.

haha, I went through exactly the same process on my second build - I had a massive tearout on the headstock which basically shredded it and I had to make a new neck, and then got extremely nervous about using the router for a long time afterwards. I ended up solving my fear issue by buying a set of 3 different length bearing bits, and I no longer take full-depth cuts all the way through the body/neck. Instead, I put the template on the bottom, and start with a short, stubby bit, take about 10mm depth, then switch to a slightly longer bit, go up to 25mm depth, and then finally go to the full-length bit and remove the remainder. A lot less chance of tearout when removing less material, and one the first two cuts, the remaining material above the cut also helps to reduce tearout as it supports the wood fibers that are being removed below it.

As someone who does a lot of laminating for furniture, hear are a couple of tips to help you glue better. Instead of a flat paddle to spread your glue, try either a foam paint roller or a silk screen ink roller. It will make a more uniform layer of glue (thin and even with complete coverage). Also, use cauls instead of the two center clamps. Cauls are easily made, you want the board you use to be taller than wide, as it works better for distributing the clamping force. Flatten one edge, then the arc built up through multiple layers of tape, like a pyramid) will give more even pressure across the full gluing surface. A great video that shows the process is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZXIhnWreLR1eLMsi=f4HFT6nFMx7caQRy You can skip to about 3 minutes in, if making the cauls is all you want to see.

I just started woodworking so I'm still green. What happened at 13:20 ? Was it because you moved the guitar neck same direction the router bit was spinning ?

@DUY1337GUITAR 2 күн бұрын

It's because I started on end grain, and that specific Infinity bit is notorious for being grabby according to other people's experiences.

@@DUY1337GUITAR could you tell please, what kind of cover do you use on a body? As far as I understood first you use some sort of stain. What kind of dye was that? is it just a normal wood paint or is it some other sort of solution? do you blend it with activators or it's just a simple dye. I would really appreciate if you write a name of some dye you used. Could you also tell, what do you apply at 47:10 using spray can? And I also a bit confused. So you applied a finish lacquer with manually with foam and then sanded it slightly to polish after at 52:40, right? And also what's the difference between polishing at this time section? Do you used two different polishes for coarse and fine polishing? Thanks for your answers.

@DUY1337GUITAR 6 ай бұрын

@@1001.1-y I used transtint dyes mixed with denatured alcohol. After dye, I sprayed Mohawk's pre-catalyzed sanding sealer to seal the color. I wiped on Aqua Coat grain filler (several applications) and sprayed sanding sealer again. For clear coat, I brushed on Crystalac's water-based polyurethane. Since this is a water-based finish, I can't wet sand like with lacquer, so I used Super Assilex and Super Bufflex abrasives for dry sanding after a month of curing. For polishing, I used Menzerna 2500 compound, 3800 compound, and Power Lock.

@@DUY1337GUITAR So in total: 1. stain -> 2. dyes -> 3. sanding sealer -> 4. grain filler -> 5. sanding sealer -> 6. polyurethane (pure or water-based) -> 7. dry sanding. Should it really be curing than long? A whole month? Is it viable to apply another type of finish that can reach proper condition for further operations within a couple days? I also would like to ask. For example if I want to leave a body with natural color and tactile feeling what should I use after staining? Is it fine to use tung oil or wood oil? Are they reversible? I mean do I have a risk to have a reaction with hand salt while playing at touch spots? As I heard, Gibson like to use oils as finish and they have those issues while you play 2-3 months and body becomes sticky, greeny with lots of dirt from hands. Are there any ways to prevent it without using gloss / satin solid finishing?

I would have gotten one of the kits from woodgrainjunkies and sourced the rails separately if I had a trim router, but I have a larger router so I had to make my own from parts. When you order the rails (amazon and ebay have them), they often come with the bearing blocks and clamps included. Rails on the table: SBR16 rails with SBR16UU bearing blocks. Rails for the router: SFC16 rails with SC16 bearing blocks and SK16 clamps. You can search for their spec sheets to find bolt sizes.
