Nicely done. Some great tips and techniques. Thanks. My brother, Paul is driving up to Bozeman from So. Cal. right now to visit his son's family. He may call you and see if he can visit your shop, if that's O.K.?

Thank you for this lovely video. I just finished my first bridge but I had a router for making the slots and not that nice plane you use. Very nice result compared to mine but I am sure my next will be better :)

[@Stephenmboone]

+Fernando Marcano Hi Fernando, I purchased the drill at a local store that sells tools. It is pretty cheap. The plow plane at 3:26 came from leevalley.com

Hi Stephen, What is the name of the tool that you used at minute 3:25 ? and where can we find it ?

[@Stephenmboone]

That is a plow plane. Available from Lee Valley tools of Canada. leevalley.com

[@FunnyCisco]

Thanks Stephen ! You're Awesome !!

[@padilino]

Hi Stephen. What blade size do you use in your plow plane? The smallest blade Veritas sells is 1/8. Is this not too large? Thanks a lot. Patrick

[@Stephenmboone]

+padilino 1/8 inch is correct

[@Nathan-mq2nc]

Where did you get your Plow plane?

[@Stephenmboone]

Lee Valley

[@ElephantsOnStilts]

"Custom guitar builds begin at $6500." -woah! that's too much for me lol. But if I could, I would buy one :)

[@costantinoproietti7578]

The thickess is 8 just mm. Why not 10. What is the final weight?

[@Stephenmboone]

My bridges are 8 thick with 4mm thick wings. It could be 10 but it would add weight. I cannot remember the weight of this bridge but they are usually about 18-20 grams.

[@costantinoproietti7578]

Thanks for the answer and for your original tips.

[@javierandressanchez9238]

😊

[@Godzillah]

so much tool for a bridge might as well buy a bridge.

[@Stephenmboone]

I use my tools for other jobs as well.

[@tMatt5M]

Would a router have had made life easier?

[@Stephenmboone]

+tMattLZ probably

[@walterrider9600]

thank you

[@charliebowen5071]

Stephen... what was the plough or plane you were using for the grooves??

[@Stephenmboone]

I think it is called a plough plane. I got it from Lee Valley Tools. They have a website. Thanks!
