Way to go Freddy! When you see the loving care that Freddy puts into these builds it makes you think if the modern 'mass produced' versions are really worth the fortune they charge. Great work, can't wait for the next part! Best, Jonathan

One board in the top wasn’t flat prior to jointing. That’s what threw the angle off during the jointing operation.

Great vid Freddy. One thought on your template to evaluate boards. I bought a thin sheet of plexiglass from Home Depot and drew an LP shape on it. Works great because you can see the entire guitar (both sides).

@rohankhemraj7 жыл бұрын
great video! I have a question...Could you have used a leveling beam and sandpaper to fine tune the high spots in the joint?
@FreddysFrets7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Rohan. Nothing produces a better joint than a handplane. The action of a sharp blade slicing off a continuous shaving leaves the surface with cleanly severed wood cells free of loose fibres, this is perfect for joining. Also, it's important to understand how wood glues work. Roughening surfaces for gluing promotes "mechanical adhesion" which is fine for the way some glues work....such as epoxy. But wood glues work in a different way..."specific adhesion". Scientific research has shown that mechanical adhesion is insignificant compared to the chemical attachment due to molecular forces between the adhesive and the wood surface.
@youtubecommentor44802 ай бұрын
Hi Freddy! At 12:15 you begin planning the edges of the maple top in the vise. Can you please tell me why you chose not to use a shooting board with the plane positioned on its side? Planning freehand in the vise would tend to cause the plane to ‘perhaps’ wobble and not remain dead-flat on the wood as the plane moves down its length. But it sure turned-out great otherwise. Just trying to learn. Thanks Freddy!
@FreddysFrets2 ай бұрын
Great question! I only use a shooting board if the pieces are thin...like for joining acoustic tops and backs for example.. In this case where each piece is maybe 3/4" thick or more, it's quite enough width to keep the sole of the plane supported so the plane can't wobble.
