Jerry thanks so much for the videos. Especially now with so much down time because of the virus. I find joy watching your videos. Thanks again.
Jerry, all you share with us is very appreciated. I enjoy watching your dedicated work and I learn a lot. Thank you! 🎶🎶🎶
We all appreciate the time and effort you both put into this. As far as I'm concerned videos like this are better than a Netflix movie for enjoyment.
This is exactly my thought. I'd rather binge watch Jerry's videos than watch Netflix at the moment!
I totally agree!
Ditto.
Yup! Couldn't have said it better Chris. Thanks Jerry!
Hi Jerry, I think you need to keep Mr Spielberg well away from your works or he may be tempted to kidnap Melissa! What a brilliant job she has made of this video, very much appreciated, very much enjoyed.
You needed Melissa well before you hired Melissa. She is truly a Godsend, and huge asset.
Melissa's doing a fantastic job! As a 25+ years broadcast video editor, I can totally relate to the enormous task she's taken on. Don't watch the clock on what she's doing - just like your builds, it takes time to achieve quality - and it's quality that brings results. The turning point will be when you can let go and not feel the need to run through what she's uploading. Go for it, Melissa!
Thank you very, very much for this video. A welcome distraction from all the troubles we’re in at this moment.
I normally give your vids the thumbs up before I even watch them.I've never been wrong.
Ditto.There's two guys on TH-cam I automatically give a thumbs up, Jerry, and The History Guy channel. Both never disappoint.
thanks Melissa and Jerry. Great job and much appreciated
That new binding looks sweet! Great job Jerry. Thanks for posting.
Hey Jerry good evening another great video doing some very intricate work very tedious work can't wait for Part3 stay safe my friend God bless
Thanks Jerry another great video well done Melissa for all your work stay safe all🙂
You are well appreciated once again I got a fun spot for you in my Heart , remind me of my deceased Father who Loved the guitar the reason why I play today..
Thank you Jerry Rosa
You never fail to satisfy me, Mr. Rosa.
Jerry, I agree its good glue. FYI, Elmer's also makes a very similar looking glue stick in the "Super" and "Xtreme" series and both of those are even stronger -- in fact they are very strong.
The product of your work and your assistant's work are greatly appreciated. All of you TH-camrs are especially appreciated while we're dealing with the situation in which we find ourselves.
Nice work my friend, I paint shellac on them it's a difficult to match old with new, hope you and your family are doing well stay safe, Mark and family.
i appreciate you and all you do for us to watch,...you do a great job
Really great work on that binding, and the "golf divot", Jerry. Undeniably fun to witness your many skills, and to see/feel your care and concern, while bringing this ol' gal back into, "Proper Pristine Patinage". Thoroughly enjoyable...as always...and I truly am looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe, good sir, and thanks for helping me (us) retain some semblance of sanity.
Don't worry, she'll get better!
Jerry, I really appreciate all the work you do on your videos. They are very educational and entertaining, Keep up the great work.
Hi Jerry! Good to see you!
"I got bit by the chicken." What a great expression. I've not heard it before. Those darn chickens can smell timidness!
Jerry, 90 percent of the cutting I do with a blade making card models is the #12 scalpel blade in an X-acto handle. I have the one with a cylindrical plastic guard with friction lock to the handle. Slide back to expose the blade, forward to keep safe in my caddy. Most often I slide the guard off, use the tool, then put back on and lock to put in my caddy with pencils, picks, etc. The guard allows me to reach for it without touching that scalpel blade! It is much easier to see the point than cutting with a straight blade. Enjoy the new tools and remember you can put the scalpel blades in an X-acto handle rather than clipping in the flat scalpel handle.
locked down in west central Scotland, praying for a new RSW to watch, thankyou Mellisa
"Make it worse to make it better." Apt description. Love it.
Hi Jerry;
The binding to me looks old, just not as old as the bottom. However, it looks real good. I do believe the customer will be happy. I know if it were my guitar and had been in the shape this one was when it came in, I would be very happy with the binding. I do hope all of your family is well and hunkered down in a safe place. Out here in Wisconsin, we are staying at home except to get food and supplies that are essential. This video came at a good time to lighten the mood of being home bound. Thanks and remember to thank your video assistant for the great editing work. May the lord be with you and your family.
Awesome Archtop Jerry, I have a Gibson 1934 L5 reissue and love it. I also have an old 1930s Kay or Harmony that was my dads and had many splits, one right down the middle. I had a local gentleman restore it back in the 80's but unfortunately his repairs didn't hold up. Late one night I was awakened to the guitar twanging with no one playing it! It was a scary experience but easily explained, one crack let loose and as the gap widened the stringed buzzed. It is now tucked away in a closet in a case and if the ghosts want to play it let them have at it!
That is what i call a marathon binding job...someone must really love that old Guitar. Great skill level and attension to detail as always Mr RSW. A lot of people do not realise just how much time and effort goes into producing youtube content...especially when you have hours of footage to go through. Mrs RSW did a fanatastic job on that front. The sound levels are nice n consistant to...props to me ladies...peace.
Whoever disliked this video must have had a bad childhood and is a bitter person.
The editing is AMAZING! Practically seamless; seems like a running monologue as you work. CONGRATULATIONS!
Unbelievable~The Patience of The Bibles-Job!
When U were putting in that Kerfing, somehow or Another, the Theme from "Mission Impossible" popped into my Head!
God HIMSELF must smile down on U, alot!
; )
While you were trying to darken the white binding, the old commercial went through my head: you'll wonder were the yellow went when you brush your teeth with pepsodent. Maybe you went the wrong direction, lol
G you must be 65 I remember that that's how old I am
That patch came out really well Jerry:)
Amazing work. Your attention to detail is second to none. I’ve been looking forward to the next episode of this epic restoration and haven’t been disappointed . The guitar is already looking so much better and like something that could be a playable musical instrument again instead of something for the dumpster. Well done!
Your patience is astonishing. I'm very good at moving little parts around until things fit and are beautiful, but you are something else again. I hope the person whose guitar that was paid you well.
Despite my best efforts, I keep learning. Thumbs up to crush a troll from one of your 40,000.
I really enjoy your videos. I just ordered you number system.
I actually liked the newness of the white binding. I'd be one of those heretics who tried to make the old binding look newer. :)
Man, that's looking great
I always enjoy watching your videos, and I even learn from them.
I also like Turmeric as a plastic dye. 10 pieces of my wife's best tupperwear can't be wrong !
B )))
Well done, Melissa!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇱
You know your stuff, I keep learning from you, thanks for sharing your videos
You are the master.
Sure is looking good!
I enjoyed this a lot.
Thumbs up at the beginning everytime ;-)
Wow, have to use every trick in the bag on this one. Can’t wait for part 3
Worth the wait Jerry. Thank you
Great stuff!
Thanks, Melissa.
Yep, you have it coming along nicely!
Great job and series Jerry,hope all is well in your part of the world,Cheers
Great job,thank you melissa.
The guitar is coming along nicely, and the video definitely deserves a thumbs up!
Definitely appreciated! Thanks so much Jerry.
great video thank you.
Looking great Jerry - I did film and video production in uni so I fully appreciate the effort that goes into making videos. I have hours and hours worth of various films sat on my computer and I'm logging all my guitar builds as I go too - it takes such a long time!
I've been looking forward to this!
Cheers Jerry, from locked down England.
hi from locked down sheffield mr bloke
Love every bit of the work here this binding looks so much better and the guitar I'm sure will look awesome. Congrats for teh edition of the video the transition and assembly looks really smooth
Jerry nice job as always. On the video I can see the color shades are not a perfect match, your wife will most likely call you out on it. Looking good even with the binding not perfectly matching, This is hard to match even with good color vision. No telling how long a perfect match now will stay identical since that thing is about 80 years old. Great videos showing the repair challenges and one way of how to overcome them.
I like the longer videos, as long as they are "Interesting!"... And yours are! 😷
If it was any better it would be perfect, Looks pretty damn perfect to me another lesson in only doing what you need to do and nothing more well done Jerry a masterful job as always.
Also that patch was done very very well ...
I wanted to yellow the binding on an ES 335 guitar kit and nothing dyed that stuff except General Finishes Amber Dye Stain. It catalyzes on the surface vs soaking into the plastic. Worked really well.
Binding looks great jerry at first I was worried...lol looks fantastic
thx... so much
Ha ha commented before you shellac'd it 😂😂
Jerry, those flush faced nippers work great to cut large parts of binding off. Works very well for neck binding. They look exactly like what Stew Mac sells as fret pullers, but a lot cheaper from Lowes or Home Depot.
thx...... so much..............
Pardon my intrusion, but I was watching you putting in that piece of kerfing and I kept wondering about using a soundpost setter for that. Stab it on there, and then you have enough holding power to put it where you want it, and hold it there. Maybe it's too short, I'm not sure how far that distance was, but something like that might be a way to deal with such issues. Just a thought. can't wait to hear this puppy strung up. LOVE those arch tops.
A violin sound post Setter would have been way too short. You might get by with a cello or Bass But if you don't have one handy ...
@@RosaStringWorks Well, there IS that.
That PVC would be Stubborn probably if you were able to use an Alcohol base or of acetone base to absorb? But what a lot of work bindings can be !
Those dyes are alcohol-based.
It's good to have an imagination... and a lot of experience with leather dyes! ;o)
Jerry those hook scalpel blades are great for cleaning out fret slots In my opinion
methyl ethyl ketone is better than actone it's used to bond acrylic aquariums together I've also used it on models to bond pvc parts together too
If you have PVC you can use plumbing cement for PVC pipe it will fuse it in to one piece hope this helps. Use in a well ventilated area. This stuff dries in three to five minutes.
I would think that the piece of binding that goes to the inside of the curve is shorter than the binding on the outside of the curve. That might be why they separate when placed on a curved surface after being glued together flat.
Great video nice work and the binding looks really good. Did you ever try soy sauce for colouring bindings? It smells weird but it browns everything down...
I see in gluing the chip into the hole you recognized straight lines draw the eye. One reason there are no straight lines on decent camouflage works on wood repairs. Curves and odd shapes blend better for me so they are not seen once tinted and finished.
Probably need more memory or a multicore processor. In addition, a good quality video card can make a difference. All three really. New computer may be deductible. That assumes your editing program supports multicore processors and that one understands the difference between memory and storage. Both are solid state these days. My solid state "hard drive..." boots windows in 21 seconds consistently. Whew!
My PC is custom built for that. I have roughly 20 gig of memory. I have a solid state hard drive for the video processing. I have mini mini mini terabytes of storage space. So I have all of the proper equipment. The problem is the old videos taken with the old camera somehow conflict with the program and caused a program to crash. The new video taken with the new camera never seems to cause a problem.
One thing I've seen work is brown shoe polish. Rub on and buff off. Apparently dollar store will give you more of an amber look.
Have you ever tried alcohol with some tobacco in it? Seems like that would be close. Love your videos and can't wait for each new one.
Hi,
Glad that I came across your o;d video. I hav3 a 1941 Epi Triumph that needs a neck see. The rest is in good shape although someone shave the neck and a unique top repair. It sounds good, plays well and presentable. Do, egotistical say yes? A ball park price? .
Jerry you ever hear of Doug Mounts Misty Morning ? He has a J45 that was not played 10 xs he stated to me and it was used in a honky Tonk back in the late 60s as a club .. It ended up getting busted over some Drunks Head I seen the J45 . all I could say is Damn .. I know you Like a challange .
lol and when I seen it I thought of you .. the neck and headstock is good nothing wrong with it by sight .. but im no pro .. lol .
Great Video Jerry. Out of interest would the canopy glue have worked for the body binding laminates, instead of the acetone?
I love the music in your videos. I think it might take a lot of time inserting overlaid comments that identify the tunes. Video editing works with an edit list based on timestamps. Instead of adding text overlays into the video, you could simply copy the name of the tune and the timestamp into the video description maybe? Might save some time. Great job on the video. Keep em coming! I actually have more time now than ever before.
I wonder if that's the way they make liquorice all sorts?
I am rebuilding a Harmony Arch Top Jazz Guitar. The Input, Treble, Volume, and Pickup are all grounded together. Would it benefit me to run a ground from the input, to say.. the Bridge where it screws into the end of the guitar? through the inside with a tiny hole for a wire?
If categories are real...I am an Epi-Dude. "Fender or Gibson" they asked and I said "well I like the Gibb neck however that Strat sculpt is sublime..." and I did not know the answer to that question. Four decades later I know what to say besides the smart-ass "I can play anything with strings" which is true however that is a bit "fringe" to most folk. "Brian Eno doesn't know how to play any instrument but the studio" would also be relevant. However: if you are into categories then I have just been reminded whilst I gaze at the beautiful archtop that I, indeed, am an Epi-Dude. Epi-SG. Epi-Wilshire. And the guitar above gives me a company identity, even after the Gibb buyout. Epiphone - lose the Gibb before they drag you to their little hell. Don't be intimidated, Gibson has exposed her colors and there is no Gibson that I remember. I had an LP Junior (100 dollars in '72) - a gorgeous little beast but I didn't like the single bridge P-90 sound, like the amp was buried in cardboard boxes. Fantastic neck which led me to my trade in - LP Junior for an - wait for it - Epiphone Wilshire, the finest solid-body on earth (early sixties) and Johnny Winter agrees. Epiphone, please fer crissakes lose the Gibb - cut that tumor free. The law is on your side. Guitars built by musicians. Simple and obviously beautiful. Thank you Jerry for my company affiliate choice. I'll be their artist representative if they don't mind a bit of Hank Williams reinterpretation. With Stones.
Hey Jerry,
Just a thought, Maybe a dado slot routed into the length of a board to stick the binding in, would allow you to run the binding through your thickness sander? might work? Would be a time saver in the future. Great Video!
I do use that method I have a couple of boards with slots in them that I use to hold the binding
In 1 hour and 10 minutes you got 1,131 views. Wow.
Greetings Mr. Rosas, what software are you using for video editing and what recording format are you using ( as well as resolution and frames per seconds)
Hi Jerry, What is the base liquid for the die tea? Thank you for the great videos!!
I always use fiebing's leather dyes. The aniline dyes. Not the oil dyes
You know they have vacuum cleaner attachments with small “dealies” and stuff that would work really well in sucking all that junk! 😆
Off and you can get something through the whole but you can't maneuver it f holes are not very big
Hi
Where can find some binding for a 1938 Ephiphone triumph? Fingerboard.
Thanks
Bobby
I’ve bound 1 guitar in my time, and that was a les Paul, pretty straight forward, I’m not questioning your decision so don’t take it that way, why did you decide to do the black and white mix on the outer binding and not using acetone to glue together 2 pieces of white to get the thickness you needed. Was it just an artistic decision? I mean it looks great I’d just like to know so if I am confronted with that decision I’d hope to make the right call as well.
I was just taking my best shot at trying to make it look similar to original. Most of the time they don't have a real wide solid color they generally break it up black and white Etc based on the remnants that I could see that was as close as I could get
I heard that if you put white plastic parts in coffee grounds that will "age" them. Though it takes a few weeks
I put that note on the screen.
@@RosaStringWorks yeah, I saw it about half way through the video. Should've watched all of it before commenting
Mr Rosa nice work....on your gut and the guitar as always Seriously 35 pounds is quite a bit of fat to lose How did you do it
Starvation diet. Since I'm really not into food as you may already understand. I don't really miss it at all.
@@RosaStringWorks I know it's hard but you need to get some nutrition at least
