Thanks guys... great video. Much appreciated.
ty stew mac for being the best
Thanks for making great products!! Pity the saddle sander is not available anymore.
Hi guys, I have been checking out your videos for about a year. Love them. I have built an acoustic, an electric and now am getting much more serious on my thied build. I have a drum sander
New radius dishes. Been watching the 3,000 yr old build. Trying to aquire tools. Starting this build with my 13 yr. old grandson. You guys are the bomb. Thanks.
Thanks guys...love the tips and tools video's...Happy New Year...
Loved the video. I have purchased and used many Stewmac tools and I have never been disappointed. My favorite tool in your video is the nut/saddle sanding tool. I currently make all my nuts and saddles using a bench sander then finishing it on a piece of granite and sandpaper followed by a fine honing stone. I am not exaggerating when I say I have sometimes spent up to 6 hours making a single nut. I am retired and thank god not trying to make money at it but there is no greater satisfaction than knowing you made it from scratch and it's perfect. Love y'alls videos. Keep'm coming.
I own three of these four and couldn’t agree more! The only one I don’t have is the nut/saddle leveler. I’ve just done so many with my own technique, I could never justify the price. That is, until now. It just makes sense if you’re doing 100’s of setups to speed up the process. Stew Mac should be proud to have you guys doing this series. Your natural charisma is contagious, and you guys have already won me over!! My Facebook business page has been up for years, and I’m just over 500 likes. Anyway, keep up the fantastic work!! You guys are simply awesome!! All the best for a great 2022!!!
#1 and #3 would help me allot.. I'm just starting my guitar building journey and could really use some good tools to help me out... I love your videos and your Guitars.. You guys are amazing and are full of good helpful information.. Thank you for the chance to get some good tools for those of us who could use all the help we can get... It is a great thing you guys do and thank you so much..
#1 is great, I have the tilting one, no air pump and the black one with depth stop. Great tools, love them, keep up the great work.
Love when you guys talk tools and their uses!
I'm just getting into doing setups (currently practicing on my own stuff), recently bought that relief gauge, it just saves SO much time and gives me the confidence in my results. Might build my first guitar this year, keep up all the good work!
Trying to be the sponge and soak up all your great tips and advice!
Cheers guys!
Great job guys, tool #3 for me, working now on my second ukulele ☺️
Happy New Year! I enjoy all of your videos. I could use the neck relief tool. I’m doing a lot of setups and this would be great. I’m looking forward to Matt getting back into the amp build. Take care!
Excellent video guys! I really like the Neck Relief Gauge.
Hey guys, so happy yall are creating more content. Been a huge fan for awhile. I plan on starting to build guitars next year when I buy a house that has room for a shop. I would like the router base kit as it would let me start working on my inlay work now instead of waiting a year! I think inlay work in about all I can manage at the moment with the space that I have.
No matter what, cant wait for some more 3000 year guitar build videos!
Yes please. I like the router base. The system looks really handy!
Gald you ate back. Love this information. Good tools are so important to a good job. Look forward to more videos. Thanks.
Love the videos guys! As others have commented, your humour and candour make for a genuine feeling viewing experience and I really like that. I'd love the router base! Keep up the great work!
Glad you guys are showing what these stewmac tool are used for like nut and Saddle sander , I've been eyeballing the mini router base for a long time. I just started my second guitar build and could definitely use it. I'm making an L.P. and I'm finding out it's more challenging to build than the telecaster I did. Love the show too . thanks guys
I have everything except the jack. That's cool! I didn't know I needed one but that would be handy on my guitar repairs. The router base, I bought mine back in the 1900's from Stew Mac. No really, 1999 to be exact, and the thing still works like a charm! Good show fellas. Good show.
Love the scissor jack. It would help my repair time. Thanks for showing these tools, like them all.
All 4 are wonderful tools! Cheers to SM for supporting the community.
The neck releif guage would rock here in my shop, I am now caught in the guitar building obsession since the beginning of covid, thanks for your channel it realy helps!!
StewMac Rules!! I have invested in many never any regrets. Very cool what Stewy&Driftwood are doing for the community. I would LOVE to finally own the neck relief gauge!! Cheers😎
Loved this video, great job fellas! (And yes, I could really use that sweet router base!)
Tool number 1. The precision router base is on my list. Love the content guys. Keep up the good work.
Great vid guys, love what you're doing. I'd love the Precision Router Base in my shop.
Wow, what a great gear collection. I'm moving from the relatively simple solidbodies to semi and later full acoustic guitars and these would give me a tremendous start. I'll add them to my gear lust list.
Enjoyed the video as always gents. Happy New Year.
Great video - StewMac is awesome. The Neck Relief Gauge would be a great addition to my tool collection.
Chris/Matt I really enjoy your videos. Working on guitars 5 and 6 getting better every one I build.. The neck relief gauge would certainly get used.
I am in the midst of building a 14-string (7 doubles) guitar and, I got to say, your videos have been a great help. The neck relief gauge (tool #2) would be a great asset for setting the neck relief on this beast and also on the matching 12-string that's next on the bench, and the two 12's I currently own.
Hi guys, thank you for your work, I need to do some various inlays for my brother's guitar that I'm currently fixing, I really will like to have the router/dremel's base, already have the dremel and I was thinking in purchasing the dremel brand routing base, but that stewmac seems better for the work but it is expensive, so thank you for sharing and congratulations to the winners. Happy new year 2022. Take care.
Just started doing repair work for a local music store. Learning everyday. Sure could use that router tool for my Dremel. Thanks guys!
Great video guys, thank you! I have been doing repair and setup work as a side hustle recently and could find a use for all of those tools, but the nut and saddle tool would really come in handy.
Tool #1 - Router Base - I am just starting to get into inlay work and was trying to decide what tools I needed, and this was one of them. I would love to have this in my toolbox. Guys, thanks to you and to StewMac for doing this.
This is a great tool( router base ) could use it for sure! Great explanation of the tools!
Love the StewMac tools and have collected quite a few over the past few years. Awesome to see that they are working with you guys. #3 would be a great addition to my toolbox - after making a couple dozen+ nuts and saddles, this tool would definitely up my nut and saddle game with speed and accuracy that is difficult to achieve when doing them by hand.
Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
I’d get good use out of the neck relief gauge. I’m on builds #9 and #10 right now, which puts me right in the heart of “intermediate!” Thanks for all the wisdom you guys share on the TH-cams!
Thanks so much guys. Hope you're doing well. Happy New year!!!
I could use all of these...they so cool. Love the channel.
I’ve been building CBG’s for a while. Just finished my first tele style (72 thinline). Your channel has given me the confidence and inspiration to go for trying my first acoustic build
Hi Chris and Matt, # 4 tool is what i need, i am new to working on guitars, love your show, Ben
Very nice of you guys...thank you. So, far all my builds have had dots for fret inlays. Really would like to try my hand at cool fretboard inlays using the router base.
Great start to a new direction for you, (although hope some of the bench sessions still pop up, you can never give up playing guitar, ever, once you're as profficient as you, especially with the fiddle as a duet?) As for the tools! That little router base looks brilliant, done repairs, built one cutaway for myself, but the binding is a real challenge with a larger hand router! But then so does tht little scisdor jack, genious! Looking forward to your 2022 vids, have a happy & healthy new year!
I’m building my jigs for my first Ukulele build. I would love the nut and sadle tool. Thanks again for your youtube channel !
Scissor jack, I could put it to use. Thanks for doing this guys. I love all your videos.
and I would love Tool 3 the Nut & Saddle sander its it's really what i need for save time ,, you know that feels when you done building your guitar and you very excited to hear how your baby sound,,, love you guys
cheers from sweden
Tool #2, I just purchased it, hope it’s as great as you say, it should be, the quality is fantastic. I’m a machinist by trade and love anything with a dial indicator on it😀
Your channel is one of my favorites! Always full of good information and enjoyable to watch. I've been using the cheap Dremel base attachments and have always wanted the StewMac one. Would make life so much easier.
I see in my dreams the Nut and Saddle Sander!! Love your work and attitude. Both of you.
Greetings from Greece.
Gentlemen Happy New Year. The only one of four not in my arsenal #4 repair jack would be welcome addition. Keep up the good work.
I have the dremel base, I could use any of the others I have two guitars built not fretted or set up and an old guitar I need to fix the top braces they all came lose.enjoy the show it's a good refresher on a lot of building items
#2 - The Neck Relief Gauge Beam - I just finished my 2nd from scratch build (TeleBaum - thinline style tele) and spent quite a bit of time getting the relief set properly, with feeler gauges. Very tedious, and I have 3 more electrics in the wings to build (2 LP's and a Tele Acoustisonic style). So, the relief beam would be really nice. Love it guys great channel. Happy New Year.
Tool #2 for me! Would love to be able to get such precise relief! Thanks fellas!
I would love tool #1! Thanks for all the great content, I'm excited about the things you guys have coming down the pipeline!
Nut and saddle sander! I've wanted that tool for a long time now 👍great video!
Great video! I can imagine about a million uses for the router base!
That router base for sure!! thanks for the vids guys!
The router base would be the pick for me. Thanks much for the info and entertainment all in one!
Your channel is now my favorite on youtubes by the way!!!!!!
Great stuff! That scissor jack rocks!
Another really informative show…really enjoy the repartee and great info…I have a lot of the tools, but a router base is on my wish list. Regardless…keep up the great content! Happy New Year fellas!
I really enjoy all your videos and have picked up so many useful tips. Mostly a mandolin builder but teaching a uke building class at the local high school. Would love to get my hands on one of those nut and saddle sanding jigs. Would definitely save my fingertips.
Thanks for this honest review of a bunch of really cool tools! (I only previously knew one of them existed!)
I would love to have a Precision Router Base, as I'm planning to get into doing inlays on my next couple builds.
Happy New Year guys.
Cool tools. They are expensive but you know what you are getting, especially if you are professional and have no time to play around.
Personally the precision Router Base it's to my liking as i'm really interested in inlay work and not only for guitar. I do have a diy one from plywood and bolts but it's clunky, sanding the base here and there to true it, and it takes a lot of time to adjust. Adding a edge guide makes it instantaneously useful for bindings.
Great video. I've been making electric guitar kits, but I want to try my hand at acoustic guitar building.
I wood really like to get that router base. For all the uses you described:
binding, rosettes, inlays, and nuts and saddles.
Looking forward to many more videos!
Thanks
I’ve built one electric already and have two more on the go already, and the precision router base would be super useful! I love what you guys are doing here on the channel. Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome video! After watching I could really use a neck relief gauge, thanks again!
Yes, Yes, Yes #3 Nut and Saddle Sander is on the top of my wish list now, since I recently just purchased the digital nut action gauge and the digital fret board relief gauge. Love your channel, and don’t hold it against me, but I live in Alabama. Just 2 hrs from Freeport.
Chris, Matt, I love your channel, your humor, and just your plain openness about any guitar making and repair topic you talk about. I am building guitars and ukuleles with a couple of friends, and we have all learned lots from you. I would love to have either the Jack, or the saddle and nut guide--though I could use the neck relief gage as well! I bought the router base last year and it was money well spent--I use it all the time. Hope you guys are doing well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Minus the tools you guys have gotten me started moving forward with building guitars again thank you
Love your channel guys! I'm just getting into guitar building. I would love the Precision Router Base and all the goodies that go with it. It's such a versatile tool that is useful in so many of the steps of the building process.
Another excellent video.. I’m doing setups and wanting to learn to make my own nuts and saddles.. I’d love to give that sander a try..
Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get serious about building and would love to have the nut and saddle sander. Thanks for your consideration!
Not a builder myself just a beginner/intermediate player who loves to do my own set ups and upgrades to my own guitars. The nut/ saddle sander would be nice for changing all my guitars to bone nuts/saddles. Hope to see your channel grow this year you guys definitely deserve it
The precision router base is also an awesome tool I could really use, thanks again!
You have rejuvenated my interest in building guitars again. That precision router base would be very welcome as I can't find my old one. Keep up the good work guys.
I already have the core of #1--what a great tool. I would like to throw my handle in the ring for #3-- saddle and nut jig. I've been watching for a couple of months now and have enjoy every video I've watched. Thanks for sharing your know-how.
dooh--somehow I always invoke strike-through
Thanks for what you do and the reviews are great. I see why these are must have tools. For me any of 1 through 3 as I’m primarily electric.
The Neck Relief Gauge… I need that tool in my life… that would be awesome…. Thanks for all you guys do I learn a lot from you.
The precision router base would rock. Thanks for the vids; keep em coming.
Another great video! I'd love the precision router base. Believe it or not I have just today bought my first ever Dremel!
I have built a couple guitars now and the level of quality certainly has improved over the course of 2 builds. However, I have attempted inlaying without the router base and it’s not easy. I have a dremel and some fine chisels and I’m sure the Stew Mac routing base would be much easier and make a way better job. It’d be awesome to win that in the giveaway. Regardless winning or not, I would like to say that you guys at driftwood have been a massive help when it’s come to learning to build guitars. Although I am yet to build an acoustic I think with the confidence that your videos have given me with building and modifying my electrics has been a great help. All in all love the videos and it’s great to watch along with a couple of guys with a great sense of humour and a great set of personalities.
Hi guys, love your videos. Very informative and entertaining. I’m interested in the nut at saddle sander. Thanks
Love to have the precision router base. I appreciate all the information on guitar building thank you
I’d love the relief tool. I use feeler gauges right now. I have the nut & saddle sander and it’s fantastic. StewMac is expensive, but for good reason - it’s top notch tools & it has a guarantee like old Sears Craftsman tools of the past.
Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get serious about building and would love to have the scissor jack. Thanks for your consideration!
The precision router would be AWESOME! Thank you for the great content!
Great, informative videos Chris and Matt. I am an advanced woodworker. Also a flat picker, and do acoustic guitar maintenance; new nuts and saddles, adjustments, neck resets, crack repairs, etc. Straightedge and feeler gage method. My son and I are building an acoustic dreadnought. We have supported StewMac for years! We would love to have the neck relief gauge in our arsenal to be more precise with setups.
Looking forward to continuing with your 3000 yr build. Keep 'em coming please.
Better NewYear,
Walter

Hi Chris and Matt, thanks for the channel. I have recently been venturing into collecting tools. i have my eye on the Neck Relief Gauge as I am working on building my own necks
LOVE your videos and channel and must revisit my years old Precision Router base purchase. Used it a couple times and maybe it was the Dremel that I find to be a useless toy or user error (most likely) but at this point in my intermediate building career it is the one regret I have in a tool purchase and never use it, not sure I can even find it. I will revisit and see if I can find a genuine use for it but THANKS as always for the videos.
So I guess I'm out for a free router base but the Neck Relief Gauge would be awesome.
Great video as usual, tool #4 scissor jack would be a great tool in my hobby arsenal
Tool number 1 interest! I just traded my buddy for a foredom tool and I got some plastic base off Amazon that works....ish... I would love the stewmac base for doing inlay. I would be glad to make a comparison video with that base and the plastic Amazon one to help promote you guys back if you send that bad boy my way. Great video regardless of if I'm selected! Thanks for continuing to make great content and I can't wait to see the rest of the amp build series!
Yesssssssssss!! Please!!! I’d love that dremmell router base kit.
On second thought, I’d be happy with any of these. I’ve not made any acoustics but that’s in the works.
I do a lot of setups or guitars and I can use the the neck gauge and all I ever had was funeral gauges and straight edges you guys have a great show
I love all the tips you guys give when describing the tools and how they function. It's good to know why the better quality tools are more expensive. The nut and saddle sander look pretty fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Hi again, Oh and the neck relief precision gauge, seems to give a better accurate, neck relief, oh man that would help me a lot too, Oh those 3 first tools, for my me, are really needed, but so expensive, I've always have trouble trying to make the nut's base flat, and never get it dead flat, always, something wrong with my hand pressure or wrist movement even at flat surfaces, but never thought or saw that tool, maybe to make a DIY. so thank you for sharing and congratulations to the winners.Take care.
Thanks for the great video guys. Would love to get the router base, have just started getting into guitar building and this would be great to try some inlay work
Great stuff dudes! The neck relief gauge would be the tool of choice for me.
The Nut & Saddle sander tool looks amazing. I am currently building my 4th guitar for one of my grandsons and getting the nut just right has been a challenge. Thank you for your great videos, I watch every episode.
I could use them all, you seem to always show the tools in my wish list!
Love your chanel and I am starting out with guitar building here on Åland but I will also do repairs and I could really do with the Neck relife tool becuse I get alot of questions on neck jobs. For the build the router tool for my Dremel would be icing on my guitar cake!!
