Zach!!!! Dang, how did I not even think to get your input, I guess I'm getting old. Maybe I can talk you into tig welding one of these for me so we can see how that sounds. I can tig weld but I tig weld like a wood worker... you know, not that great.
very cool, I'm Brazilian and I really like these instruments, I'm studying to make one for myself, because it's very expensive here, and it's very difficult to find, I subscribed to the channel and I'm waiting for part two.. big hug.. google english translator hahahahahha
I could be wrong, but I believe most resonators are stamped out with an industrial press. Perhaps if you carved a mold you could hammer the sheet of steel into it?
Metal spinning for cones and stamping, I would think. Plus, some bodies are made from brass, nickel plated and then bead blasted through a stencil to get the palm tree pictures etc. From what I understand.
The original top I started with in episode 1 was 28 gauge, which I learned was way too thin. You'll see in later episodes I switched to 20 gauge and so far it's working really well.
@@Ninety2guits You think that 1 mm sheet is thin, so you suggest to use 2 mm? And one more question. Is the sheet ordinary black steel or is it stainless steel or something similar?
Thank you. On this episode 1 it was 28 gauge and it was way too thin, you'll see it failed around episode 5. If you are going to build one watch the series, particularly the episode where I cover costs. I give a lot of detail and info that will help if you are going to build one.
You can always call me for advice on metal fabrication!

Have not seen you before. But great video and build.
Thank you. Was just checking out your channel, great stuff on there. Going to take me a while to get through all that.
Far Out. Seriously FAR OUT! subscribed
nice start, hope to see more soon. greetings from the netherlands
Awesome! Cant wait for EP2 :) Cheers from Norway!
Thank you. Working on EP2 now.
Great content,your approach is refreshing,keep it going
Thanks, will do!
I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackled the neck pocket. Its the one part that has stopped me from attempting one of these.
Awesome 😮

Thanks Marcos. Hopefully these videos help you build your own.

진짜 멋있다! 좋은영상 감사합니다 저도 꼭 만들어보고 싶어요!
the front is all ones needs then place it over an exciting guitar.
Awesome! Can you make a fiberglass acoustic guitar?
Amazing work man. what gauge of sheet you used?
I'm using 28 gauge for the top and if you jump ahead to episode 4 you will see that becomes a problem. I have switched to 20 gauge steel now.
Hello, what is the exact thickness of the sheet metal for the guitar, I mean the box-case of the guitar?
The original top I started with in episode 1 was 28 gauge, which I learned was way too thin. You'll see in later episodes I switched to 20 gauge and so far it's working really well.
@@Ninety2guits Do you think it is good and enough to put around for the case 2mm sheet metal?
@@Ninety2guits You think that 1 mm sheet is thin, so you suggest to use 2 mm? And one more question. Is the sheet ordinary black steel or is it stainless steel or something similar?
Great video, thank you.
How thick is the sheet of metal you used please. Thank you

@@Ninety2guits great. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏
How thick in mm is the steel sheet to make the guitar?
End Grain of steel 🤣
That would be a bad ass to toilet seat
