Merry Christmas and thanks for all the support! Hope you all enjoy the holidays! The case I was sent for the guitar that I recently made was a touch too small. So I decided to make one. I forgot to mention that I didn't glue the foam down into the case but I will do when I've changed the clasps. You can get a ticket here to win the Guitar and the case www.greatguitargiveaway.com/product/neil-paskin-pask-makes-great-guitar-build-off-2022-invitational-entry/
Anyone know where the terms and conditions are for the giveaway? I see the rules page, which mentions terms and conditions, but can't find a page with any details.
No joke when I first found pasks channel my mind was blown. The scrap wood challenge. I believe it was Marquette designs or maybe it was that tool box. I was like this dudes table saw is closer to a machinist milling machine. Most table saws are like eh who cares it's square. No my guy no. Your saw is hardly square or true. Just cause it's a DeWalt or you paid $500 for it, it's not really square. Not really. And it sort of doesn't matter but it actually does unless u want to get stuck messing around and hand planing for a millenia. He seems to have learned from some old masters, the kind of techniques that make one appear like a wizard or alien to the common man😂
The author does like to from scratch, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
In my opinion, the things made by you, unlike other carpenters, are of the highest quality, as can be seen in video. You pay attention to every detail, which makes the product perfect. Thanks for your videos.
Strings aren't long enough, I'll just make those ... electrons are rubbish, I'll just design and build my own ... post is on strike, I'll just deliver it myself ... you are truly an inspiration to all, nothing is done just to be good enough, it's always make it as good as possible ... fantastic 👍
Wow. The whole project - guitar and case, from the handmade leather handle to the incredible copper tentacles to the little details like the vinyl decal. Just W O W 🤩
Thanks for the gifts of experience and technique. I don’t play a guitar. I don’t have or ever will have a guitar but as usual knew I would pick (see what I did there) up a valuable tip or two on woodworking. More like quite a few.! The tall, DIY feather board, the vertical reference fence and clamp holes in the tenon jig instead of t-tracks, the simple compass work to center and align the feet to the radius , balancing the case for handle placement, details of foam design and assembly in a presentation box, silicone on screw heads, etc. thanks for including all of those useful and universal aids. I always watch, even if I’m not remotely interested in the particular project, and always gain something from makers in these videos and you are the best.
A drum sander is an AMAZING thing to have. To be able to do a bunch of sanding WITH effective dust collection is such a huge help. When I made a high chair for me niece from white oak, all the pieces came off the saw and went thru the drum sander with 150 grit, then got an 8th” roudover at the router table, all with dust collection. THEN I sanded with a random orbit.
Merry Christmas! Also, I should note that, if you want to cut foam, a straight razor would be a very close equivalent to the long-bladed razor knives that we use to cut foam.
Merry Christmas Pask! Thank you for another great year of entertaining and fascinating content. Always a pleasure to see what you've been cooking up in that amazing workshop.
Wow, I already thought the guitar looked great. But this case is really the icing on the cake. Very well done, Neil. I wish you and your relatives a Merry Christmas.
What a wonderful and fitting case for such a unique guitar. I love this. At one point, I thought the the case would even make a great desk with those beautiful round overs. Another magnificent project, Neil. You are a true artisan.
Este es uno de los trabajos más impresionantes que he visto...mis sinceras felicitaciones, usted posee un enorme talento y buen gusto. Sigo sus trabajos desde hace años. Un gran abrazo desde Buenos Aires!
demasiado despliegue de herramientas en acciones realmente inutiles como la construcción de los bordes de madera natural, o por qué meterle triply (terciado) si tiene para hacer directamente el cuerpo de madera natural? el típico showing de los gringos para mi gusto... lo que finalmente desvirtúa el trabajo de un carpintero, sin tanta maquina llegar al mismo resultado... con humildad mi opinión. Saludos
I have been watching your videos for over three years now and every time you amaze me with your creativity and craftsmanship. Thank you very much for your content and I look forward to what you create in the future. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! From Nashville, Tennessee!
There were some clever and invaluable things in this video that I really appreciate. Like balancing the case with the guitar inside to determine where to put the handle. So brilliant.
Hello Neil, thank you for your great video! You have golden hands, as people say in my neck of the woods. You excel in everything you touch. But I don't want to imply that behind your masterworks there isn't a ton of time, sweat, effort, hard work, learning, experience and patience. It is easy to dismiss or overlook hard work that goes into crafting and just saying "he is able to do all that because he is talented. And that's why I cannot do the same." But one of the most impactful values of your videos is showing the world just how much work, patience and attention to detail (maybe even unspoken fear of messing up) you give, to be able to produce these beautiful creations. Thank you for that, because you show, that mastery is in reach, provided one is willing to put the work in. Another year you have been teaching us that and more. Hats off to you. Merry Christmas and happy and safe New Year to you and your loved ones, Neil. You're awesome! :o)
Wow, that guitar and box are so nicely matched, both in look and in craftsmanship! It's amazing how much skill and devotion is put in this and it makes it all the more special! ♥♥
To reduce your tearout when you are trimming the parts using a flush trim bit in your router table. You should switch to using spiral flush trim router bits. Whiteside makes my favorite spiral flush trim bits. That case and guitar look great. Whoever wins it will definitely be happy with it.
Congratulations Neil for getting third place on your guitar build. Amazing that you achieved this with your first time entering. The host was completely blown away by your craftsmanship and over coming problems.
@PaskMakes that is awesome! I'm the woodworker/roady for my guitar playing husband. I've been learning how to make guitars in the hopes of making a guitar for him but I've been second guessing myself since I'm completely self taught from watching channels such as yours. This case...is well within my current skills. Thanks for the lesson and the inspiration! I'll search up your guitar built later.
My favorite thing to hear you say is "That just won't do, so I made my own.". I always know something good is coming. 🙂 Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Neil: thanks for another fascinating video. I just want to praise you for one particular thing - "...which I haven't used before." That you're not afraid to try new methods and products on things that matter, and not throwaway pieces, is really a gift to all of us. It helps lessen the fear of failure and mistakes - or rather, the fear of the consequences of failure and mistakes. It's much appreciated and something I truly admire.
Really cool guitar and case. Top notch. I would add a strip of wood down the inside lip of the handle side of the case. This will slip behind and support the opposite side of the case when it is carried by the handle. Alternatively you could add another handle to the other side of the case.
Love the bit where you used the cardboard to shield the case from the spray glue overspray. One of those, of course you can do that sort of moments for me. I also really loved seeing you put in the care to balance the handle and case. This piece is just as stunning as the guitar!
Neil. A very enjoyable build, my son is a musician and i've always fancied a go at making a case....perhaps one for next year. Please accept my warmest gratitude for the artistry of your designs and mastery of your craft which you present with the voice of an educator. My life is richer for your content. Kind regards, D
Balancing the case with the guitar in it, to find where to place the handle. Brilliant. It is little things like that I wouldn't know to do myself. Great video!
Thats so satisfying to watch. The best part for me to watch making you veneers out of solid wood. Even that kumiko veneers you made earlier. Keep it up. Wish to learn more from you like this.
ive learned so many ideas and approaches from your workflow, its a honor that you have shared this with all of us. i tend to hold my subsciptions. but you sir have earned one.
Just beautiful workmanship. That was the best 30 minutes of my day. I would love to have the time to learn to build like this, but all my time is spent playing guitar ;0) Again, a real joy to watch you work. Namaste x
That's beautiful work man. It's too nice, though. I wouldn't want to bash it up!! You finished that beautifully. This would be a fantastic idea for on the wall, with a glass front. Would be gorgeous. So many possibilities on the veneers you could do, and what you could do with the rear panel...
Love watching your videos. Simple to follow, effective, maybe not super beautiful edited with several clever shots, angles and stuff like some channels, but just perfectly spot on no extra. You deserve every follower you have!
Your guitar build and case is one of the most inspiring guitar builds I've seen yet. So much custom and personality in it. I would have to say you really do like what you do.
I always get a deep appreciation from watching your videos-for the value of so much hard work done in good spirit and maybe, the beauty of dedication. No matter what you’re making or if I think I’ll ever make anything like it, your way of making is inspiring for me to watch. Merry Christmas!
Really beautiful work! I have been thinking about trying kerf bending, it's good to see a practical application like this. If you make more cases, you might want to leave a compartment somewhere in the case for the extra little things like a strap, spare strings, picks, maybe a cable. Even for a work of art like this that is probably too nice to be gigging every night, it's nice to keep any spare parts or related accoutrement right in the case with the guitar.
Awesome work as usual. I totally dig everything you create but your woodworking skills are what brought me to your channel. I am glad to have some woodworking related projects again. Merry Christmas to you & your family & have a very happy New Year '23.
Looks great mate! (But needs a few 4ZZZ stickers on it.) I've made quite a few roadcases over the years. The trick for cutting the foam is to use an electric carving knife. Just a cheapie from Kmart is what I use. It works really well. Thanks again for your great content.
Absolutely inspiring work again! Thank you so much for diving into GGBO with such enthusiasm and skill. Also.. 'yes please' I would love to watch you make that handle!
It is such details as balancing the case and then put the carrying handle on that makes you one of my favorite woodworking youtubers. Great work as always. Merry Christmas and best regards /D
I actually like the case more than the guitar, but I am not a musician. Also I like the guitar more now than when I watched the last video. It's growing on me. I didn't really appreciate it at first, but the more I see it, the more I like it. Great job as always.
That is amazing. I voted for you, the process of making that guitar was so detailed and intricate yet your first guitar. Now that beautiful case. I’m glad I was introduced to your channel through this.
Beautiful work as always, Neil. Just a thought, if you put a dowel in the edge trim between the ends of the handle, it will connect the top to the bottom when the case is closed, and prevent the bottom from bowing out of register with the top. Most guitar case manufacturers use a latch near the handle for this purpose.
That was an awesome build. I'm just a bit disappointed we didn't get to see you "play" the foam guitar. I suppose you need to keep some moments to yourself. Merry Christmas and thanks for years of entertainment for me and my son. We enjoy your videos together very much.
Nothing but respect for all the time and effort you put into both the guitar and this awesome guitar case. Neil, they came out so absolutely freakin' cool looking!
...well, that was fantastic!...it looks amazing!!!...one suggestion for the next one (if there ever is a next one)...add a pocket, maybe with a flip cover, for a strap, picks and small tools...other than that, I have to admit it's the coolest case I've seen...👍
You’re obviously a skilled wood worker, but the thing that impressed me most was how you balanced the case to find the attach point for the handle so it would stay level when carried. Most people would probably have centered it for aesthetics, including me. 👍
A great addition to a beautiful guitar! Lots of great tips in here. My next project is a case for a bass I finished earlier this year, so this will come in very handy. Thanks for sharing!
Tip for you when using transfer tape that is too sticky: I lay it out on the granite counter tops in my kitchen, sticky side down, and then peel it off before covering the decal. Then just clean the counter with a little alcohol. Just makes the transfer tape a little less sticky.
I had never really thought about how much work goes into making a guitar case. No wonder they’re so expensive. And this is an amazing design for one, which I’d be afraid to actually use because I’d worry about the case itself getting banged up!
Another awesome project. I've also built a guitar case. I did it back around 1993 for my Gibson SG. I made it from one piece of 1/2' plywood. I used fabric to cover the outside because I could only afford the cheapest plywood. I also had to make using only a circular saw & some hand tools because I didn't/don't have a table saw. It is heavy as hell, but I get nothing but complements on it to this day. I'll see if I can take some photos to send you. Have a great Christmas & New Year.
Well done, great craftsmanship and care, I hope whoever wins it, kicks off a deep rabbit hole with music and creating their own experiences with it! ❤️ ❤️
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the support! Hope you all enjoy the holidays!

Nice. I did a gun case some years ago. Not as nice as this by any means. Never got down to doing the video to put up on YT.

Enjoy mate.
You didn't win the "Text 0n Telegram" entry Either??

You put more effort into the case than some folks put into their guitars. This is pretty amazing... Will definitely be bidding on this one!
Pask is the Master of Detail. You should see his Kumiko-Pattern Kayak or the wooden Blade-less Fan.

Your woodworking scope is only limited by your imagination, and the number of clamps you have. merry Christmas, and love your videos.
A very nice case for a beautiful guitar. May the new owner enjoy it immensely.
Thanks Doug - hope so! :)

Amazing work, Neil! Stunning looking case!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks very much! And Merry Christmas to you too! :)
You truly are a genius. The case looks amazing. Seriously some quality craftsmanship. Well done sir.
You were born to do this Paskie, simply beautiful.
Brilliiant... The curves and the routing the edges were a joy to watch...
Love watching your videos. Simple to follow, effective, maybe not super beautiful edited with several clever shots, angles and stuff like some channels, but just perfectly spot on no extra. You deserve every follower you have!

I’m speechless, such a remarkable work of art. Your level of skill and dedication is amazing.
Really beautiful work! I have been thinking about trying kerf bending, it's good to see a practical application like this.
If you make more cases, you might want to leave a compartment somewhere in the case for the extra little things like a strap, spare strings, picks, maybe a cable. Even for a work of art like this that is probably too nice to be gigging every night, it's nice to keep any spare parts or related accoutrement right in the case with the guitar.
Pure joy to watch such work I can't even imagine the cost of the case, given the time, materials and resources spent.
Awesome work as usual. I totally dig everything you create but your woodworking skills are what brought me to your channel. I am glad to have some woodworking related projects again.

You’re obviously a skilled wood worker, but the thing that impressed me most was how you balanced the case to find the attach point for the handle so it would stay level when carried. Most people would probably have centered it for aesthetics, including me. 👍
@PaskMakes. I’m not sure what this message means, package ??
A great addition to a beautiful guitar! Lots of great tips in here. My next project is a case for a bass I finished earlier this year, so this will come in very handy. Thanks for sharing!
The fit and finish is amazing and personally this is one of my favorite builds that you have done. Amazing work keep it up. Merry Christmas 🎄
Beautiful work of art Mr. Neil , your attention to detail is second to non .
Merry Christmas to you and yours . 🎅 🤶🧑🎄 🎄 🎁
This is incredible!! All the details are fabulous and someone is going to be very lucky!!
Tip for you when using transfer tape that is too sticky: I lay it out on the granite counter tops in my kitchen, sticky side down, and then peel it off before covering the decal. Then just clean the counter with a little alcohol. Just makes the transfer tape a little less sticky.
I had never really thought about how much work goes into making a guitar case. No wonder they’re so expensive. And this is an amazing design for one, which I’d be afraid to actually use because I’d worry about the case itself getting banged up!
Another awesome project. I've also built a guitar case. I did it back around 1993 for my Gibson SG. I made it from one piece of 1/2' plywood. I used fabric to cover the outside because I could only afford the cheapest plywood. I also had to make using only a circular saw & some hand tools because I didn't/don't have a table saw. It is heavy as hell, but I get nothing but complements on it to this day. I'll see if I can take some photos to send you. Have a great Christmas & New Year.
If anyone changes the vinyl on the top, they don’t appreciate art!!!
Amazing job, Neil!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
You're an absolute woodworking genius! Thanks for making all these great videos!
Its you and Mr. Diresta that truly know woodworking. Very nice job as always. Mary Christmas 🎄
What a gorgeous case! I really like how the black wattle looks
Well done, great craftsmanship and care, I hope whoever wins it, kicks off a deep rabbit hole with music and creating their own experiences with it! ❤️ ❤️
That was incredible! I have made a few guitars and tables ...nothing even comes close to this case! Well done!
