The Shed of Dreams ES 335 build Episode 51: Making a bone nut.

[@billmumbo2697]

Not just bone ! But mysterious "tone bone collected from the mysterious slopes of the legendary mysterious mount Olympus!, collected by the legendary mysterious bone collector who's who mysterious identify.must remain a mystery (unless you've seen this video) smashed it as usual mate 🇬🇧🇫🇴☮️👍

[@PG-ex3kl]

I forgot to mention that it had been cleaned up by wolves!

[@billmumbo2697]

@@PG-ex3kl ah!! The mysterious legendary Olympian wolves that roam the slopes of mount Olympus seeking tone bones for their master to collect and disperse to select luthiers mysteriously. Oooooh! ✌️👍☮️🇫🇴🇬🇧👏

[@billmumbo2697]

I was going to infer that they're only collected by the light of a full moon but that would be very very silly!!!

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

That's even better :)

[@PG-ex3kl]

We need more silly!

[@danielwalter7106]

Attention to detail ! Set’s a builder apart. You. Very nice.

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thank you Daniel :)

[@petedazer3381]

Wow! That’s what I call, a true bone nut! Great job!

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thanks Pete :)

[@6StringPassion.]

That bone nut will definitely make a difference in terms of tone and sustain. Good call.

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

I like to use bone as much as I can, always gives a good result. Once had an electric 12 string with a brass nut, that one really sang, perhaps I should try that one time??

[@6StringPassion.]

@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams It's worth exploring. If you don't like it, you can always swap it out.

[@oldrrocr]

came to see how you did the headstock... and stayed for the rest. Kudos!

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thank you, glad you are enjoying the vids :)

[@fernandodossantosmusica]

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thank you very much :)

[@ksell5441]

Nice work

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thanks :)

[@bjstein4242]

The use of cow bone to make a nut and not a blank is brilliant.. really gives a sense of reality to the build.. more than makes up for the truss rod cover purchase..lol.. can't blame you there.. just too fine a cut there.. could you have used super glue over the lacque to drop fill?..or would there have been adverse reaction?

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thanks, could have used superglue but I only have thick stuff at the moment. The nitro hardend up in a couple of days.

[@Riffme81]

Thankyou. I've just finished my 1st t type guitar and would love to build one of these. Thanks for the effort

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thanks Jason and congrats on the build, these are a step up from that but I'm sure you'd be good :)

[@6StringPassion.]

"Holy Cow!"

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Lol, nice one :)

[@geemac7267]

Looks great! You ever try super glue for drop filling? I've done both and super glue is definitely quicker to cure.

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Yep, I've used super glue before and it does cure fast. On this one I knew it would be a few days before I'd be flatting it plus the only super glue I have in at the moment is a bit too thick.

[@martinlouden9005]

Great info Patrick. Does the bone need to be cooked or bleached before it can be used?

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

I tend to buy bone pre-boiled but I don't bleach it. I'm not sure what's been done to this bone other than it was picked clean by wolves!!

[@jurgenzoller4407]

You need to get a move on, I'm running out of original comments.. But once again.. Great work

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

Thanks, two more episodes and it will be done plus a secret full build edit that I'm not telling anyone about ;)

[@nmssis]

thought about doing this "bone nut" but my dog was upset that I was messing with her food

[@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams]

They are good, but not worth losing your fingers over!!
