He’s not your partner, you are not a man’s equal.
Lol
and you're not a man
She's clearly better than you at just about everything, so what does that make you?
no maidens?
Never been laid huh? Damn.
This unsolicited repair work reminds me of the time we stole my old lead singer's guitar. It was the only thing his dad ever gave him and some idiot smashed it during an argument. It had been broken for years and he kept it in the back of a cupboard. We had a get together, snuck into his room and swiped it and took it to the guitarist's luthier. Once we explained the situation to him he dove into the project and rebuilt the entire thing. We gave it back to him on his birthday a few weeks later (he never realised it was missing), he cried for ages and hasn't put it down in the 15 years since.
Everyone should be so lucky to have friends as good hearted as yourselves.
Bless each one of you.
Wow that's amazing. Gotta be a Guinness world record if he's been holding it nonstop for 15 years!
🤘😜
@@mr.yellowstrat3352 Agreed, and if he's been playing the whole time he should be an amazing freaking player by now! LOL
Not quite as good friends as you think they clearly did the super glue trick. 🤣🤣🤣
Wonderful story
Thanks everyone for such lovely comments, I am so appreciative considering I’m not a repair person and I’ve learned a lot from all of you! He actually really loved it in the end - I mean, it was disgusting... 😂❤️🎸
Hmu if you and your mate ever split up 😉 there’s no girls in America quite like you lol
Is your boyfriend willing to play it? I'd like to hear it!
wish there was a boyfriend reaction in the end with the guitar reveal
Yeah its awsome that you can do that stuff I've played guyar for like 8 years and can barely change the strings.
Dont get my wrong I'm decent enough at the actual instrument but absolutely hopeless at the maintenance stuff.
Daisy,
You did a fantastic job!👌
This is actually the first video of yours that I've seen. Looks like I will be checking out your list of other videos to see what I can see.😉
I have played many instruments over the past 50+ years and always appreciate the younger generations getting involved with instrument building.
Thank you.🙂
If you build them you most certainly know how to fix them, even if you are not entirely familiar with particular materials. As you have demonstrated, the process is still the same.🤙
2 things. I would glue up the cracks when I cleated them, reestablishing the top as 1 piece. Also, when establishing a radius for the bridge, short strokes towards and away from the sound hole over where the bridge will be replaced. That is where you are gluing, so that is the shape you need. Going side to side just removes material without shaping to the desired contour. Nice job.
I am exactly the opposite. I “can” repair but can’t built 😅. The main recommendation I would give is to not use the heat gun without covering the rest of the guitar, except the bridge itself because heat will damage the finish. A quick way to isolate is to use cardboard leaving only the bridge cutout open. Cardboard is extremely resistant and doesn’t allow the heat to melt the finish. Some finishes might start creating bubbles almost immediately. Another good tip is to use steel wool on the fretboard to remove the “finger grease”. ;)
I’d agree with your suggestions
Is it ok to rub steel wool against the grain to be more aggresive with the cleaning? I worry that I will damage the fretboard if I use stool wool against ths grain, but going with the grain doesn't seem to take the crud off.
@@brushstroke3733 yes thin steel wool is absolutely fine for rosewood alike fretboards. Don’t forget to clean it well after. A magnet can pick up all the fine dust. Also lemon oil to hydrate every 6 months.
@@NelsonGago Thank you for the assurance and also the tip to use a magnet to pick up any wool shavings I miss when wiping down the guitar and area after. For anyone reading this, you must cover your pickups with tape completely before using steel wool anywhere near an electric guitar, as the shavings from the wool could damage the pickups if they get inside the windings.
@@brushstroke3733 yes cover all the pickup area. If it’s an electric bolt on neck I normally remove the neck and put the body away
I’ve been woodworking, making and repairing guitars for 53 years, and it’s plain to see you have a natural talent! Keep up the great work. Bill from frozen Mn.
Hi Daisy.
With a gloss finish on the soundboard it has become quite common now to flood cracks with low viscosity cyanoacrylate glue (very thin superglue) and let it set in its own time.
The excess can then be scraped and buffed to approximately match the original finish. Cracks on a soundboard even after this kind of repair will always be slightly visible but the idea, similar to your cleats, is to reinforce to prevent them from growing. The idea with the glue is that it saturates into the fibre of the wood creating a matrix similar to any resin and fibre bond. Its also good to remember that as most glues cure they pull the surfaces together as the solvent cures off.
Cool video. I enjoyed this.
Hope the owner was pleased :)
I wondered if the mass of the cleats attached to the soundboard might affect the tone or projection. I'm more used to hearing about superglue for this kind of repair.
Wonderful to know that there are young people keeping these old crafts alive. Particularly wonderful to see young women doing this. I'm almost 60 and have been playing guitar for 40 years, but unable to do anything other than re-stringing my acoustic. Fantastic video. Your boyfriend's a lucky guy.
The state of that fingerboard. Good lawd. Surprised you didn’t hand your partner their waking papers. 😂
And she's really CUTE, too!
I just keep thinking about someone showing they have as much care I have for a personal object as I do, and to express that care with the skill you have clearly demonstrated. It would be so overwhelmingly honorable, I would be brought to tears. Thank you for letting me know this kind of care is really out there!
Great video!
After my dad passed away in 2018, I still had his guitars. An 08 LP Supreme in nice condition, and his pride and joy $90 Yamaha 1983 FG335ii acoustic that had no less than 5 cracks in the neck, a nice 6" cave-in on the back and frets that looked pretty much like a line of silver paint they were so worn down.
After repairing all the cracks and other stuff, I realized that with guitars like that it's either All or nothing. If you replace a few bits here and there but leave others it will have problems. When it's used, over time it wears evenly and still sounds good. So I left the frets, bridge and nut since they all worked well together.
Anyway, it plays beautifully now, and it's no wonder why he never bought another acoustic. When I fixed the cracks I used a bit of groud turquoise dust in the glue, so rather than try to hide them I decided to make them stand out. He was never one to baby anything.
Wabi sabi: the beauty of well used, well loved and noticeably repaired things 😀
@@jensbomholt4529 hey, thanks for that! I couldn't remember the term for it. It's a beautiful way of looking at things.
Well done. That method of radius'ing the bridge works well for arch-tops, mandolins, also. The fretboard came out looking pristine!
Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
Great work, I'm really impressed with your work and your videos, calm, straight forward and educational, so glad to see your business is growing.
Magnificent video Daisy! The love and commitment you have to your craft just oozes out of every word spoken. I once restored an old Eko ranger which had similar cracks. I used cyanoacrylate to fill the splits, carefully buffed it & achieved a really nice finish. Please keep the vids coming. x
What you've done is awesome taking a part of yourself and giving to your love something he treasures I love my guitars and I bet he'll love what you have done
Every time he picks it up and makes it sing, he'll think of her.
He's a blessed man to have such a caring lady
Your caution care and consideration is admirable
So interesting and healing of this video. Good to know these details about repairing a guitar. So nice!
Never thought about repairing requiring different skills/knowledge than building. Good stuff!
I saw someone do a really cool thing for those by-feel-alone cleat glue ups: magnets! One on the top, the other on the cleat.
Absolutely love the idea of this video. Haven't come across your stuff before but I have subscribed after this one. Looking forward to more of your content. Thanks!
Wow, You are so kind to do this for him , Hope he knows how lucky he is ( Beauty, talent and skill all in one ).
This is so cool, I love working on guitars.
The only thing that made me say "Oh" was the adjustable wrench on the tuners. Music Nomad make a tool called "The Octopus" that doesn't risk leaving marks in the metal.
I hate adjustable wrenches on anything!!
Great job - awesome! If I came home from work one day and my wife had taken my favorite guitar, the one I was given as a gift from my dad on my 15th birthday, a Dixon sunburst acoustic (I've now had it 46 years) and did to it what you did on that one, I would be thrilled. Plus, I did not know until your video that a guitar maker is called a Luthier. Thank you.
Great repair! I was hoping to hear the guitar at the end! Looking forward to more videos!
Killer upload! You did a great job. This was a delight to watch.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice work, hope you didn’t actually lose your partner over it.
Check out twoodford and his equipment for bridge reattachments, neck resets, with thorough explanations, occasional humour and an amazing array of different guitars. (That’s Ted Woodford in Canada.)
Ted's videos, skills and humour are absolutely brilliant.
Yes, I recommend that anyone watch a few of his videos. His work is fantastic.
I love Ted, and his work is incredible, but he surely is not as fair as Daisy. I'd wager he'd agree.
I’m addicted to Ted lol
Plus one for Ted! Knowledgeable and skillful; its like dentistry and surgery, even keyhole surgery.
Interestingly, I was also a builder before I started doing repairs. I agree with you 100%, those are 2 sets of skills.
I would agree with every fix/clean you made and everything you chose not to alter. Great work!!
I have been watching a lot of luthier videos and this came up. Subscribed. A lovely thing to do that I hope he appreciated.
I built my first nut at age 13 in 1969, went on to repairing seriously by the early eighties and built my first guitar from scratch in 2004. It was Mahogonay back and sides, spruce top, Martin plans, a volute andGotoh tuners. Took it to the lunch room at work where a well known guitarist played it and said it was great. High praise. I was just pleased it turned out flawless. It sounds better as years go by. So I know how "chuffed" you felt Daisy. ( Terry from Oz).
Thanks for sharing this Terry! Wonderful.
I’m so glad you started this channel! I’ve only ever done work on electric guitars and I have an acoustic that was left to me by my grandfather when he passed that has a similar bridge issue. This video gave me the confidence to give it a go and see if I can get it back to where it needs to be! Thanks!
Hope you got it fixed up, and you're making it sing.
Such a beautiful video, I could watch and listen to you all day, Daisy 🤝🏼💯🙏🏻
Beautiful work - loved your conservatively thorough approach!! Well done!!
I hope we get to see the follow up video to this one. Did he love it? I use to have a Washburn acoustic and it was pretty nice but I sold it.
A little of linseed oil on the fretboard, softens up the gunk and is easier to remove, also you can always use 0000 steel wool on those frets. When you glue back the bridge, sometimes it can slip and you end up with a misaligned bridge, (happened to me once) to avoid that, use two wooden dowels on the 1st and 6th string holes on the bridge, once dry, drill them back. Always looking up to your videos. Keep up the good work.
Better yet, use the 0000 steel wool on the fretboard, then use the oil to condition the wood. Works perfectly.
@@xdoctorblindx Don'y you think the Steel wool is useless in a very dirty fretboard?
That was awesome. I have an old fender acoustic that needs the same treatment I've been nervous about doing. This video was just what I needed
I love your work Daisy. Keep it up.
Your partner is truly lucky to have someone as talented as yourself!
Why
@@paulbissonnette3650Why?
That's awesome. I love how you sanded the bridge using the sandpaper on the soundboard. I'd suggest doing it both ways (up-&-down like in the video, then toward-&-away from the sound hole) to get it as close as possible to the shape of the soundboard. The chalk on the bottom is a good idea, too so you limit any changes in bridge height; there are similar techniques used in metalworking for very-closely mating parts, and for 'flattening' or curving an optical part. Cheers.
Great video, you’re very talented. I really like the backing track in the video!
Girl, I wish I had run across a woman like yourself who put their soul into every guitar they touched when I started playing 50 years ago... With the love and humility you put into your craft you Will Be Guitar Builder Extraordinaire one day...
I dare say she already is. only thing now is time to become famous.
@@theeoddname I was to say the same... she already is
Daisy, I recommend that you watch some of Jerry Rosa's TH-cam repair videos. He shows exactly how to do the types of repairs that you did to your partners guitar. I've been repairing musical instruments for over forty years, and I still learn a lot from Jerry. I think that you are a lovely lady, and a beautiful person. Any man would be fortunate to have you as a friend or as a partner. Please do not use a heat gun around any guitar like that, use a small heating iron and apply heat directly to the bridge. Also, scrape any finish that is in the bridge footprint, it will make the bridge stick more securely.
Even though you didn't build the guitar you showed it the same respect and love as you do your own builds, that's awesome. Great job!
You did an amazing job. Was cool seeing you go through your process of thinking. I think building and repair are similar in the fact that you’re creating and or modifying. Both can be frustrating as well haha.
Great video!
Great work.
Would like to know if he liked it.
Negative points for clickbait title - unless he actually dumped you in which case he's an idiot.
@@barnett25
Bullshit, it's never a requirement
Great video! Can totally relate about being a maker not a repairer, but nonetheless you did an awesome job. Would have loved to have seen his reaction when first gazing upon it! 🙂
What a wonderful gift! Nicely done!
I’ve just discovered your channel. Very important point about the difference between building and repairing
Just found you today. Really detailed work and super repair!! Like 400 and subbing today!
Kinda curious why you didn't just go with some steel wool to clean off the gunk on the fretboard? I've used it a few times on my fretboards and I don't have any issues with its use. So I'd like to know if I shouldn't have.
I use it all the time too but only on rosewood, pau ferro alike fretboards. The only thing you have to be careful is to cover any pickups (in case of an electric) cause the dust will all be attracted by the magnets. I keep a vacuum at hand and keep cleaning as I go along. You can also use a trick of having a magnet close to the cleaning area.
@@NelsonGago for some reason, steel wool isn't as fine where I get them. They're coarser than even loofahs. So there wasn't that worry of stray metal fibers getting into pickups but it is definitely best practice to tape em up for protection like you did.
Yeah, it can’t just be any old steel wool obviously; it has too be very fine. Also, yes very important to tape up electronics, as filings will cause problems.
That bit about a family of badgers being able to live under the raised bridge got me in stitches. :D
Great result. Well done!
Amazing video, I'm not a repair person nor a builder but I can recommend one of the most informative, certainly the most entertaining guitar repair channel on TH-cam by Ted Woodford. I'm sure you are already familiar with his content but if not give it a look. From bridge removal and re-glue to nearly all you need to know about bridge and saddle height in a neck reset and so much more. As a side note, there is quite a lot of height left in those frets and anyone would be happy with them especially with the extra height gained as a result of the fretboard rejuvenation.
Guitar repair videos just because of the shear volume of old instruments can be made more frequently which will help with the growth of the channel and I, for one, will be looking forward to more...
+1 for Ted Woodford, he’s brilliant! 👍
Ditto, that dude is amazing and informative and funny.
Hey Daisy, nice video well done👌...I think that every good Luthier/ Guitarbuilder/ Maker has to be a good repairman/ women to. I've graduated in 1997 in Germany as a Luthier ( In German: Zupfinstrumentenmacher. We have a separation between Instruments you pick or Instruments you play with a Bow)....And in these Days it was permitted, after 3 Years of education, to build New Instruments. It was allowed to make Repairs, Parts, and assemble Instruments. You have to practice another 3 Years as a Repair Man/Women to get the Master and after that period of time you can make your Own builds. I've made more than 10k repairs. And every repair Job expanded my knowledge and shows me new ways of getting things " Back on the Track". It´s very satisfying to keep Instruments alive, and if you manage a tricky repair.... 👌Amazing Feeling.. Keep on going with your Videos there are really nice...Make your own experience and do your Thing. Best Regards to England. Nik
Martin Luthier was the first German to break away from the orthodox guitar builders in Rome in 1517. 🎸🎻⛪
@@sacredband9812 Yes you are totally right. As a matter of fact a lot of German Luthiers and Instrument builder have spread there knowledge and craftsmanship over the whole World. Good Example Martin Guitar, Steinway Pianos, Roger Rossmeisel, Arthur Lang, just to name a few of them...Allmost all of them were educated at the Luthier Schools Mittenwald or Marktneukirchen. Best Regards Nik
Looks Great!!! Awesome Job!!!!
That was a great video. I really love your approach to the project of not changing the profile of the frets and not using the dremel buffing wheel because you’re not familiar with the fret wire on the board. I’ll bet your partner is really happy with the results. Would like to see a follow up of the reveal.
I am enjoying your videos. The only things that made me nervous about your technique are using a heat gun unless it has a very low setting, because you could totally destroy the finish with a heat gun. I had to clean an even grungier fret board recently and I used a straight edge razor blade with one edge and it worked very well.the other thing that made me nervous was your using the spatula removing the bridge and not putting anything down to protect the surrounding surface. I hope you get in the habit of making lots of videos. Very enjoyable.
Agree with everything you said.
There are some interesting techniques used by other guitar repair/restoration YT hosts. Rosa String Works for example does some challenging projects and may provide some useful insight (I'm not affiliated).
[because you could totally destroy the finish with a heat gun. ]
Not just the finish, but something even more important: The tone and timbre. When you melt glues, you're at the temperature where the fibrous structure of the wood also changes.
Agreed, always heat the knife, not the guitar. Yikes.
As had been already mentioned, I too recommend Ted Woodford. Nothing phases him. Nice job by the way
You appear to give the same level of care and attention to the "rebuild" as you do instruments you have crafted from scratch by your hand. That comes from the internal drive which doesn't compromise based on who made the instrument you're working on, and is derived from a core desire to restore and reinstate. Keep going. You're dialed in and an inspiration to many.
Beautiful well thought out process displaying your skill well.
I can recommend twoodfrd's youtube channel.. Excellent builder and repair guy from Canada...
Daisy needs to subscribe to his channel and watch every video he has ever produced. She'll learn so much more than she knows now.
I will third that, Ted is an awesome watch and such a free sharer; if in Canada go visit him for a repair apprenticeship
I was going to say the same, Ted's use of a suction pad to get glue into cracks is something that you could learn from
@@johnthursfield3056 Another great technique of Ted's is to locate and hold a glued cleat in place with strong magnets.
@@Arnd2it Ted is a class act - so classy, in fact, that he wouldn't appreciate the way you've disparaged Daisy's skillset here.
Your boyfriend is very lucky to have you! Smart, talented , charming and thoughtful! Mr Boyfirnd, this ones a keeper! Oh and you definitely have a new subscriber Daisy!
Maybe comment on the actual content of the video and not just how "datable" she is?
Love the background song! Great video and mod!
Good repair job, I especially enjoyed the background guitar music.
You should make a video of the result… What he thought of it… Personally I think he’s the luckiest man in the world to have a girlfriend that’s a guitar luthier… That’s incredible.
I would say next time that you remove the lacquer from where the bridge was glued to the soundboard in the first place. Manufacturers don't seem to clean this up much anymore and as a consequence, the glue bond of the bridge is compromised (no wood to wood at the edges) which causes the lifting you saw in the first place.
Ted Woodford has some really awesome repair videos too. (TWoodford)
TWoodford is a master!
@@mrclean111111 I learn so much from his videos.
As is Rosa Stringworks.
You're so right in thinking everything through, logically. The only thing I would do differently is, when scraping the fingerboard, I use a full razor blade rather than an X-acto knife because you get a longer, straight edge against the surface. It's a more consistent flat edge so you won't gouge the wood accidently.
Nice job! I did a similar thing with one of my acoustics a while ago. Since I did not want to spend too much on clamps that I will rarely use I carved a block in the shape of the bridge to use as a clamp. Saw that Martin use them in their factory. I also leveled and crowned the frets rather than changing them out.
As amazing as guitars are, they’re “things.” A girl/woman like you who’s not only interested in guitars but could build a replacement one - whoa! That’s awesome, you’re a keeper!!
So her luthier skills are valuable only in the context of how worthy she is as a partner? Such a typical tonedeaf old white man comment.
His favorite guitar----- It's his favorite for a reason. It's one thing to bring a damaged guitar across the "repaired" finish line, but modifying or making "secret changes" could be a nightmare because he might not like that you did that and then not be able to tell you for fear of an argument. My guitars are my "girlfriend's" and you had better consult me before anything gets changed. I stand up for my women!
Great work on this guitar. I also like autosol as the final polish for frets
Very educational.. keep up the great work!
Daisy, please pay attention to your audio levels. The voice-over parts (the stuff that matters) are barely audible and the "fly-over" audio (the music while you're sanding, filing, luthiering) is deafening.
Amazing job. It seems like it turned out great in the end. I guess I always figured a luthier would also be a repair person, but I guess that isn't always the case. But it seems like you fixed it like a pro!
Glad I found you. I love watching expert hand work.
Nice workshop and tools. Good job on the repairs and hopefully it’s well received.
Nice method for re radiusing the bridge!
Very nice work ! Repair work is very satisfying. little advice for cleats, instead of using a rectangular shape, try using a circular shape that way they never go on crooked. An easy way to make them is by using a small circle punch. hope this helps !
I've had the good fortune to know half a dozen luthiers socially, apart from those who've worked on my guitars. And the thoughtfulness, the ability to communicate ideas about what makes an instrument sound bright or rich, how to look at the inevitable tradeoffs when making a new bridge and ensuring that it bonds not just mechanically to the top but also sonically, these are a delight to hear about.
It's a whole world of meaning. It helps us to remember to slow down and pay attention.
You are kind of awesome... You approached this with a skilled care and respect. I just subscribed you earned it.
Really enjoyed this. I did wince when you used the adjustable spanner to tighten the machine heads. But I felt you did an excellent job. Are you doing the Great guitar build off this year? If not you should throw your hat into next year's one. You'd give old Ben a run for his money.
Super cool, channel. Thanks, much and I hope 'getting dumped' was a jest! The guitar itself thanks you! Regarding crack repair, I recently heard of subjecting the instrument to very high humidity for a time to encourage the wood to swell, thereby minimizing the crack and any filling necessary. Then some kind of binding is applied inside to "permanently" secure the repair. I appreciate that you're sharing this wonderfully informative journey as you do.
I'm sure he was fine with it. Nice work. I swear I learn somehting from every one of your vids (that I've watched so far). I guess I knew on some level what the radius was, but I never thought about it much.
Very interesting seeing the process. Nice work. Cheers
I have a question! I have a beautiful old Washburn acoustic. The bridge is cracked. I took a look on the inside with my telescoping camera and saw that the inner piece of wood is also cracked. What is this piece called? Can it be removed? Can it be replaced? Thanks for this video, you gave me confidence to attempt this repair myself!
If that was my guitar, I would have loved you for doing the repairs. Awesome work!
Great video. Thanks for the education!
Loved watching the repair! Really loved the background music! How is that? If I may ask.
Who is that’s!
Woah! I just did a belly-bulge steam repair on my old Washburn D10 yesterday and gave it a nice setup etc, and just picked it up to test it out and enjoy a random Daisy Tempest video, and it wasn't until the last few shots I noticed the headstock on this one! Almost the exact same guitar! Haha. Likely from the same era as well since the bridge shape is also the same. Mine is all black though. Hope he liked the repair job!
Interested to know more about this. I have a 12 string WD10S that had a fair bulge when I bought it used. I keep it tuned to D standard now. Is this preferable or is E standard ok?
@@gerrykavanagh I won't vaunt myself into the role of "expert" on Daisy's channel, and likely you were asking her and not me anyway, but I would offer that no matter what you do, the bulge is going to affect the relationship between the bridge and the neck. Things like tuning down to a lower key, using lighter gauge strings, making the neck as straight as possible, shaving the saddle within a 64th-inch of its life (someone even came into the shop yesterday with a bulging 12-string and their solution was to only install six of the strings AND tune it down, haha) will all help the situation feel more tolerable, but if you really want to make it right, I would check with a local repair shop to see if they can fix it with steam. Worse case, it may be something more serious like the top coming unglued from a brace or even a broken brace, but I feel like that's less likely. And the person diagnosing it would probably have to be holding the instrument. That being said: if dropping it down a whole step makes it more enjoyable to play and you like it, go with that! Another recommendation if you really want to tune it up to E is to maybe try a set of the same gauge string you're used to but in a silk & steel version. You can still get a good amount of sound out them but much easier on the hands, especially on a 12-string!
You’re the second female luthier I have come across in the last week, the other being Rosie (featured on Ben Crowe’s channel). Love your methodical approach to repairs.
Daisy ,I may never build a guitar,however may be able to repair a few of my sons. As far as the guy leaving ,no worries ,his loss… you are a amazing person ,smart,you’ll do fine !! Ya got my sub.👍😇🇺🇸
@6:40 - Dry runs YES :) Q about the top where the bridge was glued - not sure if you did some light sanding there too? wouldn't the old glue bits interfere with the new glue bond? what did you do there - thanks for this vid
It is nice to hear the instrument after a build or repair.
Very thoughtful gift.
You're a keeper for sure. 😘
...The perfect definition of a work made with all your love...
Great job, an awesome thing to do for someone!
Great video and great music used as background.
that was great! nice job!
Looks great! I hope he took it okay. =) The only thing that made me twitch was not protecting the soundboard or the headstock veneer when removing the bridge or tuners, respectively. Otherwise it just looks like variations across practitioners, and it's cool to see how you do it!
Great work! really enjoyed the video, subscribed ✌
