Paul Wood is one lucky soul,to get the last hurrah,the most awesome guitar in TH-cam history, although retirement is not all it's cracked up to be,hopefully Caleb can take over,and keep this channel as amazing as you have, thanks for all your fine work Mr Rose, enjoy.
Jerry? Have you seen the old panty hose trick for checking out your fret dressing job? I have carpal tunnel in both hands so this really helps me out. You cut the feet off of an old pair of panty hose. Now you have 2 mittens. Slide your hand into 1 and run it up and down the sides of the neck. If it grabs anywhere you know exactly what fret that needs a little more dressing. Im sure you have a better way, but this method really helps me out with my neuropothy problems. I know you have hand problems as well. Love you Jerry.
A hint on removing stubborn painter's tape.....use a hair dryer or heat gun set on low to heat the tape. It' softens the adhesive and pulls off without the damage you get from "cured" tape.
A razor blade makes a great squeegee for filling shallow details like that end block design. Really loving this series. And thanks to Caleb for getting these out!
"Highly accurate measurements is overated...just fitting everything by hand is where it's at." That quote had me rolling...especially when your measurements are often thousands of an inch. I literally laughed out loud. Thanks Jerry! Lol!
Also, just curious as to your reason for not doing the salt trick. I've heard of that and felt like if I built a guitar I'd be hesitant. But you've built a lot more guitars than me for sure. Curious to hear why you wouldn't do it.
Jerry, don't know if I'm happy or sad this is the last commission, no more nervous tension, catastrophic slip, I will miss the enthralling master build. Thanks. Respect and stay healthy all.
At around 40: 00, he's talking about how hard it is to clamp the binding to the end of the fretboard. He's also mentioned several times the struggles he has with holding certain parts steady for working, or gluing. There's old saying: "Archimedes said 'Give me a place to stand and I'll move the world.' The carpenter said 'Hold the dang thing steady so I can work on it!'"
This Sunday evening I watched pt. 8 & 9 and guess what? Part 10 has arrived! I will save that for tomorrow. What a nice way to spend the evening after a hard day’s work.
That is one beautiful job Jerry and it looks Perfect. I'm sure it will play even better as time goes by. The sound improves as the finish hardens over the years. Great Job 👍
As always, very good stuff. It took me a while to realize that the top of the glue dispenser is shaped to hold the cap up and out of the way. Thanks very much for showing us this stuff, and thumbs up to crush a troll.
A truly beautiful instrument Jerry, a real masterpiece. I am in absolute awe of your skills and your incredible patience. It must be so daunting starting an instrument like this and then constantly nerve wracking hoping you won’t make a mistake that ruins your work! I love how inventive you are at solving problems. It may be your last commissioned guitar, but you should be proud to have ended with such a triumph. Thank you for sharing with us.
Right on for making sure things are tight. Just had a quarter inch router bit sink into my neck cavity when it came loose at 20,000 RPM. I always treat routers with care, but mistakes can always happen. Scared the hell out of me.
As regards helping reduce air holes in epoxy, I've noticed that many, who use similar two-part resin products, run a heat gun (or in some cases, a torch) over the pour area as soon as they've poured the product. As I understand, it helps bring the air bubbles to the surface, and eliminate them. Now, I know you're applying it much thinner than they are in their 2" + deep pours, but perhaps the same approach would work for your needs. It would be nice to hear what others who have been using this technique may have to say.
Some of the quick slide clamps can be retrofit/flipped to spread rather than clamp. One of those might good for the sound hole clamp you needed to finish the fret board.
Hey Jerry , more of a workshop chat question, always been meaning to ask about the “carpet?” On top of your work bench. Is it carpet and how do you keep it from holding hold dirt n sawdust . It always looks clean
I'm guessing it's a carpet with an even 1/4 inch or so pile, not super shag of course, and he vacuums it between jobs with his shop vacuum and that's enough unless he has spilled liquid on it. Some things might not vacuum off too well, though, like graphite. Do you change it out every so often Jerry?
@@RosaStringWorks another option could be to attach the pattern to the ebony and then use a flush trim router bit (very sharp and fluted) to get that shape done very quickly.
Is the uneven spacing between the bottom of the fretboard & top looks closer to top at the back end a more gap at the top at the neck dovetail joint or is a camera illusion ?
Jerry does not use grain fillers. He finds the multiple applications and sanding in between to be no different than multiple coats of finish and sanding, so just a waste of time. Also, the fillers change the color of the wood.

I was just about to ask about Caleb. He's been quiet here lately.

You have more patience than I'll ever have. It would have been firewood by episode 4 for me. Cheers, Jerry!
The Tru Oil varnish finish looks great on the guitar and shows off the fine details. Enjoying your videos on the build. Great job.
Beautiful work. The headstock is gorgeous. The inlay work is amazing. Thanks Jerry🎶🎶🎶

I can second the comment about the joiner. Had a close call with one once. It happened before I knew what happened.
Just laughed at the message on your T-shirt . You do excellent work !

Love the t-shirt Jerry, I like your humor!
Another great video in the series, thanks for putting out the video!
Plugging it in is seriously under-rated.
Can't wait to see the final...so beautiful! Love watch you work....

I definitely want to watch that reso build! 👍👍👍👍👍

Just a beautiful guitar! The paduk may sound better but rosewood is so beautiful and sounds good too. Just beautiful!

Getting down to the wire on this one! I like the way you used a leather strop CREATE a rolled edge on the scraper, rather than removing one as usual.

That finish is really nice and the grain patterns are so enhanced. Beautiful!

My dyslexia kicked in and I thought your comment said "Loving cheese"
I'm So messed up.
@@zapa1pnt I love cheeses as well so you're correct!
@@abloke8834 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What an awesome Router !
That is one awesome guitar 🎸 🤘🏼❤️🔥
Jerry? Have you ever met Wayne Henderson? I notice you both use the rounded bridge pin lay out. I love it.

Love your videos Jerry, question for you, would like to know more about your method of sharpening scrapers.
I love your tee shirt❤️✝️
I would enjoy playing this guitar Paul will also has njoy it
Great content, thanks.

I bought that insize taper guage - I have been looking for one for ages - never knew what they were called. Thank for the tip
I'd give 5k for one of your guitars for sake of argument, your a great luthier..pretty darn good
His guitars start at $6500 and go up, from there.
Someone loves Paul Woods very much.
People who think using salt with glue is a good ideal have never watched kids make "Slime".

Paul should be very happy
Well, I would be, if my last name was Woods. 😢😢😢
Is 90% of a guitar build just cosmetic? :)

Can you not use laser cutter to cut the new bridge
It might have been possible but the problem is Blackwood as ebony is difficult to cut all the way through it though it would do it

At 53.02 - how come you say how come when you mean why?? (asked by my old science teacher)
It is a colloquialism.
Is the uneven spacing between the bottom of the fretboard & top looks closer to top at the back end a more gap at the top at the neck dovetail joint or is a camera illusion ?
welding gloves when sharping ?
I would not put my fingers that close to the router head.
What do you think of those clear pick guards
You put glue on the sides right
Did you use wood filler before applying varnish ?
Jerry does not use grain fillers. He finds the multiple applications and sanding in between to be no different than multiple coats of finish and sanding, so just a waste of time.
Also, the fillers change the color of the wood.
