How to make a guitar neck rest with some basic tools (DIY)

[@1foulman]

This was maybe my first project in my guitar building journey. Here's a couple bucks to help with the shed

[@markcotton7081]

I was wondering what to do with the leftover chunks of mahogany from my build. Thanks Daniel!

[@teamjackedsolutions8465]

I really like the manner in which you explain things. Good job on this video, I want to make a neck rest now!

Buenas noches. Muy buen trabajo y explicación. Notable el detalle, el hombre se toma el trabajo de aclarar la forma correcta de descartar los paños contaminados ... espero sepamos tomar el consejo. Muchas gracias. Continúa con los videos. Y con la ayuda del traductor de G,,, Goodnight. Very good work and explanation. Remarkable detail, the man takes the matter of clarifying the correct way to dispose of contaminated cloths ... I hope we know how to take the advice. Thanks a lot. Please continue with the videos.

Could you tell me, Where did you have the badge made? Thank you very much.

Hi Daniel, the idea for the guitar neck rest is great and I like the design. I think it's cool that you show how it can be made with simple hand tools and explain everything necessary in an easy to understand way. Thanks and greetings to the Netherlands from Germany 👍👏🙋‍♂️

Hi Burkhard, Thank you very much for the compliment. I really appreciate you mentioning the way I explain things and how easy it is to understand and that hopefully means I'm on the right track with my style of videos and explaining.

[@BHiemisch]

@@UnquendorGuitars Indeed you are, go on

Hi, what blades do you use on that jigsaw as it cuts so straight? I mean, that when I try to cut curves, blade will always go different path on other side. Especially with wood this thick. Even on straights it tends to do that. I have Makita jigsaw and I have tried at least three different type of blades.

[@EmotionsToBurn-mi8fv]

I’m not sure what he uses but I use Diablo blades they aren’t the cheapest but they are amazing

Piece of art!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Ton, Thanks and it's also very useful piece of art.

Thank you muy friend, I was just needing something like this, Congratulations from Argentine!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Hugo, You're welcome. And have fun making your own neck rest.

[@KMarieVermeulen]

That’s my handy man!

[@dcontari]

Well done!

I like this design and I can finally use an off cut from a piece of 8/4 poplar lumber. Question…why did you put the rubber on the larger radius on the underside of the rest, near the support legs? I assume the guitar will always rest on the smaller radius on the top.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi MixingGBPO, Thank you for your question. Some guitars may require a lower neck rest. By adding the rubber to the 'underside' I can use that side if needed. With this design I basically have 3 neck rest heights in one.

[@MixingGBP]

@@UnquendorGuitars Ah, very nice. Thanks!

[@eldereth]

Cool video as always!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Eldereth, Thank you once again!

[@mrwaffles1394]

As always, awesome video.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hey David, As always, thank you very much!

What is the drawing by the window? It looks cool.

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Dangnabbit, You mean the drawing of the Dragon? It is the design of the 12th fret inlay on my latest guitar build. I made a video about it if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbWXqZuprZjnJo

[@Birkguitars]

@@UnquendorGuitars Great video. I am hoping to have my own workshop early next year. This is inspiring a lot of design ideas!

[@uptownphotography]

Excellent Video. I may give it a try. I like the design as well. Looks like it would be very stable with the wide base...(Giving you a sub as well for a great job)... Philip NYC / Jersey Shore Area

Nice 🙂

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi Julian, Thank you very much.

[@tomrivans9102]

Will you make me one please?

[@tribestribes2555]

Why should it allways be those distortion guitars screaming around, when sawing, rasping and sanding. Quite disturbing actually.

[@slinkytreekreeper]

[@UnquendorGuitars]

I took your comment to hearth and started to tone down the distorted guitars and heavy songs. Thank you for pointing this out as a fan of heavy metal and distorted guitars myself I didn't realise it might not always be the best choice to put it under every clip in every video.
