#MASTERSOFWOOD - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Loved you in Thor Ragnarok !
LOL i wonder where Dez and Troy are
I'd love to have a coffee with this guy and listen to him talk about everything and anything. He's like the David Attenborough of woodworking.
I've been waiting since birth for this video series.
There's nothing more satisfying than a good sharp, quality hand tool!
Gros degeulasse :)
Imagine my surprise I'm always watching your videos, and you're always turning around and grabbing some beautiful Old World finely built tool for hand work. Today you started the video out with a Stanley which is from America!!! God bless your man! LOL
Rewatching. That No 7 is lovely. I have a 5 and 1/2, and it does the job. But I have been looking for a No 7 for a while. You can bet when I find it, I'll buy it. And no, I don't have a problem. :)
These videos are very therapeutic to watch.
8:15 I'm always thinking about Ben's tupperware squeek when I'm building a guitar.
I really wish Ben would get back to doing this kind of stuff on his TH-cam channel. I have learned a lot over the years, before he started his patreon page.
I cannot agree with this more. Now its just small videos unless you are a paid subscriber (20 dollars a month, at that.. come on). I get that you only have so much time in a day, and that he has another business now, but the old ways were the best. Especially now with ben no longer having to really run the company, he has more time to spend building stuff, and yet if you want to see that, you have to either wait forever, or pay for the privilege.
Personally, I dont have that kind of money spare, and its frankly insulting that crimson has joined the never ending stream of youtubers that have decided to become a freemium content creator, paywalling the interesting stuff away for those that can afford it.
The income potential via Patreon was probably a top factor in Ben deciding to do TH-cam full time. I agree it's unfortunate if you can't afford to be a Patron. I certainly don't have an extra $20 a month with the high cost of adulting.
I mean yeah it sucks, but seriously? its insulting? The dude wants to earn money like any normal sane person and you are insulted? Wow, people nowadays are so sensitive that trying to earn money by making videos are insulting people lol. Not trying to sound rude but it is people like you that is making everything hard for content creators by whining so much.
Well if no one signs up it won't continue will it? But sadly there are always plenty of bunnys around with more money than brains.
Insulting that a content creator wants to earn money? You sound so entitled it's actually ridiculous
Always a pleasure to watch Ben working :)
Thanks to you. With simple tools , I'm now able to build my first bass guitar. All your vidéos were so helpful.
Flipping one of the bookmatched halves whilst planing edges compensates for plumb variation. If anyone asks, was the traditional technique of Glumori Angelli the master jointer of traditional Italian designer firewood.
Also, the quality of the jigsaw blade makes a huge difference in how well it stays straight. And don't push too hard, take your time and go slow.
you're saving me money rn. thank you
I've been truly inspired by your builds and finally begun my first build. Thankyou so much for the inspiration!
re seeing it... love it
Awesome information and illustration. Will definitely be tuning in for remainder of build!
Gave a like solely for the idea of watching an at home build (okay maybe not solely). I'm planning my first full guitar build after a successful diy kit and I'd love to see you do it so I can get a full idea of what I'm getting myself into.
Such an awesome series. I really want to do this...
Been waiting for this since the "Clarity" build. I must have watched that series 20 times. Which is what got me subbed to your channel incidentally. Thank you for finally doing another one of these Ben!!! and thank you Triton for getting him to!
And you cut a perfectly 90° :: looks at the camera :: cut.
My brain added the drop down sunglasses with "deal with it" text lmao
Very cool glue trick, Ben. I am very impressed.
Please do a home build! That would be awesome to watch. :) Always a pleasure to watch :)
The thickness of the nut of the truss rod is two factors the first being it is more than likely it is a bit beefier to keep the tool from ripping out or mushrooming the inside hex, yes I've seen this happen when a nut is too thin and hardened steel Allen wrenches will kill it very quickly. The second factor is that it is chrome coated and that added to its hardness, thickness and cosmetic looks. Honestly, if that is a chrome coated nut then that is a well made truss rod and was not made in China.
That is a really cool trick with the super glue and tape, and will certainly be using it. Thanks.
Just about to build my first and this was really helpful. Subbed!
Watching you work gave me an idea. I just thought of a neat trick on how to clamp the figured top to the body. Drill several holes around the template edge, then, using a single rope, you can tie the rope and you get lots of clamping pressure, without damaging your template. Plus, depending on how many wraps/holes you drill, you will get better distribution of pressure. Plus you wont need a bunch of clamps, which in the spirit of doing things simpler with less tools, works out swimmingly.
I want that shirt!
Tell us about your head tat. Looks sick
A shed - people need a Luthier's Shed. That way you don't have trouble with significant others, you don't have to go mad cleaning or vacuuming the floor. and your tools are always to hand where you put them. Also always looks good and sounds good when you hear a lot of noise coming from a shed whilst a build is in progress.
Glad I found ya! Gotta LOVE your Art ... it reflects your balanced, Full-Spectrum personality. Props from an old man 😎💕
Is it weird that I enjoy this as ASMR?
Iff you have complementary angles for both pieces of wood, even if it's not exactly 90 degrees, then they will fit together. What this means is that one piece needs to be done upside down and the other right side up.
Defeats the purpose of book matching the top if you do this! It is much better to take a bit of extra time to get the grain patterns to match up.
Jon Adams The angle of the join is irrelevant to the book join. The join is perpendicular to the visible surface and out of sight. The book matching is ruined if the joint doesn't fit right, not if the angles are complementary.
Jon Adams woodworking guild of America says to flip the boards: www.wwgoa.com/article/master-the-jointer/
Jon Adams It's a good point to maintain book matching, though. You definitely want to pay attention to detail to get the edges joined in the most attractive way possible.
38:50 Have you ever tried sprinkling a bit of table salt onto the glue face? I've found it prevents the slipping around of glued joints and faces quite well.
This is excellent! Love the CA/masking tape trick... Subbed!
Awesome!
Nicely done! 👍👊
Does anyone know if when he routed the truss rod seat, he added a deeper dip in the middle? I’ve read a lot of instructions on Truss rod installation and in most every single one The routing is dipped, although I’ve seen a few where that is not the case and I am still confused as to how the truss rod would work. Thank you for any clearance on this in advance. Rock on!
common sense says dip your truss rod cavity anyway because it is meant to correct lateral warping. try to use a calculator to determine the depth of the parabola if forums are not providing fact based evidence.
Is there a special kind of glue that you're using? I'm sure it's not elmers lol but will any "wood glue" work or will it need to be a certain type?
ive watched alot of bens videos. id love to see a colaboration with alec steele for damascus hardwear with a hand carved masterpeice.
This comment and idea needs so much more love and attention!! ❤
Alex Steele is now in America-permanently ,I think.
"...true patriot he, who left his country for his country's good..."
Actually you don't need your plane blade to be at a perfect 90 deg angle. If you lay one of the pieces on one side and the second piece on it's opposite side the angles will cancel and you'll have a perfectly flat top.
Also for securing the template you could just use your tape technique? Seems obvious so I'm wondering if there is a reason you don't as you are effectively doing when planing the top.
Can you please send Brad Angove a guitar kit.. id love to see him review it. Thanks.
The way he casually said 'verisimilitude'!
awesome
Curious re the jointing of the top. Could this be done by tape+supergluing the halves together, then using a router on a guide to get matching surfaces for gluing?
Hi, I want to try to make a 7-string guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo. I want to have a 673mm scale, the tremolo is Shaller Lockmeister 7 BC. What should be the dimensions for the 24 frets fretboard? Thanks.
edit: Is 440x6x9 truss rod long enough? I will be buying Göldo WS44G Trussrod.
Hey Triton Tools, all told, what would all the gear featured here cost in total? Of course, I have some items, but not some of the cool stuff. But, I'd be interested in what it would be to have a complete set. US dollars please. Or Euros, British pounds and I can do the conversions. Thank You.
how did you get the top peices flat first before gluing the top halfs together
None of my Stanley’s sides are square to the base. It may be possible to correct it with the lateral adjusters.
For sticking templates to stock I’d use double sided tape it does the job well and it’s cheep
Harry's wood Work you’ve obviously not seen the masking tape and superglue trick. Ben isn’t a fan of double sided tape but the other trick is awesome.
why didnt you plain both sides together in the fixture?
Ok I might have mist something. Where do we download the plans for the template?
Trussrod - Musicman has done something unique - they put the truss rod adjustment on the body of the guitar, with a spin adjustment. No truss rod cover on the neck of the guitar, no hole in the neck of the guitar, stronger neck for the guitar. Are there downsides to this setup versus the traditional truss rod instalation?
A very cool system (IMO) but not unique to Music Man,. It's a pretty old design which Fender, Charvel and Jackson have all used as well as Sadowsky. :)
Definitely not unique. Both my Manson and Chapman guitar have a spokewheel adjuster at the body end. I prefer that design.
Where can I find the plans for this build?
Explaining things to an audience that don't necessarily have any knowledge of the subject is always fun, and demonstrates to you that 'you don't know how much you know'.
Also, I'm not detecting the recent tattoos, so I'm guessing this was filmed some time ago?
I'm a bit confused by planing before gluing. Everything I've ever heard about gluing (and painting for that matter) says you need to have a rough surface for the glue to stick to. Not questioning your method, just curious why you do it this way? What am I missing?
Wood is porous, so you don't need to rough up the surface as opposed to metal. The planing is to get the mating surfaces as flat as possible, which improves the glue bond and creates join that is nearly invisible to sight and tone.
I'd love to build a guitar for fun but I dont have planes or a router. Would I be better off just buying one of those kits where the neck and body come already made?
I guess it depends why you want to build a guitar in a way.
Im planing to start building my first guitar body soon. Still need to wait wood to dry few more weeks. I want to do T type guitar mainly due amount of wood i have to use. But im running in my first issue with planing the neck. I have no clue about how i should shape it , ... i could allways copy my other guitar ( Cort KX1Q ) but id like to have 22 fret guitar instead of 24 and little shorter scale lenght , so my dauther could play it aswell. I am one of those guyz who want to learn to do stuff them selfs, but i allso would like this to go right on first try. So that leads into my question , what do i need to take into account when im shaping the neck and headpiece to get an good working guitar with good sustain and good tuning ability ? I will go on and watch these vids and many more before i start sketching while the wood dries some more ( its allready 50+ years old, but been on moist cellar for few months before i toke it inside to dry (again) more. )
26:00 which bit is used in the router? Thank you
Head tattoos say, "I'll kill your entire family if you cross me."
Actual personality says, "Dear chap, will you join me for a coffee and biscuits while we discuss proper guitar fabrication techniques?".
I am building a SG style guitar from scratch without a template and can’t get the curves quite right (not smooth enough.) how do I fix that?
Make a template and get it right on that first.
can yousharpen tools with a angel grinder
You gave Ben free power tools and all he had to do was make a guitar??!? Wow I bet he nearly took your whole arm let alone the hand!
Use a paint roller to spread your glue.
Hacksaw blades make good glue spreaders.
You said that you “have plans available, probably for download” but I don’t see them anywhere. I know I’m not the brightest crayon in the box so can you tell me where to download the plans please.
Crimson Guitars Webstore
crimsonguitars.com/product-category/luthiers-supplies/guitar-plans/
Thanks for getting back to me
"Available for download" no longer means "available for free". What he should have said was "available for online purchase".
brother where are the plans
spindle sander ? who has one of those.. IF I watch all five videos I figure you owe me five hours of my time..
I have a sweet old #6 Stanley that was great great grandpa's..
I guess I owe you for making these videos.. Thanks Ben!!
Here's a nod to John, My #2 Son who died 4 years ago today.. Miss you boy..
My pillar drill doubles as a spindle sander. It's great.
Premonition?
"I've only used a jig saw to cut out a guitar once in my life".
Nice, my luthier work now has something in common with Ben Crowe's.
I’d love to see a “no electricity” build. Meaning, no power tools whatsoever. No electric/battery powered router, spindle sander, bandsaw or jigsaw etc... That would be interesting. Well, interesting to me.
yeah man! If anyone can do it , Ben can!
build an electric guitar without electricity. brilliant!
I'm late to the party, i know but search for kraken guitar build it is made with 0 use of power tools (except for the inlays, forgivable in my eyes as the inlay he was going for was a hard one)
If im allowed to, I want to build a guitar in school
My carpentry tutor used to beat students for placing planes down on their blades ! 1st thing we learnt was to never do that!
Am I missing something? I don't see a download link for the plans that Ben mentions...
This is like the episode of Green Hornet when Batman and Robin showed up.
glue up asmr starts at 41:30 :p
I hate when it is "spot on". That means I'm done running a plane across it. :(
I need help to stop pinging too
My Gosh that's a HUGE router
Why does it feel like this guys 2nd time building a guitar?
COLABORATE WITH ALEC STEELE.
i bet he can make all the hardwear
Yeeeeeah bro
never mind you answered my question later
We’re gunna only use tools that Triton makes...
Jesus broke Satan's head
This is King Chamduan. Jesus is a true priest who has solved sin and curse. Jesus meets God
It's the only way. Jesus is Christ. If you believe in Jesus, you will be freed from sin, Satan, and hell forever and become a child of God.
Believe in Jesus. He is God the Creator.
My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
Here after "what's on the bench". The thumbnail is kind of silly
If anyone needs this much guidance they do not know how to use tools. I suggest that they should start with toy sail boat.
You can buy a brand new guitar, or a fairly decent used one, for less than the cost of a number 7 jointing plane, even an old one.
yes I know that's not the point, but 'just sayin'..
Also wouldn't it be much easier to just use a single solid piece of wood instead of book matching and laminating a top onto a separate body?
"Also wouldn't it be much easier to just use a single solid piece of wood instead of book matching and laminating a top onto a separate body"?
Yes, but a bookmatched top is such a beautiful thing, and a solid piece will rarely give the grain variations.
Hour long video to show how to glue four pieces of wood together
hot glue
Do i detect a South African accent...? 🇿🇦
No offends, but this guy reminds me so much of Bill Bailey from Black Books. I can't stop mentally imagining him on the screen instead of this guy.
Every time he says 'joint' i imagine cannabis
eiinnnduh.
was he in thor Ragnarok
Finger prints are vastly over rated anyhow. At least in my line of work ;-)
Limited space and limited tools, well that is me for sure.
I think you need more tools.
I think spalting is fungal
I like what your doing and enjoy it but you need to be more peppy you seem to be boring your self and your viewers lol
either this guy was high doing the video or he just got done crying...?
Zzzzzzzz
