Thanks for this. You could've just built the guitar, shown the process, and said nothing. Most people would not have understood the difference, or that you were making up side length. They would have probably assumed it was part of your process.But one of the things I've learn in woodworking and instrument building is that things don't often go as planned. Figuring out what to do when that happens is what makes a craftsman. Echoing sentiments already expressed, it is fitting you would do this on a final commission. That makes this instrument even better.
You're a crazy soab Jerry! You're also smart, funny, entertaining and a Master Craftsman! I think that many of us are envious or we admire the life you've lead. Thanks for showing us what a moral, skilled, ingenious person can do when things don't go as planned...
I’m so glad you went forward. Prettiest wood I’ve ever seen. The two best woodworkers i have known observed something to the effect, “The difference between the Master and a journeyman is the ability to hide their mistakes.” Not a mistake, but a wonderful alternative. You did what you do best. Solve the problem!
Jerry the road you are taking is slippery but your experience, knowledge and never give up attitude you have is why your repairs really are special to watch , thanks for putting them on.
Watching this build is like reading a book you love, you can’t wait to see how it ends but you don’t want it to. Cheers From Oz. Still haven’t seen my name on the fingerboard I must remember to act surprised when I do
You are one of my Top-Mentors in wood crafting, & Luthier skills! There are few that have documented the process, as detailed as you have! DYI (Do it yourself) skills, learning, passing your skills, knowledge, experience along to others is a passion for learning from every build perfectionist, but few have proved themselves as you have in documented videos.
Jerry, you are one of a kind my friend. All this work on the guitar then turn around and produce videos of the process while you go into detail about everything. I love this channel.
I'm glad you got to use the wood for the sides. The length is going to be made up and I'm sure it'll be a beautiful way that you make up for the length. Can't wait to see this guitar finished.
Best so far, I'm no confused at all, I knew me being dumb would come in handy 😂😂 Respect and stay healthy all. PS I would have planted the sides and let them grow a wee bit. 😂😂.

I think that neck block is brilliant! That’s exactly what needs to happen! That neck will be MUCH stronger without sacrificing tone. The heel block could actually be a little bigger also! I KNEW you would make it right. It will be a work of art! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
SO great to see the time and care you take ,the attention to details mind blowing ,the information we learn from you ,the wiser head very skilful indeed thank you ,it is a shame they don't make wood stretchers eh
Thin back and sides of the "rosewood you don't remember to ever bend before", plus a premium grade top. Color me whatever you like, I don't even care. I *want* this thing! ;-)
I recently bought a very inexpensive mandolin thinking I was going be able to pick it up and start learning. Boy I was wrong... I did however, anticipate this would be the case by watching you mando full meal deals come to life. Although, I'm no luthier I was able to mimic most of your motions to get the instrument into a playable range. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. When I'm ready for an upgrade I may just have to visit your vacation home and see how the master of the full meal deal does it.
Thanks for showing how things can mostly be made by hand and the impressive assortment of machines, purchased or homemade, behind you. Board Stretcher?
Hi Jerry; I was just wondering if your board stretcher was a Craftsman of a Stanley brand? I hear both brands are out of production and you have to search antique tool shops to find one anymore.
My board stretcher was made by KELLACRAFTERS UNLTD **I was going to send it to Jerry as a care package **while cleaning the shop ,my grandson threw it in the burn pile. **o, well too bad ***DR KEL
I do have a board stretcher I could loan you, but I’m out of stretching rosin and I don’t think they make that stuff anymore…I think it was probably bad for the environment.
Anyone actually tried stretching boards? How about putting in steamer for 'x' amount of time and then pulling with 'x' lbs/tons? each end. Take some setting up but..... over to you guys!
OK... by doing it right, Jerry again reduces his salary to $0.17 per hour. But that's OK because the huge YouTub income brings it up... to maybe $0.19 per hour. Integrity always has a cost.

I wish I had my Dad's board stretcher. It was so handy, but he sold it a few years back. :(
;)
I'm in for a treat, for sure. Hold on a second I want to grab a bowl of popcorn to go with the show.
Thank you
That is a beautiful wood grain on the sides you're making towards the end of this video Jerry

what better way to showcase your master skills with your final guitar than how you make up for the side deficit
Is this the same Phil Brown I know from N.C.?

I like the close up shots of setting the router. Great videography.
Beautiful rosette. It's really mesmerizing to watch. Craftsmanship is remarkable. Thanks Jerry 🎶🎶🎶
Jerrys rosettes cost allot of money in time**you can buy hand made rosettes of all kinds on line for less them 10 dollars.**DR KEL

Holy Hannah, those are stunning sides. Well worth extra effort to “stretch” them. Really enjoying this build.
Can hardly wait for the next video Jerry!
Good production work Caleb, I think I saw your credit at the beginning
Looking Great Jerry. Can't wait to hear it.
Jerry don't forget to reinforce the sound hole.***Chuck

Another great video in the series, i love seeing these instruments come together!

At 5.39, brilliant shot!
Looking good already!
I'm really enjoying these videos, awesome work thanks Jerry.
great, great, video
Looking good Jerry
I loved the spot zoom
Coming along great...Like they say..."where there`s a will,there`s a way" NICE GOING.

Thanks for showing how things can mostly be made by hand and the impressive assortment of machines, purchased or homemade, behind you. Board Stretcher?
The wood really looks like Cocobolo, its a rosewood species but very different looking from Indian rosewood.
great wood grain on the sides
Confessions of a heretic; I love it!
I would LOOOVE to own that guitar... but then i would have to learn to play i of course :)
Good job with the zoom in on the router.(Caleb's producing?)always wondering was i was supposed to be seeing🤣
Fancy camera zoom in post production!
I wish I could find my air hook as well. I must have mislaid it last time I did a ceiling. just my luck.
You probably got the board stecher stored with the gallon of plaid paint Jerry,,,lol
I'm surprised you didn't have Caleb find the board stretcher for you.

“Wonka Corp “has a taffy pulling machine that’d the trick.
It would be interesting to make it sort of a faux Spanish neck
I wonder what part you're gonna jump the gun on this time. Maybe string it up before putting in the label? Can't wait to see. :)
I use fertilizer to stretch wood.
First!
so !?
congratulation
Since the outer perfling is wider, maybe a wider gap would have looked better.
I do have a board stretcher I could loan you, but I’m out of stretching rosin and I don’t think they make that stuff anymore…I think it was probably bad for the environment.
Now the question is what will you use on the end? My sick little mind is hoping ebony 😏
About your hands.
Have you tried three days without wheat? Seems it isn't really wheat anymore.
Jerry, it sure sucks to get old. I do not recommend that to anyone. So stop getting old people LOL
I'm trying not to get old but my body is doing what it wants to.

@@dscdrkel5546 AWESOME! May you get many more.
Board stretcher? Caleb misplaced that too?
So I haven’t been around for a bit. It says the last hurrah guitar. Does this mean you won’t be doing anymore ?
What wood is the sides and back, is it osage orange or bocote or something?????????
I've often wondered why a person doesn't just put the wood in boiling water for a while before bending or would that remove coloring and needed oils ?
Im sure youve answered this somewhere, but did you make the body mold?
End graft (inlay) at the end block?
Why not do it on the tailblock in stead of the heelblock?
Anyone actually tried stretching boards? How about putting in steamer for 'x' amount of time and then pulling with 'x' lbs/tons? each end. Take some setting up but..... over to you guys!
Makes me nervous seeing you plane the final banding, well done though.
Gee Jerry, that neck looks a bit "blocky" to me! 😀
Jerry**please explain the purpose of a rosette around the sound hole *other then decoration**DR KEL
It's to strengthen the wood to prevent tearing in.
Board stretcher… so funny..
I can Appreciate Him and His Skill but listing to Him makes my Brain hurt.
All I can say to you is that you have to be smart enough to turn the volume down
You must be in a hurry. Obviously you don't have the patience to enjoy the banter added for its enjoyment. I feel sorry for you Ric!
Cant find the part 2. Help?
Same here. I think part 3 is 2...✌🙂

Youre not that old... the are trees much older than you and we dont hear any complains.
