Phoenix Rising - Guitar Building Series Episode 8 - Orange Fret Binding

[@SweetTGuitars]

Nice work as always my brother. I really do enjoy this format for your videos. Excellent.✌️&💙

[@DavidRavenMoon]

My experience has been that no matter how well you plan out a guitar, the guitar has a mind of its own in the building process. They help design themselves! It’s like improvising with good musicians. Things happen unexpectedly!

Two epoxy tips; never use quick setting “5-minute” epoxy. Besides setting too quickly, it cures very rubbery. Use slow setting epoxy. I use West System epoxy for gluing on fretboards. Epoxy does not stick to clear plastic packing tape. So use that on your gluing jigs.

Looking good! I love firebirds so I can't wait to see this build when it's all finished.

Great work, Daniel. You handled the challenge that came with the new binding-venear like a champ. And those corners of the binding were perfect! Looking forward to the next video.

That binding looks amazing !! Even better than I had imagined the solid orange binding would look !! It kind of reminds me of the multi-colored binding on a lot of acoustic guitars . I think it's called purfling. Please correct me if I am wrong . Great video as always !! Truly loving the content you're bringing to us now !! I especially like your humility and genuineness with us !! You're a fabulous artist who does not have an arrogant ego & that Sir, is very refreshing !!! Keep up the good work & we'll keep watching !!

Nice job, Daniel

[@DJ_Guitars]

Absolutely love this! It’s going to be a beautiful guitar ❤

[@allenmitchell09]

The beautiful miter joints in the binding are skillful details.

[@MyEarwig]

Nice job and very interesting

Nice work!

I would love to have the results you do when I was nervous. In watching you I see the “trick” is to be cautious and thoughtful on how things will be done. And… sometimes…. You just have to go for it! However, I see a lot of skill when you go for it. 😊

[@timhouwerzijl9217]

even i had sweaty palms when you where removing the jig on the second fretboard hahaha

[@johnkelly8538]

love watching your video! I got my t-shirt in the post yesterday and it look great!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Thank you and enjoy your T-shirt

[@d4nwh033]

I just saw your soldering tips video cause I have to repair my amp. I really like your videos!

[@denisweening]

Great! Perfection with the miter joints, both fretboards are looking super! And by the way I have the same experience with epoxy and 2 component glues 😅

[@derekhensley4145]

U do great work I like ur work

[@zeffneeson5214]

I use the plastic thin parcel tape on my clamping cauls instead of masking tape glue doesn’t stick to it as much as masking tape if that helps for the future mate Love that orange and black detail 👌👌

[@piptyson5512]

Now I know what my anxiety driven nightmare will be about tonight. It will be me trying to make that binding lol

[@rubeng.1309]

Hey Daniël, waar koop je je fineer? Ben zelf nog op zoek naar een leverancier in België of Nederland :) Thanks!

[@UnquendorGuitars]

Hi ruberg.1309, Het Zwarte fineer komt bij Masave Fijnhouthandel in Zwolle (NL) vandaan Het Oranje fineer komt én bij de "Gitaarbouwwinkel" uit Strijen (NL), en bij Willy Vanhoutte uit Beernem (BE) vandaan. Ff zoeken met google en je hebt ze zo gevonden. Masave heeft (nog) geen webshop, maar je kan er telefonisch bestellen.

I had to leave the binding uncut

[@quartercirclebk]

Epoxy is such a b****. Recently had to remove a Richlite fretboard from a neck where the 2-ton epoxy set up too quickly and it wound up misaligned. 2 hours of heating up a putty knife until it was red hot, melting about 1 fret's worth of glue, and prying up the fretboard bit by bit. Somehow managed to save both the fretboard and the neck, but never again! Glad your fretboard came out unscathed.

You should take music out of your videos most people don't like hearing music same thing over and over irritating

[@Overit5000]

Probably could’ve dyed it orange after gluing and trimming
