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.
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!!!
I almost bought the router base recently. I was doing inlay on a fretboard for a banjo neck I am making for my brother. Decided I just couldn't justify the expense, especially converted into Canadian dollars. So I made do with the plastic Dremel router base which is not exactly 100% flat. It turned out okay and on the positive side I got confirmation my lungs are still working well in short, rapid puffs. The Stew Mac router base would make future projects easier. Thank you for giving people the opportunity to access these tools.
Also throwing in my hat for #2! You sold me on the Relief gauge. You can tell our stewmac overlords they’ve directly benefited from your vids. Since if I don’t win, I’ll be saving up for one of these.
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!
When I started on the path of making guitars I assumed I had all the wood working tools I would need. Now I do not blame you guys for my utter lack of knowledge and tools required to make a guitar someone would actually want, " rather than one that would find its place hanging behind a little used door " You have opened my eyes to what is necessary to make something of quality. Your channel has inspired me to make beautiful instruments. All these tools would be very welcome in my shop. Thanks for teaching us so much! How did you know all 4 tools have not found their way into my shop???
Hey Chris I am a very early subscriber. I usually make a few guitars a year and I could really use the neck relief guage.it would make my life sooooo much easier.
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.
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
I've been building electric guitars for a few years now and recently started building acoustic guitars. But the price of so many of the tools needed for acoustic building and repairing are out of my budget for a while. I've made many tools and jigs including side bender, radius dishes and cam clamps etc. Everything I've purchased from Stewmac so far have been great but I have to wait long periods of time and saving my pennies to get the next upgrade. I've watched many videos on the uses and value of so many of them.
Hey Ronald, FYI, if you want to get one of these tools through the drawing, you need to be subscribed to the channel and post which tool (1,2,3 or 4) you want in your comment. They said we can post more than one comment, so rip off 4 more comments to sign up for a chance at each one. Good luck!
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!!
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.
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.
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
#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..
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.
I have used all of these tools in the past and they are worth their weight in gold, but I don’t personally own all of them, so thanks for the opportunity. The neck relief gauge is one of them I would love to add to the collection!
I just started working for a local luthier and one of the first things he taught me to do was to file a nut. No special tools. That nut and saddle sander would be a great tool for a beginner. Thanks for all the tips.
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
The router base looks like a great addition. Not only is this channel informative, but there is humor as well - okay we will call it humor. Love everything every video you've put out so far and have really learned a lot about guitar building.
I am just starting my first scratch build (7th guitar), and really want to do my own inlays, so tool 1 is certainly something that would be very handy.
I'm not really an intermediate builder, just a beginner, but that router base would be an awesome addition to my tool collection. Thanks for the great video.
I have returned to building guitars as my retirement job after a 40 year break working in another field. I completed a 00 that I am very happy with and I have a dreadnaught and an OM in the works now. I would love to have that nut sander.
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.
Thanks guys! Great partnership with Stewmac. I’d love to own the nut and saddle tool. I do repair work for my dad and a few friends. Making and fitting a bone nut can be so frustrating.
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Have just build my first electric and have had trouble getting the neck relief correct so would love the neck relief gauge to that I can adjust it more accurately
Once again, as an intermediate tech, I learned something from your video. Any of the last three tools would help greatly with smaller repairs and set ups. Thanks for your efforts.
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.
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
Great demonstration! I have the two of the router bases and two of the circle cutters. I never noticed the little air tube. I had to go look, and one of mine has the air tube also. I really hate when the bottom of my nuts get rounded so I think I would like the nut and saddle tool. It is pricey and so I made a little "shooting board" for doing the bottom of the saddles where I put them on their side and slide the sandpaper past them like when you join the top or back, but it doesn't work so well for nuts because they are so tiny. I think the relief gauge has already been in my Stewmac cart for a long time so that's another tool that I might be getting soon. I usually don't buy the tools until I really am going to use then because I hate getting tools and not using them. I don't do repair work, so I think if I had that as a career, I would have bought that little gluing jack long ago.
I’d love to have ANYTHING from StewMac. I’m currently building my fourth instrument. I’m a StewMax subscriber, and order from them regularly. Their products are consistently top quality, they always deliver promptly, and their customer service people are courteous and helpful. World-class company with a friendly, family feeling!
Chria I found out I enjoy working on guitars as much as learning. The Neck Relief Gauge is better than eyeballing the relief. I'd like to have one. thank you for great content.
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
The hollow body expander tool. I work at the Gibson Custom Shop and build ES bodies in the White wood department… I could use this tool at work to repair bodies that do not glue together properly…. It might make life easier in some cases… Thanks for all you do … God Bless.
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😀
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😎
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.
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
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.
I work for a shop here in st Charles Missouri, ironically named driftwood music. We have one of the neck relief gauges and I love it. I also build guitars out of my home shop and would love the neck relief gauge for my own work!! Love your guys’ content!
I just sold guitar number 33, building 2 right now, and it took me to about build 25 before I started getting actually some decent tools. Such a huge difference. Also, many thanks on your review of the music nomad nut files, just got my set for bass. That said, I'm still coveting the#1 router base. I'm over here with chisels and xactos like a peasant.
Hey! Matt here. Congrats, you've been randomly selected to win the router base from the giveaway! When you get a chance, shoot us an email at Driftwoodguitarco@gmail.com so we can get your shipping details. Thanks!
Matt & Chris I could use tool #2- I could really use that neck relief jig.have been trying to build acustic guitars & ukes for 2yrs now. I have been slowly collecting tools that I need..I do have the stew Mac router base already. Thanks guys
The neck relief will help a lot but at the moment I can not afford the tool I only have one job and I take care of my kids in my days of work. But I enjoy watching the videos to making extra income making set up thank you for the ideas Guys God bless you guys
Greetings from Australia, I first saw your video series on aerosol spraying on the Stewmac website. I have a 1965 Maton ( no the Aussie manufacturer) electric that I ruined the finish on and that gave me the confidence to do it right. I also have to fix the nut and bridge on one of my acoustic guitars, so if tool number 3 is what I’d like.
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

Great job guys, tool #3 for me, working now on my second ukulele ☺️
Thanks so much guys. Hope you're doing well. Happy New year!!!
Love the scissor jack. It would help my repair time. Thanks for showing these tools, like them all.

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.
Tool 1-2-3-4 would all be good .
Thanks for all your previous teaching
I have returned to building guitars as my retirement job after a 40 year break working in another field. I completed a 00 that I am very happy with and I have a dreadnaught and an OM in the works now. I would love to have that nut sander.
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
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.
Tool number 1. The precision router base is on my list. Love the content guys. Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys! Great partnership with Stewmac. I’d love to own the nut and saddle tool. I do repair work for my dad and a few friends. Making and fitting a bone nut can be so frustrating.
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 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.
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.
Yes please. I like the router base. The system looks really handy!
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.
I see in my dreams the Nut and Saddle Sander!! Love your work and attitude. Both of you.
Greetings from Greece.
Scissor jack, I could put it to use. Thanks for doing this guys. I love all your videos.
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’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.
Have just build my first electric and have had trouble getting the neck relief correct so would love the neck relief gauge to that I can adjust it more accurately
Excellent video guys! I really like the Neck Relief Gauge.

Man, I could really use that scissor jack in repairing a guitar with loose braces right now. Love it. Great videos.
Also would love the Router Base to get going with my ukulele project and planned first acoustic guitar build.
The precision router base is also an awesome tool I could really use, thanks again!
I'd love to have the nut&saddle sander. I do have trouble with getting the bottom flat and straight.
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
Great demonstration! I have the two of the router bases and two of the circle cutters. I never noticed the little air tube. I had to go look, and one of mine has the air tube also.

#2 the neck relief gauge. That is extremely useful for the builder and the hobbyist.
Will be building my first electric aucustic guitar this year so the neck relief gauge would be very helpful
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.
Great video! I can imagine about a million uses for the router base!
Chria I found out I enjoy working on guitars as much as learning. The Neck Relief Gauge is better than eyeballing the relief. I'd like to have one. thank you for great content.
The scissors jack looks like it would be very useful. Thanks for the info
Awesome video! After watching I could really use a neck relief gauge, thanks again!
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
I could use the the nut and saddle sander. Thanks for the intro to the tools. Always good to to see what I should spend my money on next.
Great video guys. I’m interested in the neck relief gauge.
I mentioned on another video that nut sander is no longer available. would love to know where to get something of equal quality.
The hollow body expander tool. I work at the Gibson Custom Shop and build ES bodies in the White wood department… I could use this tool at work to repair bodies that do not glue together properly…. It might make life easier in some cases… Thanks for all you do … God Bless.
The router base set looks like a must have to me!
I really would enjoy the Neck Relief Gauge. Nice selection of tools guys!
The router base would be the pick for me. Thanks much for the info and entertainment all in one!
I work for a local music store in Virginia and that relief guage would be a big time saver. Appreciate the content fellas 😀
Hi Chris and Matt, # 4 tool is what i need, i am new to working on guitars, love your show, Ben
Would the saddle and nut jig help when fitting a new saddle on an arch top mandolin?. If so it would help for new saddles
Your channel is now my favorite on youtubes by the way!!!!!!
Great vid. Would love #3. Nut and saddle jig.
The precision router would be AWESOME! Thank you for the great content!
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😀
Wow, would love to have that router base, especially for inlays.
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😎
Tool #3 nut and saddle sander looks awesome as well for making nuts ! I’d love to get my hands on one
I would like to also be considered for the nut and saddle sander jig
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.
Also really want the neck relief gage. Super cool.
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
Tool #1 to replace my current wonky plastic dremel plunge router attachment would be just so nice. Greetings from Finland, you guys rock!
I really like that relief gauge. I would use that often.
Thanks guys. I'd love to have the router base. Looking to get into more detail work and inlays.
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.
I work for a shop here in st Charles Missouri, ironically named driftwood music. We have one of the neck relief gauges and I love it. I also build guitars out of my home shop and would love the neck relief gauge for my own work!! Love your guys’ content!
I just sold guitar number 33, building 2 right now, and it took me to about build 25 before I started getting actually some decent tools. Such a huge difference. Also, many thanks on your review of the music nomad nut files, just got my set for bass.
That said, I'm still coveting the#1 router base. I'm over here with chisels and xactos like a peasant.
Hey! Matt here. Congrats, you've been randomly selected to win the router base from the giveaway! When you get a chance, shoot us an email at Driftwoodguitarco@gmail.com so we can get your shipping details. Thanks!
Matt & Chris I could use tool #2- I could really use that neck relief jig.have been trying to build acustic guitars & ukes for 2yrs now. I have been slowly collecting tools that I need..I do have the stew Mac router base already. Thanks guys
The neck relief will help a lot but at the moment I can not afford the tool I only have one job and I take care of my kids in my days of work. But I enjoy watching the videos to making extra income making set up thank you for the ideas Guys God bless you guys
Greetings from Australia, I first saw your video series on aerosol spraying on the Stewmac website. I have a 1965 Maton ( no the Aussie manufacturer)
electric that I ruined the finish on and that gave me the confidence to do it right. I also have to fix the nut and bridge on one of my acoustic guitars, so if tool number 3 is what I’d like.
