Jerry you are a Craftsman of the finest alive. You have inspired me to begin to build some instruments. I'm a 50 yrs guitar player and I'm a master carpenter, cabinet builder. You have made your techniques clear and simple to understand. Thank you for your passing on wisdom. I'm from Alabama so I'm going to creat Yellow Hammer Guitars and stringed instruments. I'll keep you posted as time goes by.
Can't believe I missed this.(at least the video said "4 days ago"). At least I was able to see it. It's coming along beautifully. I can tell those hands are getting worse, even though you don't belly ache about it, it's getting easier to tell, just by the way your holding the tools, etc. Can't imagine the pain. I had Boeing for 2 years tell me my right wrist was sprained. 2 years? My old bass player said "You're getting what the old time boxers called 'Applesauce wrist' from shooting & bucking those rivets all day." He had Carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, had surgery on both. I know it's hope beyond hope, but I do hope some how you'll find something to give you some relief. Me & the grandkids are praying for you. The guitar is going to be a real beauty, a fitting tribute to your skill as a luthier. Blessings Jerry, from me & my little ones.
I love watching you work, one of my favorite things is to hear the ring test, I've seen violin makers tune the tops and bottoms and to me, that is the most exciting part of a build. your instrument always ring so beautiful. those sides, just beautiful- more decorations for the back end of the sides, NO PROBLEM, love it. I'm an old heavy metal rocker at heart but I have also always loved blue grass and acoustic music, the music you treat us to during your builds is such a joy to listen to. Thank you Jerry, for doing what you do.
Can’t wait to see the finished product! I sure hope your not going to retire. A whole lot of folks are going to miss these excellent videos. If you do… perhaps you could continue and Caleb could do the work while you do the camera and the narrative.
Fascinating to watch this guitar being built. I've been a guitarist for 56 years, and played professionally for quite some time. I've learned a lot about guitar construction that was a mystery to me. Your skills, knowledge and talent are wonderful to watch. Thanks for this last build of your career.
Ciclebar when I was haying as a kid grand dad and I used a sythe and cradle to harvest oats, and a sythe for laying up sheeves and loading them on to the ox cart
Speaking of skinning a cat when I was a young boy 6 years old maybe younger there were some people that we called the cat people they lived on the Bayou across from duponts fish market this was downtown shreveport la.in view of large buildings we would drive by they would have cats strung up on what looked to be clothes lines skinning them out they eat them they lived in a little outdoor toilet size Shack they sit on Apple crates for chairs they were old when they died the city came in there and tore it down they found 125,000 1960s dollars hidden in the walls I guess they saved every dime they ever got their hands on
A secret not to glue your clamped board is to put johnsons pasre wax on your little board it will come right off what you dont wont it on with mineral spirits i prefer this to plastic are parchement paper its also good to put on wood screws if you dont have any use a bar of soap on srews works great too
I love watching you work. I used to build speaker cabinets, and seeing you install the soundhole brace ring made me think of a port in a speaker box. If you made the inside radius match the sound hole, would it give the guitar a deeper resonance?
Jerry,,,,, just a suggestion that came to me while watching you cut and install the wooden backer ring under the sound hole...... what about gluing a patch of fiberglass cloth on there instead, and then cutting it out afterward with your exacto knife?
.just a suggestion Should put some protection on the side of your"bench dog".that the top of the guitar was resting against.i kept seeing it come slightly off and knick against that wood..i know your experienced and all.but most of us would have knicked the edge of that top fairly well..at least some dents..but maybe binding would resolve all that anyhow..that's why your the pro😂

I cut 12 acres of hay with my 9 foot haybine and it always seems to be in the 90's when I cut. George in Montana
Those sides are going to be bloody gorgeous when it's done !
Caleb is a good help

Doing what you do best. Thinking on your feet, in front of a crowd.

That is shaping up to be one stunner of a guitar
I always enjoy watching the building of your guitars. The skills, the methodical care of your hands. Always amazing 🎶🎶🎶

Love watching this build, Jerry. She’s going to be a humdinger. 👍
I SO love it how you show things going wrong as well 😀
This guy gives hope to the world. So much of what he does seems seat-of-the-pants, but it always seems to work out wonderfully in the end.
Quel beau travail ! Bravo jerry!
Beautiful work mate thank you
Well done Caleb.He has really stepped up to the plate.He is a great extra set of hands, eyes and brains.
Oh what a tangled web we weave....
Really enjoying this! Can't wait for the next.
Beautiful Rosewood, will be a great sounding resonance box!
Enjoy your videos. Wax paper works well.
so far so good.
You should write a book about all your original sayings Jerry :-)

Jings bud your having to fight this fella hard😟. Some scary stuff going on😟. Thanks for the video👍. Respect and stay healthy all.
Love watching your videos !! -- Those side pieces are BEAUTIFUL !!
I love the rosette
What a surprise at 19:55, the eye-dropper glue dispenser wasn't plugged with glue. ;-)

Better than the best

Good thing we love you. Otherwise I’d have to report you for all the cat skinning.
"This is what the Gibsons do" LOL😂
35:05 Bench Hook, not bench Dog.
great stuff! wondering why you don't use wax paper between the work and the caul to keep the caul from getting glues in..
Jerry**please explain the purpose of a rosette around the sound hole *other then decoration**DR KEL
I'm wondering if a rosewood top guitar would also sound good? Any thoughts? Thanks Jerry!!
Maybe this video will answer your question: th-cam.com/video/SiD26QGpgrs/w-d-xo.html
@@eannh4928 your not Jerry?
Nothing is simple.
Oh good... it's upside-down.
.
Update. I just went into the restroom and passed the stone.
👏👏👏👏👍🥰🇬🇧
Would it help to wet the gauze slightly before gluing? 😃
So why is there a reinforcement around the soundhole? My steel string doesn't have that.
copper rings/ bracelets ive found to be excellent for joint pain
Why [wise crack removed], LOL. 🤣
I don't like any part of it. Send it to me when it's finished and I'll 'destroy' it for you. But make sure it's finished. You're welcome.
