Thank you,....great video taking us through the whole process, purflings and bindings are so crucial for the over-all perfection of craftsmanship, a rough purfling/binding job will attract negative attention quickly.
Hi Jeff! I must’ve missed something. I watched your other video where built a binding channel cutter jig that included a retractable lift and donut. Why didn’t you use that binding jig to gut the binding channels on the guitar body in this video? Thanks Jeff!
Hope you see this Jeff. I got an email add from Stewmac this morning saying that they have some European Spruce tops and a few other Variety of spruce and some cedar starting at as low as $49.00 for one sized for a small guitar and I think it was $69.00 for a dreadnought size. Hope it helps out if you are interested.
Great and cool at the same time = so interesting. My guess was 5-7 cracks per piece. Ah well, just shows me why I shouldn't be doing this and you most definitely should.
I know you built the binding cutter jig. But if you didn't have a YT channel, would you get the Elevated Lutherie binding tool? Even at it's cost? It seems like that's what a lot of professionals are getting now. Toughts?
Thanks! I have never used the Elevate Jig myself but have check out a version of it that a friend of mine made. There's something about that design that seems a bit unstable to me. I'm not a fan of the way you need to balance the instrument on the jig while in use. My friend that tried it has since switched to a design more like I use. I'm not saying the Elevate jig is bad at all, I've seen many builders use it and have great results. Its just not my personal preference and I personally don't think I'd buy it. I hope that helps.

Glad it was helpful!
i love this kind of videos where you guys open freely about the errors mistakes and to fix it, really thx for share.
Looking great Jeff. Thanks so much for making that set into a guitar. It looks great and can't wait to hear it.
Thanks Paul! This body is getting set aside so I can now work on the neck. I cant wait.
Jeff, the guitar is looking beautiful! I can't wait to get caught up and see it finished.
I can't wait either. I was using my Skyscraper Radius sanding beam today on the fretboard.
Cool to see this process. Thanks Jeff
Thanks Dave!
It's lookin' good Jeff.
Thanks man!

I think I got that same one. I'll check it out. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you use s side bending jig for celluloid binding or only for wood?
I can't believe you haven't asked for my name and address yet so you know where to send it.
Just use up/down spiral duh...
First..
