I love when you make a mistake, Ben. I learn so much more from your "screw ups" than I do when everything goes well... 🙂
That’s all truth, how to dog yourself out of a self made home is hard fought knowledge and if you can find that from someone else’s mistakes - might be just the ticket to get you out of a bind later
Fascinating excision there!
Great work there Ben! This kind of repair shows great skill. And we have the pleasure of learning something else!
In my mind the mark of a great carpenter isn't being able to do everything perfectly, it's being able to adapt to things not being perfect, and once again you've proven to us exactly what that means. Fantastic work!
Ive come to the conclusion that your head Tattoo Ben is what gives you your special wood working skill's , so i am going to get mine done 😂😂 great repair dude 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Looks really good. Great job, Ben.
Again, your work is second to none man. That’s incredible!
Beautifully done, and excellently shot as well!
-Paul
Brilliant work as always, Ben!
That’s bloody amazing Ben!! You’re such an inspiration mate. I can’t believe you hid that!!!
Looks amazing, love your work Ben👍
Such incredible craftsmanship. Mesmerising.
Thanks Ben!

Watching that chisel get purchase was so satisfying! Brilliant, Brilliant work!
super awesome job Ben!!! 🖤
Damn, marvelous job inlaying that matching piece of wood!
It was fascinating watching the headstock repair, thanks for making the video
Great fix Ben it looks great. I love it when these things happen because then we all know the method to fix and how the result looks.
Its is amazing how a man of your cal-eye-ber can still put himself down. You're awesome dude!
Bravo Ben! Makes the heart sing! Love this guitar and long to see/hear the finished beast! 🥰🥰🍷🍷🎸🎸
So impressive Ben!!! ❤
Great save, Ben!
Masterful art and craftsmanship! Plus, you're an educator. Excellent video!
Looks great Ben !!
Lovely job. It's looking great.
Phew, so glad I didn't win this after all, couldn't possibly live with that 🙄🤣 Great job and the patience of a saint 👍
Ben, I neither make or play the guitar, as a child I took lessons, but that is it. I watch and subscribe to your channel because you are wealth of information for me. I do build things to support my photographic work. In the past, I would have trashed miss-cuts and other problems. You have shown me how to look at the problem and come up with a solution. Thank you so much for your talents.
there is not much better than seeing a skilled woodworker use an incredibly sharp chisel.
The definition of true craftsmanship isn't, not making mistakes. It's the ability to hid the mistakes you do make.
You deserve to be very happy with that repair, mind blowing skills 😮
That was a magic mend, Ben. Outstanding!
I think it looks fantastic as far as grain match. I learned something today. Thanks Ben.
Looks amazing Ben, you did a killer job. I think under the washer for the tuner, it will be totally invisible.
beautiful work
Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber here. Not interested in guitars per se but I love watching you work with wood. Your attention to detail and your calm, sometimes self-deprecating style makes for compelling viewing. The Bob Ross of woodworking 😊
Great Video!
the chisel section towards the end was so fun
I think you did an amazing job on that fix... If it's off at all it's only by a mm or less
That was amazing Ben👍👍👍Absolute top class big guy👍👍
nicely done 👍
Great job!
Thanks!
Awesome repair.
Far better than the "invisible mending" on my suit trousers
You clever fella, nicely done sir
Hi Ben. I really enjoyed the diagnostic and solution finding process in this one, as well as the precision execution. And biltong chisel. Chur 🤘🤘🤘
I suppose the other option was to replace the entire inlay.
Great job Ben, I would not know/see if I didn't know 🙂
Great repair mate! Defo invisible. I'm so looking forward to seeing it finished. Wish l'd won it though!!!
Absolutely fantastic craftsmen ship
19:06 now that is a big ass chisel haha
I wish i had the money and time to sign up for the building course.. that would be super badass..
Thanks for the content Ben .... Looking good .
Watching your videos gave me the confidence to repair my bass
If you stoned enough and hanging around with a guitar at home, you just can start staring on it. Once I found an autograph of Vladimir Holstinin from russian metal band ARIA on the top of my second-hand BCR Warlock - not completely washed away permanent marker. I think I could find this repair too. Eventually..
Anyway this is a really awesome work. Always enjoying your videos! Thank you so much!
Brilliant repair, way above my skill level.
I knew that would never do when you first done it lol!! Glad you realised 👍
Welldone that man
maybe do a matte finish on the headstock to hide the flame, clear but less glossy. kind of counter intuitive but it might hide the flame. maybe a gloss truss rod cover to accent. love the builds keep up the great work ben
I didn't think about the flame matching up, but I did think the colour of the new piece might show where the joint is. But that was before you said it was a bookmatched piece. Beautiful repair! I think I would have just dug out the whole inlay and redo the whole thing, but this works too of course. I was a little surprised you didn't use a clamping coul/call/kal/coule/cal/couelle (plx forgive my spelling, not a native here 😅)
Fine job! Looks just like it was originally to me. Nice one.
More SGs please and some Juniors, then Specials and then….
That's a very good repair.
And a timely reminder to never have your fingers or any other body parts in front of a cutting edge! I have a half-inch chisel scar to remind me not to be so stupid again.
When you uses the sandpaper at the end: magic! 😅
Whether you’re a brain surgeon, airline pilot or luthier, what marks the true professional is having the knowledge and ability to act calmly when things go pearshaped
perfect actually....😊
Headstock veneer glueups are surprisingly picky. Over-clamp and use a caul I've jury-rigged a few solutions after mistakes.
The Japanese art of Kintsugi is accepting fragility, building strength and resilience, and taking pride in the imperfect.
It looks great and don't beat yourself up so much!
Beautiful work and education, where do I send my check for the training? God Bless
11:13 exorcise? "THE POWER OF BEN COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF BEN COMPELS YOU!"
Ben!! Those clamps look like they need a de-rusting! :P
Does this series end here? I was rather hoping to see the finished product, but I now see it’s been four months and nothing further added to the playlist. So perhaps this is it?
Ben you tellus to turn a mistake's into a specal feature !
Ben you did great!!!!!!!!!
I love that giant chisel - how big exactly is it, as much as 1 1/2” maybe?
Jeez, when Ben was carving out the corner with a scalpel, some shavings popped out onto the headstock.
I caught myself blowing gently on my phone screen to try and dislodge it...
Lost in the moment!
😂
I had a wormhole in one of my fretboards. I like it, so I left it in the final.
Damnit Ben! Ha! Nice.
Is the line visible? Yes it is. But, you would have to be looking VERY closely to see it and have your face a few inches away. Guaranteed from 3 or 4 feet away nobody would ever see that. Even a foot away it's almost impossible to see it. Amazing fix Ben.
I reground 2 sets of the basic Marples (now Irwin) chisels to skews so I can get into corners like that headstock cavity. One set angled each direction / | and |\ Those babies come in so handy in so many situations.
I was originally planning on getting another set to grind to curved edges as well, but that was right when they changed over to the new Irwin design that does not match.... 😒 First world problems, huh? 🤣
WOW
I didn't figure out the flame issue before you did, but I'll take partial credit for asking whether the carving would reveal unmatched grain. What do I win? 😆 (PS: The flame isn't noticeable even without the tuners.)
Seems reasonable.
I think you might be missing an opportunity. What if you duplicated the motif of the fretboard and used the seem line of the new material to inlay a metal feature? Maybe duplicate it a second time on the opposite side as well. 4:30
❤
Excise
My bet is that once the tuners are on, it will disguise the flame and it's gonna look great.
A blind man would have loved to see this ♥️👌🏼
Gonna finish the sg soon?
Did we figure out the figuring? 🙂
Noyse. I probably would have ripped the inlay out and made a new one, but I don't even have the skills to do what you did in the first place, soooo . . . 😆
What happened to this guitar?? Was it finished? I need closure!
Omg. Clean and lube those g-clamp threads 😂
11:13 “exercise” = “excise”
The grains going that way, and that way" says the man using highly figured timber....
Did you ever finish this guitar? This was the last build video that I have seen.
No. Not finished. We are hoping............
a forest for the tree moment.
Amazing workmanship, but you really challenge yourself.
Graphgear 1000s a thing of the past?
11:12 the word you're looking for is "excise".
what happened to the travel guitar - did you give up?
Literally filmed the penultimate episode today.. goes live on Saturday all being well.. I'm a little scared she will implode and have been low key avoiding her for too long!
Dizzy Dean - It ain't bragging if you can do it. Regarding your 'presumptuousness' comment. 🤓
I dont make mistakes, just happenstance
This is a good example of why metal workers don't like to play with woods.
Why didn´t you just take of all that wood and make new peace in headstock? Just asking.
Whatever happened to this?
Chatoyance … more like SHIToyance when you noticed the mistake am I right 🤣
"I only had 2 clamps" ... Ben nobody on this community believes that 😂 more like "only 200 clamps"
its been hard to see smaller details like flame and grains since the change to the new studio. That close up lighting is brutal and everything specially lighter things is so washed out all the time. I didn't even notice any color in the piece you took out of the off cut until the last scene where it was not in the direct lighting. Even your face is over exposed it seems. Are they using HDR settings in the cameras or in editing? That would explain the changes as I see those same characteristics in video games with improper settings for HDR.
So all the years of building up your carpentry skills and you didn't allow for sods law. Sorry but oh my god the joint is there it's huge.
