FINALLY someone shows how to measure up the bridge BEFORE drilling the holes..i must have went threw 10 vids before someone had enough sence to show how to do this from the beginning!...THANK YOU!..5 STARS!
That's a cool way to do that Randy! The way I learned was to have a piece of plywood or MDF, drill a hole and mount a pin or broken drill bit the same diameter as the holes you are drilling in the guitar body. Then use the bridge to drill partway through the guitar body, clamp that board with the pin to your drill press so that the drill bit and locating pin are perfectly centered then flip the guitar body over and use the first holes as locaters to finish the holes, keep everything set up the same way and just change the bit to drill for the ferrules! You are basically just using the holes drilled in the top as locaters in conjunction with the locating pin to finish the holes on the back of the body and also drill the ferrule holes! Sorry for the Bible sized comment just wanted to share since you always have cool jigs and techniques!
Yeah, I may have over thought it. Thanks. My thought process was that sometimes smaller drillbits will follow the grain of the wood and not go straight through.

Right, THIS is how you do it. The method in the video is way over-engineered, with too many steps, each introducing the possibility of error

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Great invention.
Thanks, Just a simple jig. If you don’t use your head, you might as well have two #*\ ~#*
3:42 -- ferrrule holes magically APPEAR!!!!
3:50 -- ferrrule holes magically DISAPPEAR!!!!
Oops, I guess I should have a disclaimer. “Some segments of this video may feature dramatized depictions of real events” 😆 lol Thanks
Cool!
you have assumed the join is in the centre line of the body ...it looked a bit off to me
It’s best to maintain a pencil line on the front and back and the ends, making sure everything is square. I’ll get better at it. Thanks.
You can buy a template that registered off the pickup route simple small and accurate
Nice informative video!!! Well done. When are you going to start selling some of these unique guitars? Are any available at this time?
Very soon! Still working on technique and designs
Disponibiliza esse projeto pra nós
ok... this is smart...
