How to make an acoustic guitar side bender. Part 4

[@MaisBiologiaRoger]

Dear luthier, I really need to thank you for these videos. I still bend sides in an old fashion way. Surely, now I will ameliorate my way of folding sides.

[@StapletonGuitars]

Thank you. This is exactly why I've made these videos, to make luthiers' life easier. :)

[@drniksguitargarage]

Thank you for sharing this build with us!

[@StapletonGuitars]

You're very welcome. I'm glad that you like it.

Do you have any info for those final pieces you put on that you attached the springs to? I did t see those anywhere in the 4 parts.

[@jdstirl1]

Fantastic videos... pls advise re diameter of the large threaded rod that you use to drive the piston... 15mm?

[@StapletonGuitars]

Hi, I use 3/4 Acme (Square 6 TPI) Threaded Rod

[@tomalexiou9573]

Hi Staple guitars.What size springs should I use? 6-8inch?

[@StapletonGuitars]

The spring size is 166 x 19.1mm

[@tomalexiou9573]

Thank you.

[@tomalexiou9573]

Great build! Is this side bender based on The one made by William Peterson building the guitar sides a book available on Amazon?

[@StapletonGuitars]

Hi Tom, thanks. Unfortunately I didn't know about this book, so I've made it from scratch.

[@SteveStubbert]

could you tell me the spring dimensions you use (the springs that hook on the sides)

[@StapletonGuitars]

Sure, the spring size 166 x 19.1mm

[@tomalexiou9573]

Gonna guess you built this for about $125.00.!❤

[@StapletonGuitars]

Sorry, I can't give you the exact number, I just didn't count it, but I think you probably right.

[@mindless2831]

Definitely less than the $2k stewmac wants for the same thing haha.
