thank you
Thank you John!
Too late to switch from the tubes , (I have a lot of those from you ).... but these look good.
Great! I got that "Ah, yeah, of course!", moment when I saw what you'd done, but the penny would never have dropped without watching your video. Thank you.
What blanket do you use?
the ones I sell are 6 by 34 in made in USA Pro Therm
This is a great idea! I was planning on doing a build with a cedar top but could only find sets that are not wide enough. I may just order it anyway and give this technique a try. The way I see it, if the difference is noticeable I can always route for purfling to cover it up and still have wood underneath it to keep it structurally sound.
this is a handy trick I have used on tops and backs
Per John's suggestion, I did this last year with an Adirondack Spruce top I bought from John, to make it wide enough for my Jumbo build. Worked beautifully and I added a few cleats, just because--mostly because I needed to learn how.
I have made some 4 piece tops in a similar fashion. Difficult to spot and making the red spruce that i bought for not much work.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Great tip. Thanks John.
Mr Hall what a treat to watch you work. I started building guitars with Mike Davis in missouri. Mike talkes very highly of you. Ive only been at it with Mike for 3 days now. Alot of info. To. Unsorte but so cool. IM Mainly an electric player and own 2 acoustics but being in the build of it now im totally excited to learn. And the history is just amazing on the different makers
glad to help thats why we do this , share the information
we will also an update on modification to the bender so the 3 piece fits the old machine
The Pragmatic Luthier sent me here for some instruction. I have been instructed! Many Thanks!
Great video, Very helpful. Thanks for making it!
Nice shop,wish I’d known more about making guitars early on. It’s a very satisfying line of work.
Thank you John for the making of This video.
At 15:30 you mention that when cutting a specific wood you want to adjust the router speed so the ‘heat’ goes into the chip instead of the top, back, sides or the cutter. What do you mean by the chip?
ok when you work on something , you have the TOOL , WORK and SCRAP ( CHIP ) so when you are working on this, sanding , routing etc , be aware of the heat. Is the tool getting hot??? is the work getting HOT so you adjust tool slower speed or faster feed , WORK same thing slower took faster working , and when you do this , the chip is where the heat goes , this lestens scorching the work , and lengthens tool life.
this is the actualk piece that I used for the ASIA Symposium , those that attended , you can now see the process at it actually happened
If I understood that correctly, I think the layout was: stain, shellac, 3 x aquacoat, shellac, nitro for the body, and just shellac + nitro for the top. Which sounds pretty ideal to me, but I wonder wat alternatives there are to aquacoat for the people who are a bit leery of it.
good video, I've had a guitar with a lifted bridge that I haven't been able to play in nearly 8yrs so i'm gonna go for it
It is nice to see how you layer your sealer and filler. What type of shellac flakes do you use? Do you use a clear Aqua Cote filler?
I get the super blonde shellac abd clear aqua coat but it can be stained if you choose
Awesome, I have heard mixed reviews on the aqua coat,I haven't had the balls to try it because of the reviews after seeing it does work pretty well I'm gonna try it so thanks again
been using this a long time , it is a great product. .
Thank you . great info
the machine is designed for the ridgid none of the small routers will fit.
Thank you for the great video.
Great video John !
Do you know of a kit to recreate his 12 fret D28?
Would you reccomened anything other than windex? Its not readily available here in the UK. Cheers
yes try a 10% mix using water and ammonia
I've talked to ya on the phone and I'm email I was supposed to come and by a bending machine from u last April but rest assured I'll be coming up this tax time,, I'm Mike from York county
we will be here and thanks
Thank you Mr. Hall for your Expertise .
side thickness?
.075 in is normal side thinckess to bend
Expert tips, thank you John Hall for making this video!
Thanks for telling us what kind of glue
I know right?😂
Brilliant ,.... not sure why I did'n come up wit this myself , but sure glad John did and shared it.
Very cool idea! Do you set it to the desired finished radius, or a bit more, to handle the top/back wanting to stay flat?
Cool
I love jig videos.
Fit the nut in the slot tight and there's no need for glue... No time wasted on it drying..... Keep on working.... Get it done.
Thank you John.
Very cool, John!
Hello please tell me why you use windex instead of water? Does it make the wood relax or prevent staining?
Windex uses ammonia this is a natural cell softener and aids in the wood cell to collapse
@@bluescreekguitars3346 Thank you Sir.
Hi John. Do you recommend a ‘corded’ trim router or a battery operated (cordless) for this task? Thank you
I use corder but I don't think it matters too much
At 1:00 you said, “I jointed the edge so I know my edge is true”. Ken Parker uses what’s called a “Spring Joint” when he joins his top and back plates on a shooting board with his no. 8 Stanley plane. As you know, a spring joint is where the plates are planned in such a way where a slight gap remains in the center. The top and/or back is then clamped together with the center clamp(s) used to close the remaining gap. This ensures that both the outer edges of the top and back plates never separate due to changes in humidity. Of course Ken builds archtops and not acoustic guitars but was wondering if you recommend this method for use in joining acoustic guitar tops and backs? Below is the video link of Ken Parker explaining the use of the spring joint starting the process at 11:15 but I recommend watching the whole video in order to connect all the dots. Thank you John! ruclips.net/video/uBDwFnex71k/видео.htmlsi=sfVcBrNiWyPf4Wtk
John, did you ever try the hand method using a gramil? Just curious if using a gramil is another viable alternative?
Hi John, are there any plans on how to build that binding jig? I like your method versus rotating the guitar body around the fixed router position.
I think www.michelettiguitars.com/Images/Binding_Fixture_Thm.jpg
Thank you cool video!
By wet paper do you mean you had wet wax paper?
no you can't make wax paper wet use untreated butchers paper
I pray my guitar never falls into the hands of this man. Lol
Thank you John for letting people know that you can rough out your saddle without an expensive thickness sander .. I already knew this , howevits great to see people post this on the web .... I have learned a lot from you over the years... thanks for posting all your videos... BTW, your video that explains how to set dovetail necks is the the best on the web .... and thanks to you I would rather set a dovetail neck than a mortise and tenon ...bolt on ... Because you don't have to bolt it on to check neck angle over and over ... I also use a sanding block to do the job like you show . And chalk instead of carbon paper .. it's so fast .... Now as a luthier I'm the only one doing neck resets that all the local luthiers shy away from.
glad you found this helpful
Mr John. I’m fixing to be bending maple sides. Right now I have it right under .100 . Should I get it thinner? I’m Super nervous about it
yes as in the video .075 follow the ideo use weight
