“Let me get my ears on.” I love that you practice safe woodworking. 😊😊 “This jig is the jam.”. I am a neck joint fearing man and this video gave me a new tool! And, I always learn something new each video.
Thanks Chris! I bought the O'Brien jig a year or so ago, but the Elevate sure looks cool. Definitely less bulky than the O'Brien but the O'Brien seems to have one advantage in that it dials in the neck angle (i.e. your 88.5 degrees) based on the geometry of the guitar body. The Elevate also looked scary when you clamped it onto the body to do the mortise -- seems like it'd be easy to ether be too loose (and risk it slipping) or too tight (and risk damaging the top). Plus your fingers so close to the spinning router bit was giving me the cringes. 🙂
Dude! I had no idea LMI glue had a black light additive. Thanks for that nugget.
Now that guitar is 3003 years old
This guy literally figured out guitar building through trial and error which is what makes a master. He’s made every mistake in the book and learned from them
It's great to see this build progressing! That jig looks incredibly useful. It took me way longer than I'd like to admit to line up the neck on my acoustic build.
I have previously used templates, but you've convinced me. Next commission I get, I'm buying this jig! Thanks!
Ha man you going to get this guitar done this year great work guys
Great explanation and demonstration of the Mortise and Tenon work. Sure shows the value of that jig! Best to y'all, as always.
Looking forward to the next video 😎 see you guys around Christmas 😂. Love the series keep them coming
‘Bout time, I already forgot how to build the rest! Totally kidding, so glad to see a new vid! Was stoked to get the notification
Right on! Needed a little Driftwood fix!
Stoked to see this series back!
Great jig! I want one. Also, awesome hair!
This build is so cool.
Patiently waiting for the inlay videos , your incredible work inspired me to take up the challenge of learning the craft myself.
Love all your videos it’s always a pleasant surprise when I see a new one
Excellent. Thank you.
Hey Chris,
Another Quality video- thanks for the insight. I look forward to the next video.
It's taking 3000 years for these videos to come out
Finally back 😊
This is so clearly shown and explained that if I was building a guitar I feel I could duplicate your instructions. Enjoying your series! Now if I can get ownership of one of your guitars. You ever have any dent and scratch models? Just kidding. Thanks!
Awesome video which shows how this jig works very well (I've been curious for a while). Are you also planning a before video of how you cut your 88.5 angle and an after video for neck fitting / joint tweaking. That would be the winner!
Great to see this process!
I was briefly terrified at 7:45. Way to add drama to the build!
more videos faster, if not for me, for will, who has been legit waiting multiple years. will has waited so long for his guitar that strangers in other countries are wondering when he is getting it
I’m pretty sure the last episode was 3000 years ago. Let’s face it even your hair is greyer right?😂😂😂
Got Em!
hey elevate send chris a couple locate pins for his jig for the pitch thanks chris for the demo.on there product i do have one and worth every penny
hello friends, I enjoy watching the video, I want to learn how to make guitar
I love seeing someone so confident in their capabilities that they’re happy to show themselves being completely befuddled as to which way the mortise and tenon go 😂
Because he knows that absolutely nobody else knows either.
Yeah, I noticed your router sounded just like a pyanee!
I was expectin' guitar music, since youzun buildin' one.
I lok yer jig fer the neyak!
Keep a-gwine.
Started watching this series 2 phones ago..
Great video and nice jig!
Who is Philips? The Phillips screw is named for Portland businessman Henry F. Phillips, who patented it a few years after founding the Phillips Screw Company - but although Phillips refined the new screw's design, the idea didn't originate with him.
We don’t remember what happened in the last episode either!!
I bought one of these after watching this video. $300 later, I got the jig, router bit and alignment bar. I routed the neck fine but when I got to the body, the bearing on the router bit failed and caused the bit to gouge up the jig. The owner said he would send me a new bit but to just bondo the jig and the joint should be o.k. He offered to sell me the jig portion for another $125. Just my experience. I wont buy from them again.
Whaaaaaaaat! No dovetail joint? That’s a Flarda Guff Coast boy fur ya. 🤣
I think it will be original a router hair cut? 🤗
He said he would explain the slightly deeper channel he routed next to the tenon at the end? Did I miss it? I believe he said it helped with fitting the neck on. Maybe it keeps the neck from rocking side to side?
I believe he did that to make the neck fitting easier as it enables flossing(sanding) of the remaining(proud) wood in the area that was recessed much simpler. If you try to floss that area without a recessed section then the sandpaper has to get tight with the tenon which never works as planned.....ask me how I know....lol
Boa noite tá demorando pra postar vídeos gosto muito do conteúdo, Deus abençoe
Did you use the 3/4” or 7/8” wide tenon / mortise jig from Chris at Elevate? Thanks.
Hey Chris, thanks for the video. Question: how do you determine and match the depth of both the mortice and the tenon? Thanks.
Don't mess my neck up
At least you’ve got heaps of time to save up for the purchase! 😅
nice video.. i have an (unrelated) question: on my guitar, the high E string's sound seems to fade out quicker than other strings, is that a bracing problem and is there a way to fix it? thank you
Is it really going to be 3000 years to build this guitar?
🤣🤣🤣
R u buying that one,?
You ever done this before man?
Lol will smith
Finally!
Hey lads, can ye recommend a good preferably all solid wood and good value acoustic guitar? What in your opinion would be a good guitar...dreadnought. thanks
So how are these considered handmade guitar building when your using this stuff, Saying handmade guitars is a lie and no difference in the way Taylor builds there guitars, Handmade my ass lol.
Chris builds and voices each and every guitar differently according to the customer's needs and wants. Also, Taylor doesn't do the stunning inlay work he does. (by hand) This is probably not the TH-cam channel for you.
@@dalgguitars regardless of what you are saying it's still not handmade get real.And I'll decide what channel I watch definitely you won't decide.
@@markstaggs7342 This begs the question, how would you define "hand made" guitars?
@@dalgguitars If your saying inlay work by hand Taylor and Martin will do inlay work if you want to pay the cost,And if someone claims they make guitars by hand and use the same power equipment as the manufactured guitar builders use I don't see how you can claim handmade, Handmade is handmade and those claim built handmade want a huge big dollar for a lie.Your not that stupid you know damn well what I'm talking about.Inlay work can be done by any guitar company if you want to spend the money ,Get real and stop the bullshit lies about saying there handmade some people might believe this B.S.
