Making a Purfling and Binding Thicknessing Jig

- In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I build a simple jig for cleaning up and planing binding and purfling strips down to their intended dimensions, using scrap wood, an old handplane blade, a threaded rod, and a dowel.

Genius! The simplest solutions are the most elegant.
Eric, thanks for the detailed makeup of that jig. I’m just starting with my first guitar build. I will be making one of those too. Great idea.
What a great idea, video and craftsman. THANK YOU....LOST CENTURY GUITARS PA.
Now THERE is a beautiful example of adhering to Man's oldest engineering principle: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). As an FYI for future use regarding rust removal. I've been a metal fabricator for over 50 years. For 40+ of those years, I tried to remove rust exactly as you did. No joy. The rust removal products promise to remove rust but you find that soaking in the goofy product only works in conjunction with grinding. THEN, I discovered molasses. Mix 1 part molasses to 9 parts water (I mix mine a little stronger.) and soak for 14 days. It ain't instant, but when you pull it out of the mixture, there's not rust down in the pits and you did it with NO elbow grease of die grinding/wire wheeling. If you have time before you need the item, it's the best way to go. Just rinse well and use. You're welcome - that was free. ;-)
Exactly what I need
Nice job Eric, simple but efficient, thanks
Этот парень умеет очень быстро пилить! Просто великолепно!
Fantastic, thank you for the video
I really appreciate your input to building , I am new to building guitars and I have learnt so much from you.
Thank you

Love it Eric! I don't build guitars but I do build turntables and sometimes use inlays for aesthetics and this is a grand solution to getting the strips thicknessed accurately.
Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for, making constantly sized purflings.👍
Very nice video Eric. I have been looking for ways to make my own purfling. I will give this a try.
ok, i just gotta say thats genius
I'll make one of these, Well done.
Brilliant! Simple and effective. Thanks Eric! :o) xx
Really like that jig thanks for sharing.
Thanks you, Eric - just what I was looking for!
Bravo!
Great idea. Thank you Eric.
Thank you Eric for a brilliant idea. Will definitely build that :)
Greetings from Greece ! I like your videos very much . Can you please share some information about the sanding polish machine ?
It's called the Worksharp 3000
great thanks
Good afternoon, thanks for the video! Please tell me where you can buy such a sharpening machine. Thank you. Best regards.
I LIKE it.
I was just thinking *today* about how the hell am I going to accurately thickness my binding strips without having a thickness sander (first time I'm doing wood bindings, which I'll be preparing myself instead of using ready made plastic bindings).
That was extremely helpful!
That Plane is 100% restorable.....
What modèle is your sharpening machine ....seems very practical ....i love to buy one !
Very good idea. Did you sharpen the blade to any particular angle, or just a 30 degree secondary bevel?
Btw:
I prepared a 1/4 inch mahogany piece, and plan to laminate it with a 1/32 veneer - and then slice it into a few binding strips.
Now, the veneer I cut on the bandsaw to just less than 1/16.
Do you have any suggestions (methodical/accurate) of how to go about it, other than just keep scraping and periodically checking with a thickness gauge - all over the 4x34 piece? (A real PITA, and also almost impossible to keep the surface flat and accurate).
Also - would you say that maybe it's not a big deal if I have variations of say +- .005?
Thanks!
Hi Eric, have you done a video on your sharpener? What make is it? Great job as always!
Looks like a Work Sharp.
Great videos!
What angle is the blade sharpened at, and which direction against the blade are you pulling?
? Ok if i wanted .to cut the strip .of purfling .in half . straight down the middle.till the end.in even lengths.how can i do that ?
Question, is that a homemade sharpener? if not what brand is it? thanks. If it is homemade would you share the plans for it?
The sharpener is WS3000. You can find it at either Rockler or Woodcraft about $199.99
Man I could have used this a couple weeks ago, I made wood bindings for the first time they came out great but it took me forever too hand plane & sand them to thickness. Thank you Eric Im going to build this tomorrow.. BTW does it matter which side you feed the binding strips through this jig??
Depending on how you sharpened it the burr will be on one side or the other, so whichever side the burr is on. But no, it doesn't matter necessarily. It can cut well on the flat or the bevel side.
Thank you so much Eric, I'm going to try to take one of your online courses maybe the True oil finishing class
thank you Eric. if you do not mind i use a grinder on the ragged end of the thread all at an angle . the nut idea is good too. its what i do . oh question please why the purfling ? if its plastic or can you get it as dyed wood strips ?
Thanks, Walter. That's a good idea. The strip I'm thicknessing has a maple purfling strip glued to the bottom of an ebony binding strip. This will manifest itself as side purfling later after it is installed. Yes, you can use dyed fiber strips too. I use them most of them time, unless I want more of a cream white, which I get from the maple.
@@EricSchaeferGuitars thank you
Hi eric you can tellme the name of the sharpener tool thanks!!!!!
Worksharp 3000. It's a great sharpening system.
Thank you very much Eric
thanks Eric, another great tip! I am currently building my first guitar and your videos are really precious, I watched a lot of them several times :) If you ever want to see what I'm doing, I am documenting my whole build, here is the latest video I posted about my build: th-cam.com/video/thZIo_RdSdU/w-d-xo.html
