Guitar Bridge Repair

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Always good to have a woodworking friend 😉 really enjoyed the ending something a little different 😊

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers mate. It was nice filming something without having to worry about being in front of the camera, meant I could take the time to set up lighting and camera angles etc - enjoyable!

[@pitsnipe5559]

Even better, having a friend with a commercial grade workshop. 😉

[@paultay23]

Well done Keith...nice job...you just showing off now with your additional guitar skills 👏👏👏👏👏

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Paul

Such a pleasure to watch your work. Your narration is always excellent. As a teacher who creates lots of digital material for special education, I know the importance of clarity and sincerity when narrating, and you make your viewers feel like they are in your shop learning a craft. Thanks!

[@janiceperla5506]

To quote Miles Davis "music was my first love and it'll be the last music of the future the music of the past" Thank you for taking such beautiful care and repairing that gorgeous guitar

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@dannybaker2763]

I honestly did not expect to enjoy that one as much as I did. Excellent stuff, as per usual. Keep 'em coming.👍🏻

[@athenarocar]

Fantastic job. I am sure your friend is super happy to have his guitar fixed and playable again. I was just thinking about my violin I have that needs a major overhaul right before seeing your video. Now I am inspired to make the 45+ clamps I need to reglue the top and backs to the ribs. This violin holds many memories and no repair shop will fix it.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers, good luck with that

[@robertbamford8266]

Curious about why the repair shops declined to fix it. Too damaged to be reasonably sure of a good result no matter what the price?

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Keith! 😃 It sounds great! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@benclark1123]

I really enjoyed that one. Nice to see you both play at the end

[@carlafriesen8501]

This was great. Enjoyed seeing this musical side of you. And your friend plays beautifully. Thanks 😊

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah he's great! Cheers👍

[@SujMenon]

The guitarist ! Liked the end bit jam session 👍😁

Big thumbs up for Paul, nicely played sir :)

Beautiful job! That is a very lovely guitar.

Well, that was different! Very enjoyable.

Nice video. particularly liked the musicality. Regards JP

Great work on the guitar repair Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP

[@erictheviking672]

Good to see. My first guitar from when I was 8 has the bridge coming away, maybe it's time to give this a go... cheers and I liked the ending from you both.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Tidy job dude! I’m always surprised with how strong wood glue is for this purpose, and for necks, wonderful stuff 👍👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Dean

[@SparrowStockwell]

Nicely done.

[@lorimecikalski3079]

You play the guitar very well. Man what can't you do!?!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheees, I played in bands for nearly 20 years as a young un. There's plenty I can't do!

[@bobrice3957]

Wow. Tuned in for woodwork tips and get a music video as a bonus. Thanks.

[@TheNaturalWorkshop]

Great job, loving the different video content 👍🏼

[@pteddie6965]

The guitar sounds and looks good. Kudos for taking care of your friend.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@pbtubelog]

Hi, thank you for your video. I've noticed there is a gap about 0.4 mm on the bottom of the bridge on my classical guitar. I can tell weather is lifting up or maybe was not glued right many years ago when it was repaired. Do I wait until the bridge comes off or should I try to fix it before? Thank you.

[@jonathanking4107]

Excellent, loved this. When you said you were taking the guitar to dry into the heated house, in my head I heard haunted house. So can you please make a video of you doing some woodwork in a haunted house. Thanks.

[@karenstimson2683]

Good job sir🙌

[@MJ-nb1qn]

I wonder how many Luthiers had a stroke when you pulled out the big cast clamp! You did a fine job👍

[@KLWStrings]

Nicely done, nothing wrong with your process.. One of the main reasons for using titebond 1 is it can be reversed if someone needs to do work in the future..

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Kerry

[@miki09876]

How?

[@KLWStrings]

@@miki09876 Titebond 1 can be reversed with heat and moisture not as easy as hide glue but can be done.

[@johnsmith-fz3qk]

Skills!... Paul, a custom guitar theme for the repair videos please if you would sir! 😜

[@MrBez007]

Great repair. Client will be over the moon. Personally I've more faith in the everbuild glue than the titebond. Found it and their d4 stuff to be the best glue I've used. Had a couple of disappointing results with titebond so started with the everbuild and never looked back.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I think the reason why titebond is favoured for repairs to guitars is that the glue is reversible with heat. I guess if I'd have glued it on backwards like I almost did, that would be a good thing! But yeah the 502 is great 👍

[@MrBez007]

@@RagnBoneBrown I did not know that. Useful to know thanks

[@stevesmith6554]

Add luthier to your long list of skills. Good job!

[@rodneysmart9774]

I'd cure that glue for three days before stringing, but you pulled it off nicely.

[@jolox.]

Good tips! I have a cracked bridge on my Sigma by Martin and have been watching a lot of youtubes to figure out how to fix it. This is very helpful! I like the jig clamp you made with the bandsaw. I just bought a clamp thing from Amazon where the clamp is held by a screw going through the string hole on the bridge. Any concerns about that? Or is that a good idea? Gonna subscribe to support your good efforts!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks. It's not something I've tried but I don't have any concerns

[@libbyhardel1826]

So you can make things, fix things, AND play guitar? Cool!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks!

[@malcolmmiller7878]

Where do you get those clamps?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

[@loadsamonkeys]

Lovely job. Titebond do a little brown bottle of hide glue which you can use cold. I believe the advantage is that you can break the bond later via percussive shock, hence why you'd use it for e.g. a guitar nut and I guess it means the glue breaks rather than the wood which would be good for a bridge. Don't think it's stronger than standard titebond. It has a pretty long working time but it goes out of date fairly quick so don't buy a lot!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers I'll check it out

[@theriggsworkshop8606]

Great video. As always.. I actually made a video on this exact subject. 502 v's titebond.. Might be interesting for you..

Something really different! Please feature more repairs, when you do them.

[@Wordsnwood]

this is weird, Keith, but I had that exact same sheet that you're using as a bench padding as paint dropcloth ...

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I actually had the same sheet when I was a child too! This one was found in the garage when we moved in though. They were obviously popular!

[@jsmits8]

Okay. You’ve raised the bar. Always end your videos now with you playing the guitar.

[@DiHandley]

I would have done it with a belt sander. Maybe that’s why I don’t get any guitar repair jobs!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

🤣

[@chrishartle1326]

You’ve got your own heated house just for drying glue 😃

[@robertbamford8266]

Lots of vibration. Lots of tension/stress. I wonder how common glue failure is on guitars.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It's pretty common, this is the third I've repaired in my lifetime

[@damedoug935]

I would recommend using the guitar body to sand the glue of the bridge next time as the top of the guitar would have warped and moved over the years It creates a tighter adherence with less air pockets. Important as all the string tension is held on the bridges glue point!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It doesn't need to match the body of the guitar perfectly, wood glue is stronger than the wood itself, so as long as it is clamped well enough it will be more than strong enough

[@harveychuckles3780]
