I Build JOCKO A Guitar

[@danmccann6666]

6:50 "Jordan did a great job", nice! That should be the next shirt design.

[@jordanheider2662]

I like it

[@mikedonaldson8898]

I love this and…..it so hilarious to see John sweating and nervous like a little school girl! Jocko is amazing human being and I’m glad you guys were able to pull this off!

[@Wolf626man]

Right! He’s so nervous lol

[@cpl_0503]

I have to say... my favorite part was John being so completely tongue tied and nervous when he meets Jocko. My 11-year-old looked EXACTLY the same when he got to meet John Cena. Exactly the same look and almost exactly the same ability to speak and think. You have to laugh when you realize even the biggest guy has someone that can make them turn into a little boy. You just have to love when guys of any age meet their hero/idol/mentor - it's a truly honest moment. Great stuff... and a great project. Thanks for sharing.

[@itsdaroc11]

You've both got such personality in front of the camera. It's really cool to see you guys humble, stumble and fumble your words when you meet him. You can see the genuine appreciation. Cool project guys.

[@fooddude9921]

Argggh, as George Costanza would say, "My KZbin worlds are colliding!" John looked about as nervous as a kid asking out his first date - lol. GREAT build guys, Jocko was genuinely impressed.

[@malonecustomdesigns]

I have never heard of Joko, but it was fun watching John be so nervous talking to him! lol

[@danieldryden542]

I love all you guys and you always make me laugh out loud! I loved seeing the humanity John shows when talking to Jocko, I can relate to that nervous energy. you were great in that moment!!

[@Diekenes24]

I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but you asked for ideas so here it goes. My best friend and I were in the Marines together, we deployed twice together. I got out a few years ago, but he became an Army officer. He recently was deployed to Afghanistan but had to come home early due to his mothers passing. I really want to do something nice for him. I was thinking about a coffee table shadow box. Wondering if you could do some plans with that Malecki flare we know and love.

[@robm9772]

The most likely reason for the one particular layer of resin not hardening is probably because it wasn't mixed or ratio'd properly. Also, when doing multiple layers like that, instead of waiting until the prior layer fully cures and then scuffing it, it's actually better/easier to pour the next layer when the prior layer is still tacky. Better adhesion between the layers and you won't end up with lines.

[@stephentallo8181]

Epic. Jocko is everything you’ve said to many, great job passing it forward. The craftsmanship in this work is fantastic. The build, idea, workmanship and delivery are the bomb. Bravo Zulu.

[@Texan2a]

Last build in the old shop. Good times. Nice work fellas.

[@ModernBuilds]

Let’s goooo!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@cbailey217]

Do a Cajun Two Step Logo sign in epoxy for Stalecracker. Maybe backlight the epoxy. Lets get it dude!

[@davidhansen1209]

Absolutely badass gents!!! Next you guys should make a military retirement gift for a random service member!!! Too many guys get "just ok gifts" for their retirement. I've made a bunch of custom gifts for guys. It always great seeing a service member light up to something hand made just for them!!! If you guys need idea's let me know??? Im a former Green Beret and my goal is to become a full time maker. I love your content!!!

[@Nocturnal2010]

Jocko is the man 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 great team up

[@dislikedsteak]

You guys should do a nckon guitar for John dudley

[@jong9786]

Do a bass guitar for Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. He just beat cancer and has changed some many lives with his music.

[@hamsickle1]

Jocko for the win. the guitar turned out amazing guys! 👏

[@billdiehl156]

I love Sam singing Jordan’s theme song, “If you wanna be dumb, put it on KZbin “. 😂

[@deepthoughtjonez2427]

With the SG pickup wiring tunnel to the volume and tone pots and again to the jack; consider using heat shrink tubing, like you see with electrical wiring's insulation, as like a placeholder bc alot of products for electric wiring I've used have a shrink temp of 70° to 115°C (158° to 239°F). Well above the 20° to 25°C ambient room temp. and maximum temp. during the exothermic reaction of the epoxy resin's hardening process. I think they're made out of either rubber or like a polyurethane mixture either way even if it gets stuck to the epoxy you could stick a is heated metal rod through to shrink it. Actually the weight of the resin could colapse the tubing so maybe already have the metal rod in place when you pour, with something else disposable to fill the gap between the two like a straw. I wouldn't recommend cutting the length of wire off the and just putting it in position before the pour bc each end would increase the number of points of signal degradation and potential loss of signal if a single wire connection becomes dislodged with the beating guitars often take over the years its all but inevitable. Just a thought

[@brandongood4240]

John + Jocko = Badassery 👌

[@carolbuzelim]

Look at john fangirling how cute

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Congratulations boys on this project. Awesome video. Really love how it turns out. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.

[@PosyLubelak]

What a cool project ! I could sense the emotion when u talked to Jocko in person and I understand it 100%;D

[@darrinlindsey]

The mushiness could be a combination of things. Jess probably talked to you about all of them. But, not having the epoxy resin at the right temperature when you poured, will cause it to not cure correctly.

[@nicobrouwer4598]

John you’re a woodworker but you haven’t made a wooden guitar yet! Please do a scratch build man

[@jordanheider2662]

Hahaha this actually so funny and true

[@danielreyes8370]

Beautiful build bros 🔥🔥🔥 wish I could of watched your live chat you recently did 😔 sadly I was working. But love seeing your new vids (even your old videos I keep re watching). Keep up the amazingnes and can't wait for more videos. 😎

[@donnygrahambuilds]

Dude - such a cool idea! Jocko is one of the all time greats, 100%. If you guys know Jocko, I'd like to think you know Jordan B. Peterson as well (if you don't, look him up - same kind of life-changing content, incredible). JBP did a lecture where he discusses the idea that everything you do, from the small things to the big things has a larger impact than you expect. And thats because "you're a node, in a network". He says "You know a thousand people...That means that you're one person away from a million people and two persons away from a billion people. And you're the center of that network." My idea for the last 6 months or so is the make picture frame, using the lichtenberg wood burning technique, filled with epoxy to represent his idea. Then print off a copy of his '12 Rules for Life' and send it to him in the frame. As a representation of the massive impact he has on my own life as well as the millions of others by being a node in his network...My only hang has been that the Lichtenberg technique is crazy intimidating, and I haven't been able to pull the trigger on it yet.

[@firemanj35]

It's cool that even you get nervous meeting one of your idols

[@ILikeYous]

Jocko is awesome, good job man,

[@decorummortis5175]

I think y'all need to do something for all your viewers and fans. Just a art piece for the shop

[@3literheater]

This looks awesome! Did the finish you guys sprayed on orange peel?

[@John_Malecki]

it did, we did some sanding between coats and got it out tho!

[@krismebz8917]

VIDEO IDEA: I’d like to see some furniture that conceals pistols/rifles in plain sight

[@TOTHEPOINT82]

Your willingness to jump face first while not having a clue is applause worthy.

[@rupertpika151]

Goggins...not sure what you could make him...epoxy running shoes...other guys that come to mind are different medal of honor recipients like Clint Romesha and Dakota Meyer...or if you wanna make a big splash...do one for Rogan...

[@RonansYouTube]

Oh John you big softy!! :)

[@dogtiredguitars]

John, while I love your channel and your work, please leave the guitar building to guitar builders. I applaud your fearless attitude in jumping in, though. 💪🏻💪🏻

[@nolanstevenson3510]

Love this love Jacko awsome job guys!

[@bulltastik]

Super cool…all the way around👊🏼

[@JustinMac33]

I would love to see if you could get Joe rogan a table for his podcast, would be cool to see you on the podcast

[@nunyabiznis3595]

"If ya gonna be dumb, put it on youtube" T shirt idea.

[@bsimmons00]

It's not that Jocko smiled, it's that he let you leave alive...

[@vascorfael7223]

Jocko will eventually run for office and i love it. Republicans need someone like him

[@jacosworkshop]

It would be awesome to make something out of resin filled with credit cards for Dave Ramsey

[@TheClintB]

I'm a little late here, and this looks to be just like all the other comments, but it's touching (and a little uncomfortable) to see how obviously nervous John is when first talking to Jocko. I know that feeling. It feels like you're running out of breath while trying to talk, and in weird, unnatural moments. You become hyper aware of how weird you sound, and that just makes you sound even more weird and nervous.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Love it!

[@_woodworking-wz5iw]

Last project filmed in the old shop😊

[@Joe___R]

Total boat makes great epoxy but none of their epoxies are actually clear, they all have a bit of a yellow tint to them new. For a build that will have clear epoxy without a backer to it I would go with a different brand that is actually clear.

[@helimech0]

I am wondering where you got the templates to rout the cavaties. I was using Stuert Macdonald when I was building guitars.

[@DelugeQuebec]

It certainly not Wizardress tho

[@DrivingWithJake]

Very nice! :D

[@chucklivinlarge563]

Bad ass!

[@spinynorman887]

The guitar looks awesome, but the real question is: HOW DOES IT SOUND!?

[@sflowers99gmail]

Were you reaching for "Sorcerous" perhaps?

[@ONEpocketKID21]

Love the little shivers in Johns voice talking to Jocko. Beautiful build guys!

[@Calaxt01]

He legit got nervous when Jocko said, "what are you doing talking to my daughter". Can't say I blame him haha. Great pieces, great video.

[@SirReality]

how awesome is that, when Jocko said, "you changed your lives" when John talked about the books changing their lives. epic

[@waldo_r3571]

These guitars are coming out better and better. My recommendation for next on your list is Adam Savage. Maybe not a guitar, but hell, why not. A resin guitar filled with miniatures of films he’s worked on, or pieces of old “artifacts” from Mythbusters. He’s impacted so many people, myself included, with his films, his shows, and his KZbin series. He’s the reason why I am not afraid to dive head first into any type of project in front of me. Keep up the great work!

[@enemy-og]

1up the vote for Adam Savage, he loves creator to creator gifts and I think that would be an awesome collaboration.

[@SmokeAndClickCircles]

hell yea

[@endo71]

Everyone gonna get caught up in the reveal and miss Jordan getting complimented at 6:50. Good work Jordan! But also, super fun to see John fangirling.

[@jordanheider2662]

I believe it was Opposite Day that day in the shop. But thank you! I was very nervous

[@mrdooder1049]

The fact that Jocko is looking up to talk to John is wild… guys a monster

[@ac130spectre98]

Do David Goggins and build him a BOAT. WHO'S GOING TO CARRY THE BOATS!?!?!

[@ralphrohr]

Woouuw. See a big man babbling like a nervous wreck Show me as a german who don't know s... about Jocko, what kind of guy he is... Fun to watch and i really love to see John hug Jordan...

[@jordanheider2662]

Proud father son moment

[@fm114fd]

In a word: GOOD. Awesome build! I love how Jocko responded to you... "Your books changed our lives"-- "YOU changed your lives". Humble to the core. And I thought I couldn't love your channel any more!

[@BeastOfSoda]

I love that although these guys have a tendency to arse something up in their projects, they always find some way to make it right, no matter how huge the mistake. Gotta praise that resiliency.

[@timbohouston]

Haha

[@The_Professional_Hobbiest]

Anyone else notice Johns voice got deeper when he met Jocko

[@brandonsherrer1397]

Coming from a veteran that loves his country and loves what you do for the veterans, thank you brother! You really make me realize that people have not forgotten about us! Jocko and Matt are great people and they deserve to be put at the forefront!

[@mikeharris1547]

Hey John, 4x worlds strongest man Brian Shaw would be a great candidate to collaborate with. The guy is full of positivity and is making big things happen. I think that would be awesome to see you guys work together on something

[@realraithious]

Maybe it is the obvious choice but I would love to see you make and give something to Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson himself). I mean you do have his picture on your wall after all

[@dietrichnsons]

Screwed up our epoxy pour?!?! GOOD, now we’re gonna get a chance to try again and be better😅 Awesome job guys! Enjoyed the video and build! Awesome to see a legendary build for a legendary man🇺🇸

[@christhorney]

lmfao a female wizard is a witch, but for some reason witch has a negative feel and a wizard has a positive feel

[@trx350]

Dude, Jocko looks like he was practicing beating the crap out of you in his mind when you first met. Very intimidating man. This was one of my favorite videos.

[@osumailguy]

He liked it until he got the backstory on the belts … you could see the change instantly to loving it after getting the backstory

[@BanditoCGET]

Jordan got a hug today!

[@jordanheider2662]

Jordan cried that day too

[@blake8437]

You and your team do some amazing work. I would love to see a build of some sort for Dr.Lupo. He is a content creator with KZbin that does amazing charity work. To date he has raised over $10M for St. Jude children's research hospital. He is an all around great dude and would love to see you guys do something for him if possible. Keep up the great work!

that was so awesome! Jocko is rad! John, Sam & Jordan yall are killin it. You inspire me to do more!!!! Maybe one day we can collab.

Favorite video so far!! Keep it up guys!

[@romanmontiel6679]

Hi John, great video as always. Just a quick question, why did you use a wooden mold instead of silicone one (like the last guitar)?

[@FreviriousQuigby]

... a female wizard is still just called a wizard, don't overthink it John

[@TheSoul1man]

You guys have the skills to do it so I would love to see you guys build a guitar from scratch. Maybe some thing in the style a Fender Telecaster or Esquire. Do your thing and make it awesome! Just an idea.

[@731Woodworks]

Very cool. Good job guys!

[@MrMaacin05]

Those glasses that came with your diode laser are worthless. Get the right ones. As positive I am that Jordan stared into the sun as a child… possibly adult, I don’t want to see him go blind.
