- Routing the Trussed channel is a crucial step in any guitar build.
Join me in the workshop as where I show you my proces in as much detail as possible while we are making the Phoenix Rising guitar.
This is the first guitar building series coming from the new workshop so I'm very excited to show you around as I'm building this guitar and explain what I'm doing and more importantly, why and how I'm doing things.
For a brief history behind this guitar you can watch the following videos:
• What's happening?? - A...
• Thanks to your support...
• Phoenix Rising - Prolo...
And if you're interested in more guitar building videos?

I love how candid you are. It makes my nervousness feel more normal. I have to take a break quite often. I find slowing down (taking a break) really helps. Also, I really like the level of detail you are providing. It is a great education. And, when you go off camera to address some of the repetitive details it keeps things moving for the viewer. Length of the video is go (+/- 1hr). You are striking a good balance.
Thanks again Daniel, Im really enjoying this new format mate 👍🏼😊. Being a bit nervous is natural, sometimes, when you are as caring and fastidious with your work as you are!
I love how you shook your nerves and came back to finish the job!
He Daniel, hier een bericht in Nederlands. Moet even kwijt dat ik onder de indruk ben van je engels. Dat is enorm verbeterd. Waar het eerst nl-eng was is het nu engels. Goed bezig en je video’s zijn geweldig van details. Keep it up 👍
Ah-looo-mi- num LOL . Glad to see you again brother. God Bless you.
Aluminum was the original name coined by *British* chemist Humphry Davy.
In 1812, British scientist Thomas Young wrote an anonymous review of Davy's book, in which he proposed the name aluminium instead of aluminum, which he thought had a "less classical sound".
By 1890, both spellings had been common in the United States, the -ium spelling being slightly more common; by 1895, the situation had reversed; by 1900, aluminum had become twice as common as aluminium; in the next decade, the -um spelling dominated American usage. In 1925, the American Chemical Society adopted this spelling. 😃
So both are correct.
This is wonderful: your creation starts to breathe!
I perfectly understand your anxiety before routing the neck. I'm a hobbyist who (for now) built just one guitar and I had that same feeling many times during the process: when I had to route the neck and the body, when I had to glue the fretboard, cut the fret slots (oh, my!), gluing the finished neck to the body (this was a huge one)... The main difference is I am far less skilled and experienced than you are, so I did some mistakes, but luckily nothing that compromised the end result.
This Phoenix is growing gorgeous, Daniel!
Daniel , you are truly an expert and it shows in how much care you take at every aspect of your builds . I would make a suggestion to help cure the nerves of routing against the grain ... If you have to do that procedure again , maybe if you route one side with the grain with the template mounted to the "top" of your work piece then when you need to route the other side ... Switch the template to the "bottom" and route the other side also with the grain . Just a thought I had while watching ... Love your videos !! Thank you for sharing !!!
It’s interesting to me about your nervousness in routing ,since you’ve been away from the shop a long while. I too experienced this feeling , because I was away from the shop for 5 months, even though I’m very experienced in using long bits in the router or shaper .fear creeps in..self doubt, age and eye sight that has gotten worse .
I think the key is band sawing very close ,and using newish sharp bits. Hold the piece firm but not a death grip against the bearing .
Haha it’s like riding a bike, you never really forget .
I’m very happy you’ve gotten back in the game ,cheers
I really enjoyed this one, and empathize with the nerves. I am only on my fourth build and have a small bench top router table to work with, last time I went to use it my hands were shaking badly out of nerves. And I wasn't just scared for the wood. Can't wait to see the rest of this series, I learn a lot from your videos.
Also you should be using a starter pin on your router table. That helps prevent kickback.
That’s two neck’s worth of wood. I use a 1” black and do a scarf joint. 😃
Great job and enjoy watching!
Good job and keep the videos coming!
Yeah, really loving the long form vids! I also appreciate showing your nervousness when doing certain things! Helps us guys just starting out know that the pros get scared, and also where we should be really REALLY careful! Amazing work brother!
Thanks for explication
Hey Daniel, altijd blij als ik een nieuwe aflevering zie van deze serie! Ben zelf bezig aan een eerste single cut, dus de reeks komt als geroepen 😉 In verband met de mic: in het vervolg misschien ergens proberen te plaatsen waar je baard er niet tegen schuurt 😊

Ik moet inderdaad de mic op een andere plek vastzetten en mijn baard wat inkorten.
Saubere Arbeit, Respekt👍👍
Excellent. Step by step videos give the information and show your skill and craftsmanship. See you next time.
I think it was Aluminum originaly, then the royal society changed it to Aluminium, but by then the Americans already adopted the original name. Good choice taking a break when routing. I try to do some meditation and breathwork before doing a scary job. Just to get in to the right state.
Hi, Daniel, thank you for your interesting work. By the way, it is also good you shorten your beard lest it will be no more brushing on your shirt mic and making lovely rustling sound :-). Fingers crossed!
Beard has been shortened and I now know I have to put my mic in a different spot.
I should rewatch my footage more often to catch things like that.
Personally I didn't notice the brushing but you're right.
Daniel, you could attach the mic to the beard. 😅

Hey Daniel, you pronounce words the way you want to, we will understand, no stress mate! Cheers
Really interesting! I did a recent Crimson course (my second) and they wouldnt let me rout the section of end grain on the headstock tip. Instead i had to use the belt and spindle sander. How do you decide what is unsafe grain to use with the router table? Ie some endgrain is presumably supported ok, like the body end of the neck? I dont yet know how to read the wood even though it seems it should be obvious, but then grain changes direction all over the place...
Can't hear any sounds from your neighbor.
May I ask, what truss rod are you using here?
Hi Tyler,
I'm using a 'Regular' 460mm long dual-action truss-rod.
Zag je gitaren in Amsterdam guitar heaven, november 2023. Zag er prima uit, vakwerk.
Hi wkmetaal,
Bedankt!!
BTW, what router are you using in the router table?
Hi Peter,
I'm using a TRA001 Triton Router in my table.
Al-you-min-ee-um is the only correct way...aloominum is just plain wrong 🤣
