Thank You Daisy Tempest, you explain things really well and use excellent camera angles. In this particular case I had no idea what a binding is, and I watched the whole video without knowing, and wondered "now what part of the guitar is this?" At the end of the video I recognized the pretty edge things, and looked up "What is guitar binding" to be sure.
Of course! I’m so sorry I didn’t clarify. Total accident oversight. I’ll make sure to explain properly in future, I forget that not everyone gets the terminology! Thanks for the kind words :)
Interesting clamps, I've never seen those before. As always an informative and inspirational video, motivates me to push myself to turn out better work in the workshop.
Nice First video i’ve found for making bindings. Glad to see you wearing gloves and recommend a block or keep fingers past the cutting edge on the saw. I have a block my grandfather used that’s over 200yrs old I admit I don’t wear gloves enough myself and was quickly reminded this week while I was sanding a piece of hickory for a machete handle and suddenly the wood separating my fingers from the sander flew away faster than superman… 80 grit paper…. Healing now but it was such a cool jagged cut split or rip I may have even have a pretty cool finger print… Fortunately I was a medic for 30 yrs so I know how to use duct tape. 😎
For everything you never knew about spalting, look up Seri Robinson, aka Dr. Spalt. She is at Oregon State University. Spalting actually comes in rainbow colors, and has been used to make dyes for hundreds of years. There are samples of furniture from the 1600s or so where the colors are still bright and vibrant. Her program is about making the dyes. Northwest Spalting is the business associated with it. One potential problem with the foamy verathane glues. If you ship or mail by air, the bubbles will expand, and things can delaminate. Had a friend who made expresso tampers, gluing stainless steel onto exotic woods, and air mailed them to Japan. They all failed/delaminated.
I stopped making guitars about 25 years ago but I can totally appreciate this! My brother in law just gave me a plank of Indian rosewood, but I'm not sure what I will do with it.
I am doing the same proces now and I think that ideally the best option for bingings would be a tangential cut, so that the grain goes paralell to the purflings before glueing, but then cut, you would have a a quartersawn binding... I hope you understand my point of view so you can give me your opinion
The lighting on the shop from those big windows… so awesome. Also, I too use gorilla glue for this purpose. Glad to see someone else use that as well. I do apply it with a foam roller. Much cleaner and it applies the right amount without much foam squeeze out
Thank you for your interesting and informative videos, I really enjoy them. Like you, I love my tools and keep them as sharp and in good condition as I can. I'm an old geezer with many years of working with wood under my belt. In another life (when I was young) a family friend, who was a cabinet maker to trade, told me that you should never lay a plane down on it's sole plate, always lay it on its side. I've followed that rule ever since. Now, I can't say whether laying a plane down on a clean, wooden work surface dulls the blade or not but certainly, any grit or even a nail head will. I don't take the risk. I note that you often lay your lovely planes sole plate down and it tends to make me cringe. Why not please an old man and get into the habit of laying them on their side? It may not be necessary but it looks cool and just a little professional. I'm sure that others may disagree (cut yourself on an unprotected blade etc.) and it's always interesting to hear other opinions. Keep going with the videos even if you decide to ignore my ramblings.
Great video 👍 I have built a lot of furniture out of spalded Maple it’s so cool looking. Walnut is my favorite wood to build furniture out of, it’s hard but not to hard cuts easy and makes the shop smell fantastic
Really enjoyed this clip! It's my first time here - not a woodworker aside from minor guitar repairs/setups, but I'm curious, at least as it pertains to instruments. I found everything here interesting, down to details like the excellent natural lighting and even the choice of background music. So I've added the channel to my subscription list, joining folks like Ted Woodford and Ian Davlin (no relation that I know of), serious high end guitar people, from whom I've learned a lot. Looking forward to exploring more clips here. Thank you for doing what you do with such charm and enthusiasm!
Great video, Daisy! If your attention to detail, and masterful execution in video production, is mirrored in your approach to guitar building, your instruments can only be extraordinary. Keep learning. Keep teaching. Keep creating. The work you do is important work, and brings happiness to to people (like me).
Appreciate the video. New to this whole thing, but know wood. I'm thinking of using NZ Manuka for bindings. You're obviously a professional, but explained things well.
6:14 I really do apologize if I'm overstepping, but I just wanted to caution you about wearing gloves while operating a bandsaw. If the blade catches your glove, it's much more likely to pull it in with your hand vs. your bare skin. It's generally considered a lot more dangerous to wear gloves with certain shop tools like the bandsaw. Apologies if it sounds like I'm being preachy with unsolicited safety advice. Just don't want you to lose a finger, it makes guitar building and playing a lot harder! :)
Nah it’s totally fine when I’ve given guidance in the right way - I agree, I don’t usually wear gloves, I just completely forgot this time. Thanks for flagging up in the right way :)
@@DaisyTempest NO! depends on what you are cutting. If you are cutting aluminum or steel it will get hot fast. It will burn you without gloves. Get good leather gloves that fit tight.
I am ashamed to say I actually cut the pad of my right thumb on a running bandsaw, and it's a devil of a wound that takes forever to heal. I worked nearly 40 years as a toolmaker, so I guess you are allowed one or two mishaps in what works out to close to 80,000 hours using machine tools. Since I retired I have found angle grinders are the tools most determined to get me, and usually when I have finished what I was doing with it, and am putting it down while it is still slowing down.
@@anthonyb5279 If you’re cutting metals on a bandsaw and burning your hands, you’re either using the wrong combo of blade/speed/lubricants, or not using an appropriate fixture or pusher on the material. Also if you’re letting blades get that hot, they probably aren’t lasting long. The problem with even tight-fitting gloves is that if the blade nicks them, you don’t feel it and react the same way as you would with bare skin. And with how strong leather is, if that blade happens to snag the glove forcefully, your hand is coming along for the meat grinder, until you manage to shut the machine off and the blade slows down. Every shop safety class I’ve ever had to take pounded into our heads that loose clothing, long hair, and any other loose things like necklaces, jewelry etc were to be removed or tied back before entering the shop, and for tools that pose a snag hazard, gloves were NOT to be worn.
@@TrevorDennis100 Ouch! Sounds like you still got to keep your thumb though, so thank goodness for that. A story from my life: a family acquaintance (a dentist actually) was a hobbyist woodworker on weekends. He did great work and was quite experienced, but one Saturday afternoon he wasn’t thinking and reached around the bottom to support a piece of falling wood he was cutting with a circular saw. Yep-the saw went right through all 4 fingertips. The worst part was, as a dentist, it affected his ability to do his job until a long recovery. As they say… safety rules are written in blood! ;)
My bandsaw is from the 40's. I'm about to use it to build a fence and a fingerboard to resaw a bunch of 2x4 to make 1x4 to (powerglue) and finish nail to A porch ceiling. Punctuation. Sucks.
I have a 5 string bass I made which I used Walnut as a fretboard, simply because I used walnut 'wings' on the body (neck through body design with a 5 ply Maple/Walnut laminated neck) so the fret board matched. Has quite a warm tone but you cannot put that down to the fretboard material alone so cannot say definitively that it wouldn't sound different with say, a rosewood board.
Thanks for sharing your process! Novice question here: I notice the runout on the walnut is pretty steep. Does that help, hinder, or make no difference in applying the binding? I'm thinking about how it impacts the likelihood of breakage or fraying edges, etc., vs. increasing flexibility.
your first mentor doesn't even believe sides and back influence the sound of a guitar 😂 I'm glad you had Rosie in your life to make things right. Another great video thanks for sharing.
Great stuff..............but 8.37 is a good way to lose a finger or two...................use a push stick and a feather board, please...............ask me how I know..........
Beautiful job! I would love to know what you recommend to bend the rods for a telecaster (there are difficult curves) I have seen that some people use ammonia but it seems a bit extreme to me. thanks in advance
I'm not a luthier, and never will be (hearing problems mean I will never be able to match the tones that are needed). And yet I've subscribed because you show different tools and techniques that I like learning about. Thank you!
Thankyou for this informative video. It is most instructive. At 3:58 you say: “Actually Rosie [Heydenrych] was the person who told me how to make bindings ‘cause in my first apprenticeship they - my mentor, actually bought his, which I thought was a bit of a cop out”. This surprised me. Wasn’t your first mentor Tom Sands, the former Somogyi apprentice?

It would be disappointing having commissioned premium lutherie work from a master craftsperson to discover that some of this work had been bought in from supplier stock. But perhaps this is considered acceptable practice.
There's this really odd "whoosh" sound that was driving my left ear insane off of my Yamaha ES-8 speakers. Here's a good example of it at 6:18, what on earth made that sound? It's like the perfect frequency to make you think it's in your head or something.
Hi Daisy, LOVE your videos and your guidance. Where do you get those sheets of b/w/b? Can find individual strips, but not sheets. Do you make them? If so, and if there is no video yet(havent had time to digest all comments and videos), good topic for one. Keep up the great work!
Hi, do you pay any interest in the grain orientation for the bindings themselves? Or due to their diminute size the grain orientation isnt really important
Nice to see you working with old wood. Which raises the issue of grain tear out. I'm having a devil of a time with pulled out grain. Any thoughts? Varnish to consolidate, then sand down?
I am interested to know what dimensions you cut the binding at. I have some walnut binding on a semi-solid I am building at the moment and cut it to finish 6mm deep but I was afraid of it breaking so I left it at a little over 2mm thick. Since then I discovered the rule about stiffness increasing as a cube of thickness so a 2mm thick strip is eight times as stiff as a 1mm strip. That might not sound much but it meant that my first attempt at bending it to fit and gluing it in place was a failure as I hadn't managed to get it tight into the binding channel all the way round and it all had to come off - but I learned how to do that as well so it was all a beneficial part of the learning process... The second attempt was done at about 1.5mm and that worked a lot better. I may be even braver next time and try to get it to about 1.2mm but do you think that would be too thin?
I know, the question isn’t for me, but you don’t need to. Gorilla glue will cure very well without adding moisture. The added benefit being that your thin pieces will not curl and remain completely flat once the cure is complete
As always so much fun to watch you making progress. Who is the music by? Playing one of your guitars perhaps? Great music on one of your guitars would probably help sell more guitars over the long term. Keep it up and best wishes!
Sadly it’s not a Tempest! I’ll record some music for my next one. TH-cam is funny about music usage though so I have to get someone to compose a piece especially to record on it, otherwise copyright will be on my toes! Thank you for the lovely words.
@@DaisyTempest - I'm absolutely positive there is at least one guitar player (me!) in the world that would compose and record for you for the rest of his life in trade for a Tempest! ;-) Sadly my playing is unlikely to do it justice...
That spalted beech headstock is the heat. Be careful on the band saw, I have been around some adjusted improperly and when they throw the blade and snap it, it is not a good time. Liking the new studio!
Beech is one of the better woods for spalting because it tends to retain decent hardness and integrity even when the fungal attack is pretty well advanced. Other woods will be punky long before you get those marbled effects.
Hi Daisy, just discovered your channnel and It’s really great to have a some more female representation in the building community. Really enjoyed the vid!👍
Daisy, great video! You’re demonstrating a natural talent that will take you far. Try waxing the tables and bases of your powered and hand tools, you’ll be amazed how much easier it is to feed your wood into the blades. Please use push blocks and push sticks when using all power tools, hands with 10 digits are very attractive and useful. Your dust collection is a wise investment. The bench your using may be a bit too tall for planing, you’re using your back and arms instead of using your legs to plane. Try rocking on your feet next to your bench and it will become obvious that you need another bench that’s shorter in height. Keep the current bench for detailed, close work, and use a shorter bench to enable your legs and central body core to generate the strength to work with planes, scorps, large chisels, spokeshaves, and other arm-strong tools used by hand. Keep making sawdust! Bill from frozen Minnesota, USA.
I saw another video where this guy was wearing gloves whilst using a table router. The amount of times my gloves have been tangled up and crushed my fingers when using an impact driver, I dread to think what the router would do? I only wear gloves when handling timbers and sanding now..
How careful do you need to be about the grain direction for the binding? I think I saw a video on Crimson Guitars where Ben split the timber he was using for internal bracing to get the natural fracture line, then squared the wood up based on that, before continuing on the process. Oh - re: safety - the last bit of sawing you did - no safety goggles.
"Fungal Invasion" is going to be the title of my solo black metal album

Amazes me you have the patience to keep the cutting machine clean. I'm sure it is critical necessity.
I love guitars. To see the intimate process of creating them at every step is very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Love your stories with drawn animation. Please continue to do that!
that's so rad. really enjoy the mix of music, art, and commentary. cheers.

Very nice Daisy. To me, the only bindings that belong on a guitar is WOOD. Good job !!

Wow! nice saw.
I have a walnut body strat.It is incredibly heavy, but one of the best guitars I own. I have often wondered what a walnut fret board would sound like.
I have a 5 string bass I made which I used Walnut as a fretboard, simply because I used walnut 'wings' on the body (neck through body design with a 5 ply Maple/Walnut laminated neck) so the fret board matched. Has quite a warm tone but you cannot put that down to the fretboard material alone so cannot say definitively that it wouldn't sound different with say, a rosewood board.
smp rotary got some cherry slabs for a table near the czech border, since nothing quality in the austrian stores.
Great work and interesting video!
Thanks for sharing your process! Novice question here: I notice the runout on the walnut is pretty steep. Does that help, hinder, or make no difference in applying the binding? I'm thinking about how it impacts the likelihood of breakage or fraying edges, etc., vs. increasing flexibility.

Nice to see you working with old wood. Which raises the issue of grain tear out. I'm having a devil of a time with pulled out grain. Any thoughts? Varnish to consolidate, then sand down?
Doesn’t the glue gunk up the plane blade?
Just asking who does the music for your videos? Sounds nice and original.
What are some good wood suppliers/retailers in the UK? Thanks! 😎
I am interested to know what dimensions you cut the binding at.
I have some walnut binding on a semi-solid I am building at the moment and cut it to finish 6mm deep but I was afraid of it breaking so I left it at a little over 2mm thick. Since then I discovered the rule about stiffness increasing as a cube of thickness so a 2mm thick strip is eight times as stiff as a 1mm strip. That might not sound much but it meant that my first attempt at bending it to fit and gluing it in place was a failure as I hadn't managed to get it tight into the binding channel all the way round and it all had to come off - but I learned how to do that as well so it was all a beneficial part of the learning process...
The second attempt was done at about 1.5mm and that worked a lot better. I may be even braver next time and try to get it to about 1.2mm but do you think that would be too thin?
Nice!
where does that white layer comes from??? I feel I missed something
Nice gear! Wish I could afford Lie-Nielsen planes. Mine come from car boot sales and get refurbished.
Very nice! Question; When using gorilla glue do you dampen the piece of material that mates with the glued side of the other piece?
I know, the question isn’t for me, but you don’t need to. Gorilla glue will cure very well without adding moisture. The added benefit being that your thin pieces will not curl and remain completely flat once the cure is complete

Awesomeness 👌
what types of glue that you use, @daisy
5:45 nice job on discovering perpetual motion,...legit funny edit:)
Haha thanks! Every day is a school day
If the blade is wobbling to infinity that’s good. It’s balanced. It’s a GOOD thing ! 👻
Beech is one of the better woods for spalting because it tends to retain decent hardness and integrity even when the fungal attack is pretty well advanced. Other woods will be punky long before you get those marbled effects.
wood working is great fun, all you need is 2 hands and 10 fingers.
Great video. Your planes will last much longer if you put then down on their side.
Is that really what ducks look like in England?
I don’t go to the gym - yeah!
Daisy Tempest is the shit
Hi Daisy, just discovered your channnel and It’s really great to have a some more female representation in the building community. Really enjoyed the vid!👍
Thank you so much for the support ❤️
Don't feel bad, my wood distracts me all day as well.
Purfling! Of course a luthier would say purfling. :)
👍👍😎✌️🤟
Great work, but never leave you plane blade down on the bench, not good practice.
Hi Daisy. Do you do set ups. I'm not far from Acton myself and have a roadworn strat that needs some attention

Please use push blocks and push sticks when using all power tools, hands with 10 digits are very attractive and useful. Your dust collection is a wise investment. The bench your using may be a bit too tall for planing, you’re using your back and arms instead of using your legs to plane. Try rocking on your feet next to your bench and it will become obvious that you need another bench that’s shorter in height. Keep the current bench for detailed, close work, and use a shorter bench to enable your legs and central body core to generate the strength to work with planes, scorps, large chisels, spokeshaves, and other arm-strong tools used by hand. Keep making sawdust! Bill from frozen Minnesota, USA.
I’m sure you just forgot to take them off at one point but you really shouldn’t wear gloves when working with the bandsaw 6:12
I saw another video where this guy was wearing gloves whilst using a table router. The amount of times my gloves have been tangled up and crushed my fingers when using an impact driver, I dread to think what the router would do?
I only wear gloves when handling timbers and sanding now..
At 2:44 I thought for a second you cut yourself badly, and then I realized it was nail polish 🥵😅
I know, I kept looking down and double taking!
I’m not one to leave,”You’re attractive.” comments on peoples channels, but doggonit, you’re pretty attractive.
How careful do you need to be about the grain direction for the binding?
I think I saw a video on Crimson Guitars where Ben split the timber he was using for internal bracing to get the natural fracture line, then squared the wood up based on that, before continuing on the process.
Oh - re: safety - the last bit of sawing you did - no safety goggles.
Need googlie eyes on duck clamps, clearly.
Mind your finger !!! Is not the way to cut wood. Need some protection. Be aware. 🙂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Gotta admire a woman who can handle a Lea-Nielsen #7!
