Classy Wooden Case - How to Make it - For Travel/Guitar?

The case I was sent for the guitar that I recently made was a touch too small. So I decided to make one. I forgot to mention that I didn't glue the foam down into the case but I will do when I've changed the clasps.

Merry Christmas and thanks for all the support! Hope you all enjoy the holidays! The case I was sent for the guitar that I recently made was a touch too small. So I decided to make one.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Neil. As always an awesome build 👏👏👏👏👏

Anyone know where the terms and conditions are for the giveaway? I see the rules page, which mentions terms and conditions, but can't find a page with any details.

[@manickn6819]

Nice. I did a gun case some years ago. Not as nice as this by any means. Never got down to doing the video to put up on YT.

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family Neil. Enjoy mate.

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@alexandreugrekhelidze6314]

In my opinion, the things made by you, unlike other carpenters, are of the highest quality, as can be seen in video. You pay attention to every detail, which makes the product perfect. Thanks for your videos.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

The vinyl graphic was a nice touch. Love your work 👍

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Josh! I was really pleased with it but wasn't sure it would be everyones cup of tea! :)

[@nobuckle40]

A very nice case for a beautiful guitar. May the new owner enjoy it immensely.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Doug - hope so! :)

[@liamfoxy]

Merry Christmas Pask! Thank you for another great year of entertaining and fascinating content. Always a pleasure to see what you've been cooking up in that amazing workshop.

[@PaskMakes]

Merry Christmas to you too Liam! Glad you're enjoying the videos! :)

[@kleckerklotz9620]

Wow, I already thought the guitar looked great. But this case is really the icing on the cake. Very well done, Neil. I wish you and your relatives a Merry Christmas.

[@marioverruso4576]

Your woodworking scope is only limited by your imagination, and the number of clamps you have. merry Christmas, and love your videos.

[@thepleyadian6559]

Este es uno de los trabajos más impresionantes que he visto...mis sinceras felicitaciones, usted posee un enorme talento y buen gusto. Sigo sus trabajos desde hace años. Un gran abrazo desde Buenos Aires!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@carpinterosocial7975]

demasiado despliegue de herramientas en acciones realmente inutiles como la construcción de los bordes de madera natural, o por qué meterle triply (terciado) si tiene para hacer directamente el cuerpo de madera natural? el típico showing de los gringos para mi gusto... lo que finalmente desvirtúa el trabajo de un carpintero, sin tanta maquina llegar al mismo resultado... con humildad mi opinión. Saludos

[@joeyramonelookalike]

That slight of hand edition trick for the milled trim really got me!!! Well played sir.

[@IanSmithKSP]

Towards the end the case just gets more and more professional. Incredible job. So thorough as always

[@c.a.mcdivitt9722]

Merry Christmas! Also, I should note that, if you want to cut foam, a straight razor would be a very close equivalent to the long-bladed razor knives that we use to cut foam.

[@captbuscemi]

Work of art as always Neil, beautiful job 😍. Merry Christmas to you and the family, look forward to more of your wonderful work in 2023.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much and Merry Christmas to you too! :)

Watching you work is truly a joy

[@adrianhum6515]

Brilliiant... The curves and the routing the edges were a joy to watch...

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Neil! Stunning looking case!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! And Merry Christmas to you too! :)

[@lukearts2954]

Wow, that guitar and box are so nicely matched, both in look and in craftsmanship! It's amazing how much skill and devotion is put in this and it makes it all the more special! ♥♥

[@DRJEYKILLMRHYDE]

Thats so satisfying to watch. The best part for me to watch making you veneers out of solid wood. Even that kumiko veneers you made earlier. Keep it up. Wish to learn more from you like this.

[@R.Craig.Collins]

I really appreciate all the steps you took for the case, and all the tips along the way.

[@rosswheatley8329]

There were some clever and invaluable things in this video that I really appreciate. Like balancing the case with the guitar inside to determine where to put the handle. So brilliant.

[@DrTriggered]

ive learned so many ideas and approaches from your workflow, its a honor that you have shared this with all of us. i tend to hold my subsciptions. but you sir have earned one.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@smagnusen]

Your ability to attack and go right through the heart of these projects is a talent on its own. Really well done.

[@RobMods]

Looks great mate! (But needs a few 4ZZZ stickers on it.) I've made quite a few roadcases over the years. The trick for cutting the foam is to use an electric carving knife. Just a cheapie from Kmart is what I use. It works really well. Thanks again for your great content.

[@BenNawrath]

A drum sander is an AMAZING thing to have. To be able to do a bunch of sanding WITH effective dust collection is such a huge help. When I made a high chair for me niece from white oak, all the pieces came off the saw and went thru the drum sander with 150 grit, then got an 8th” roudover at the router table, all with dust collection. THEN I sanded with a random orbit.

[@Sexgneur]

This project is a piece of art from start to end ! Congrats

[@danielgay4924]

You truly are a genius. The case looks amazing. Seriously some quality craftsmanship. Well done sir.

[@alexanderkononov1113]

Nice! Would be nice to see the Handel making. Love your work very much, thank you for making videos and all you effort. Merry Christmas ❤️

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Alexander - I think that I probably will make that video. :)

[@Joe___R]

To reduce your tearout when you are trimming the parts using a flush trim bit in your router table. You should switch to using spiral flush trim router bits. Whiteside makes my favorite spiral flush trim bits. That case and guitar look great. Whoever wins it will definitely be happy with it.

[@wolflahti412]

Impressive design, technique, and attention to detail

[@sebastianpereira1517]

Pure joy to watch such work I can't even imagine the cost of the case, given the time, materials and resources spent.

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Absolutely inspiring work again! Thank you so much for diving into GGBO with such enthusiasm and skill. Also.. 'yes please' I would love to watch you make that handle!

[@alfonsoPina]

Your guitar build and case is one of the most inspiring guitar builds I've seen yet. So much custom and personality in it. I would have to say you really do like what you do.

[@jebowlin3879]

Its what I love about your Work Pask, you take the mundane and make it beautiful

[@danfromnorth52]

Congratulations Neil for getting third place on your guitar build. Amazing that you achieved this with your first time entering. The host was completely blown away by your craftsmanship and over coming problems.

[@stigridsdale]

That was an awesome build. I'm just a bit disappointed we didn't get to see you "play" the foam guitar. I suppose you need to keep some moments to yourself. Merry Christmas and thanks for years of entertainment for me and my son. We enjoy your videos together very much.

[@BosisofSweden]

Love watching your videos. Simple to follow, effective, maybe not super beautiful edited with several clever shots, angles and stuff like some channels, but just perfectly spot on no extra. You deserve every follower you have!

[@michaelbaykara2322]

You were born to do this Paskie, simply beautiful.

[@3dnutta]

No matter what you make I love your video's and have a lot of respect for your knowledge & appreciate how you share it like this!

[@atakdragonfly1675]

That's beautiful work man. It's too nice, though. I wouldn't want to bash it up!! You finished that beautifully. This would be a fantastic idea for on the wall, with a glass front. Would be gorgeous. So many possibilities on the veneers you could do, and what you could do with the rear panel...

[@Yusufmasron]

That is one fine and very high quality workmanship.

[@MiketheBassMan]

Really beautiful work! I have been thinking about trying kerf bending, it's good to see a practical application like this. If you make more cases, you might want to leave a compartment somewhere in the case for the extra little things like a strap, spare strings, picks, maybe a cable. Even for a work of art like this that is probably too nice to be gigging every night, it's nice to keep any spare parts or related accoutrement right in the case with the guitar.

[@bruceperron3796]

That's some fine craftsmanship,really nice work.

[@bob-the-Millwright]

I have been working with wood for 40 years and I still learn something every time I watch your content. love the videos and Merry Christmas.

[@joshuahasson9687]

He’s a natural talent for sure!!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Bob - glad you enjoy the videos! And Merry Christmas to you too! :)

[@Salador1777]

No joke when I first found pasks channel my mind was blown. The scrap wood challenge. I believe it was Marquette designs or maybe it was that tool box. I was like this dudes table saw is closer to a machinist milling machine. Most table saws are like eh who cares it's square. No my guy no. Your saw is hardly square or true. Just cause it's a DeWalt or you paid $500 for it, it's not really square. Not really. And it sort of doesn't matter but it actually does unless u want to get stuck messing around and hand planing for a millenia. He seems to have learned from some old masters, the kind of techniques that make one appear like a wizard or alien to the common man😂

[@MichaelCarroll]

Oh good gravy, that case is a work of art in itself! Beautiful!

[@diyohan2226]

Superbe travail ! Une très belle finition, vous êtes un artiste 👍. Joyeux Noël de la France 🎅

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! And Merry Christmas to you too! :)

[@bcy0]

That's a rockin' case for a rockin' guitar. You rock Neil !!

[@calebwhite1999]

What a nice case! For future reference an electric bread knife works amazingly well for clean cuts in foam.

[@To-Lo77]

Awesome work as usual. I totally dig everything you create but your woodworking skills are what brought me to your channel. I am glad to have some woodworking related projects again. Merry Christmas to you & your family & have a very happy New Year '23.

[@humansnotai4912]

Just beautiful workmanship. That was the best 30 minutes of my day. I would love to have the time to learn to build like this, but all my time is spent playing guitar ;0) Again, a real joy to watch you work. Namaste x

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Merry Christmas to you, your family and everyone at Pask.

[@NemecJesse]

Tip for you when using transfer tape that is too sticky: I lay it out on the granite counter tops in my kitchen, sticky side down, and then peel it off before covering the decal. Then just clean the counter with a little alcohol. Just makes the transfer tape a little less sticky.

[@deanwellerassociates]

Neil. A very enjoyable build, my son is a musician and i've always fancied a go at making a case....perhaps one for next year. Please accept my warmest gratitude for the artistry of your designs and mastery of your craft which you present with the voice of an educator. My life is richer for your content. Kind regards, D

[@bvaethlevin]

I always get a deep appreciation from watching your videos-for the value of so much hard work done in good spirit and maybe, the beauty of dedication. No matter what you’re making or if I think I’ll ever make anything like it, your way of making is inspiring for me to watch. Merry Christmas!

[@danbarone7643]

You’re obviously a skilled wood worker, but the thing that impressed me most was how you balanced the case to find the attach point for the handle so it would stay level when carried. Most people would probably have centered it for aesthetics, including me. 👍

[@danbarone7643]

@PaskMakes. I’m not sure what this message means, package ??

[@ZafodB3]

I felled a huge Black Locust next to our restaurant here in middle Tennessee several years ago, it twisted and fell in the reverse direction landing about 18 inches from the restaurant. Took my Alaskan Chainsaw Mill and cut a slab that, considering all the pocket rot, may make one good Telecaster-style blank. I really hated the idea of buying a standard Tele-Strat case for such a project, however, your video has inspired me!

[@bobbyjackson4452]

Another awesome project. I've also built a guitar case. I did it back around 1993 for my Gibson SG. I made it from one piece of 1/2' plywood. I used fabric to cover the outside because I could only afford the cheapest plywood. I also had to make using only a circular saw & some hand tools because I didn't/don't have a table saw. It is heavy as hell, but I get nothing but complements on it to this day. I'll see if I can take some photos to send you. Have a great Christmas & New Year.

[@darrellbedford4857]

you come up with many tools and trick and are no afraid to make something out of your comfort zone. Anyone can make a square guitar case, a round corner case takes patience and skill, not necessarily in that order.

[@stuartstephens]

Nicely done. Something to consider would be adding a little pocket in the interior foam to hold guitar picks and other small items.

[@kevinmccallie5698]

Fantastic case , well built. Merry Christmas everyone

[@00brandanrich]

Well done, great craftsmanship and care, I hope whoever wins it, kicks off a deep rabbit hole with music and creating their own experiences with it! ❤️ ❤️

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...well, that was fantastic!...it looks amazing!!!...one suggestion for the next one (if there ever is a next one)...add a pocket, maybe with a flip cover, for a strap, picks and small tools...other than that, I have to admit it's the coolest case I've seen...👍

[@jeffjackson2871]

[@tikotiko5328]

This dude is the real deal! Amazing talent

[@jsaurman]

22:15 You can also cut out this type of foam on a bandsaw, or scrollsaw. Or with a heated wire (hot knife) sort of device.

[@kevinstang4181]

A joy to watch you work. I look forward to losing track of time building something similar. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas

[@ApexWoodworks]

Super build, Pask! I've been contemplating makign a case ffor my vintage JRBeck, and this just may do it. Merry Christmas to you as well and all the best to you and yours for a healthy 2023. Cheers from Canada!

[@jloren4647]

I was unaware of that corner technique. Very cool!

[@fluffycritter]

I had never really thought about how much work goes into making a guitar case. No wonder they’re so expensive. And this is an amazing design for one, which I’d be afraid to actually use because I’d worry about the case itself getting banged up!

[@paulvanwessem5867]

As always, amazing craftsman ship and such a pleasure to watch.

[@noyza2132]

very cool case! gives off that 70s vibe. thinking of making something similar for my bassoon

[@stevetubb5110]

Absolutely outstanding.

[@sapelesteve]

Fantastic build Neil! Happy Holidays to you & your family! 👍👍🌲🌲

[@lordskorpius1971]

That's an incredible case and guitar. You should become a luthier. I love watching you work sir. Incredible

[@ragnkja]

The roundover doesn’t just make the case more interesting, it actually strengthens the case by eliminating sharp corners. You generally don’t want sharp edges and corners on a travel case for an instrument.

[@socklessjoe1]

Man look how fast he is....amazing workmanship....
