some of the raw ingredients we get at work sometimes comes with big green rubber bands "holding" the drums together. They're a bit wider than the ones you seem to have. No, they won't hold a full drum to its 3 mates on a pallet. They just use them for transporting the empty steel drums around before filling. I've snagged several and used them for shaping Veg Tan leather, shoe repair, wood glue-ups, and holding hoses in place etc.

“Intentional Product Placement”……I’ll be singing that tune in the future as I watch other videos. They all do it, but nobody has written a song about it!

@timsway 5 ай бұрын

I only do it for my own products, and I’m pretty clear about it :) Most videos made on yt in the past several years are just product placement wrapped in “content” - became just like tv and radio.

That, by far, has to be the best sounding bass I've heard you make yet. And it looked great too. Forget them haters, Tim. Keep doing what you do.

@nostreamavailable9090 5 ай бұрын

I have an idea for an experimental project l would love to see you do. Build an acoustic guitar or bass or both with the shiny glossy finish on the inside to see how it affects the sound. If anyone can do it you can 🙏🏻

Hi, Tim. Another great job! I am very interested in how pallet wood bass feels after a few years? The shape of the body is excellent, but everything can be done even better with the Bigsby).

Hi, what was the cut pencil for?

@timsway 5 ай бұрын

I drilled dowel holes into the body and top plate to help me align them in gluing and to keep it from sliding. A normal person would use store-bought dowels, but in my house we always have some half-used pencils that no one wants to write with anymore, so I just use those instead of buying dowels.

Really wish occasionally you'd use a clamp or vice when sanding or profiling.....sloppy and inaccurate...ah but it'll do....only trying to sell these products to the public. Now I know....never....ty fir your comment!

@edemerperson6199 5 ай бұрын

Golly gosh darn it, Tim. I was so mad when I saw you using CNC that I unsubscribed, then when I saw you using hand tools I just had to re-subscribe. Then you used CNC AGAIN? unsubscribe! re-subscribe! How many times are you going to make me do this? Seriously, I love this video and wish I had unlimited funds. I'd be buying every single thing you make.

I would really love a CNC. I think my productivity would really increase, and would the items I could make. I really want to make my own body, but I’m so nervous in case I screw up the piece of irreplaceable vintage wood that I have. I’m almost sure I’ll screw up the neck pocket.

@timsway 5 ай бұрын

Make a bunch out of less valuable wood first, plywood, 2x4s, pallet wood, whatever. that's how you learn and build confidence to make them when "it counts"

@thesausage351 5 ай бұрын

@@timsway thanks for the advice man. You’re right, confidence is a big part of it. I have some good tools and using metal I’m quite competent at shaping etc but if I cut too much metal off, I can use body filler or weld more on. I really like this block of wood and I don’t want to cock it up, haha. I’d like to experiment more with glueing/doweling and making things out of offcuts etc as it’s a lot easier to get that wood free or cheaply and I like seeing the different grains and colours etc.

@timsway 5 ай бұрын

@@thesausage351 like in welding, your first welds aren't going to be as strong or pretty as your last. everything takes time to learn. Don't expect perfection on your first go, but also don't let the fear of failure stop you from striving for it.
