I don’t always love your artistic choices but I love watching you make them. These are exactly the kind of videos that brought me to your channel, then to your school, and that will keep me watching your channel.
Just popped in to say how nice it is to see you again Ben. I've missed listening to you ponder all things creative as I toddle on throughout my day. Good health to you sir
I absolutely LOVE that body shape- so much so that I don't know if there is anything you could do with finish work that will alter how much I lust after this instrument- but I'll let you know if anything does change. In the meantime, I must say how pleased I am that you've returned to Making! I'm looking forward to see what you're going to come up with next, just as I did when I first discovered your videos about 6 or 7 years ago. I've been having some possibly serious medical issues that have been preventing me from doing much of anything at all- creative or otherwise, so even though I do love watching your creative process, it does sting just a bit, knowing I'm not able to use the creative urges you have always inspired within this old woman's soul. So just think of me when you have your moments of impatience if they begin to mission-creep towards resenting the process- - - -and just stop it, already! oh, yeah.... #SKULLNAME - the skull's name is Dali. Don't ask me why- ask HIM, for crying out loud. I'm just passing on the message. Mad Love, as always :)
This is what I like to see, Ben. Just because it was an older project and you want it finished... Doesn't mean you just rush through it and be unhappy still with the final outcome. Still pushing and going to the best of abilities.
Once again Ben made a perfecly fine istrument and could not stop there. No, he needs to push it and as always it is way too much for me but this is what I love the most in this channel. Thank you Ben for these amazing videos.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. I love watching Ben work, but often think he over-eggs things. He had some beautiful wood on this guitar, which was covered up with the stain - but that was actually rather beautful in the end. Then he's covered the stain up with... what is that? A pub table with a hundred beer glass stains, photoshopped into pink and gold. It detracts from the wonderfully eccentric shape of the body too.
This is where I would recommend a 3D printer to wither print a ring that you can then make a rubber coating for, or (if your printer can do it) print the ring directly in TPU. Love the look, though. Very nice.
Ben, please explain your reasoning behind the unusual neck attachment where the neck radius ends with a skinny tenon. I'd like to know why you chose to do that and if it works.
Scary sharp moulds! As for the tool - that hardly takes up more space than the one I have anyway - although it IS much smaller than the ones you currently produce. How about “neck scissor support”?
Couldn’t you use some rubber O-rings from the hardware store and glue them to blocks of wood to get stamps? Do you often develop ideas using what you have on hand? My brainstorming process largely requires me to go on multiple shopping trips to search for the parts I need and ideas can rarely be tested immediately after they come to mind. They often fail and I’m left wishing I hadn’t left the shop or spent the money.
#nametheskull - I was immediately reminded of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where he meets the abominable snowman, who says “I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and I shall call him George…” So. George. 👍🏻
A Guitar Slide would also make a very smart looking 👀 small disc too oh and PVC Pipe, eggcup ,the soft in your hand, your Wedding Ring..just make sure to retrieve it before usage…😂 Egg Rings, empty Crimson Smart Stains bottle, an empty gladwrap roll ..not a toilet roll because POO 💩…or Ben’s favourite.. His own Personal Coffee Cup ☕️ And perhaps a cookie 🍪 cutter Just off the top of my head for now 😂😂… Good Shit Ben am always loving your Creations come together.. ✌️😎👍🇳🇿
Hey Ben, the neck rest is cool n all. But wouldnt it make sense if crimson would redistribute gold leafing goods too. You use leafing quite a lot and are an inspiration for hobby makers. A crimson leafing kit could be appealing to these makers, because Amazon can lead these makers into a rabbit hole of correct size and leaf materials. Cheers V
Suggested name for the new Crimson tool ………………… a “neck chair”. Get it, so your beloved guitar can relax while it’s pampered, preened and perfected. Or it can just get a Summer rest whilst you’re on your deck chair with an ice cream 😎🙄😝👍🏻🎸 #namethattool
I can't build a damn guitar Ben.. I don't have the space at the moment. I've been watching your channel since 2017 or so and I started on my first build in my office space but the sawdust on my computers, printer, keyboard, monitors, and electronics experiments drove me mad. And now that I've got a girlfriend, she'd probably kill me if I make sawdust in the office again.. ;) But I have a plan.. I've done some maintenance on my shed last year because the wood panels on the outside were completely rotten through to the point that rain was getting inside and some of the wooden frame even had to be fixed. I then insulated the walls of the shed with rockwool and now almost done screwing some 18mm pine floor panels to the inside of the walls to protect the insulation and be able to hang some tools. When that's done, I'm planning to make a work bench in there and then I can continue to build a damn guitar. But it's far too hot right now with the sun burning on the flat roof of the shed. (Yesterday it was 30 degrees here in the Netherlands) When I step into the shed, I feel like slowly getting roasted. It must be 40 or 45 degrees C or something in there.. :)
#namethattool Foldable stand looks like a clothes peg when collapsed... how about "Crimson Ben-chpeg Stand'" or if you want something more in keeping with the video... The Crimson Guitars Verbose-Peg Stand
I really don't want to add to your plate but as much as you love burning stuff. The question comes to mind Why haven't you done a sho sugi effect or style of a guitar? I'd send you of what I've done but you could do much better but this app won't let me lol
I think he has. In the "old" days when his studio was upstairs next to the office, I think he blowtorched a whole body and then oiled it. Comments insisted it would warp, crack, soot the playing arm etc, but after a light brush down it seemed to be ok.
Murray #skullname The name of the skull in the pirate themed computer game series "Monkey Island", in which the skull is ignored by everyone, but thinks it's terrifying, and always says "I AM MURRAY".
Hmmm. I was thinking about names like "Elvis," or "Leo," (as in Fender) or, "Les," (as in Paul), or even Jimi, or Jerry, but I'm not sure that naming it for a real person is kosher Voodoo. So.. Zedd (Zedd's dead baby), or Disco Dan (also dead), maybe Ned (Stark), or dose it with that pink stain and call it Floyd. #skullname
Couldn't you have just painted the Gold Size on something like a jam jar or jam jar lid? Or any small bottle or lid really. Glass or plastic would be fine as they are basically non-porous. Polyethylene may be best as not a lot of glues bond with it. I would think that either would serve as a transfer medium of the Size to the wood of the guitar. Easier to hold too. Perhaps even just dip and stamp - especially since you were expecting non-perfect results with the gold leaf. Oh - and that guitar will be shedding gold leaf from the interior for the next few decades. Should call her Tinkerbell.

Reminds me of crocodile teeth for electronics. So I'll go with Crocodile Rest.
#namethattool it’s clearly a Crimson Neck Horse
nEquus in Latin?
Hickey
The Infinity Rest
Great to have some build series back instead of reels
I don’t always love your artistic choices but I love watching you make them. These are exactly the kind of videos that brought me to your channel, then to your school, and that will keep me watching your channel.
Yep, along with videos that show ‘how to’ do things with the most important aspect - context.
Good to see ben back building guitars. Good health sir
Thank you, it is good to be back in the right headspace again.. I'm having a blast and there is a lot more to come!
Just popped in to say how nice it is to see you again Ben. I've missed listening to you ponder all things creative as I toddle on throughout my day. Good health to you sir
Thank you, good health to you too.
you are a madman, thanks for designing a clever neck rest that doesn't take up a ton of space
I absolutely LOVE that body shape- so much so that I don't know if there is anything you could do with finish work that will alter how much I lust after this instrument- but I'll let you know if anything does change.

oh, yeah.... #SKULLNAME - the skull's name is Dali. Don't ask me why- ask HIM, for crying out loud. I'm just passing on the message.
Mad Love, as always :)

Ben.
Perfection can be found in things that are not perfect.
Nice work. 😀
Once again Ben made a perfecly fine istrument and could not stop there. No, he needs to push it and as always it is way too much for me but this is what I love the most in this channel. Thank you Ben for these amazing videos.

You are an inspiration Ben :) I don't always love what you do (rather like this one though), but I always love how you do it. Wonderful stuff.
This is where I would recommend a 3D printer to wither print a ring that you can then make a rubber coating for, or (if your printer can do it) print the ring directly in TPU.
Love the look, though. Very nice.
Very Cool Brother. God Bless
The skull should be named Yorick, as in, "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well."
I like the gold leaf and I want the tree it came from :) Nice work Ben, I think it looks good with the edges of the lines being a little broken.
Ben needs a 3d printer to make silicone stamp moulds. I used my printer to make the working parts for a fret press, big tr40 threads on the screw.
Ben, please explain your reasoning behind the unusual neck attachment where the neck radius ends with a skinny tenon. I'd like to know why you chose to do that and if it works.
I think the skull should be called Mortdecai. The foldable neck holder called The Band-it. Love these videos!
Flippin' Neck Rest!
Help Ben name his skull 11:40 😂 Comment below or use the #skullname 👇
That skull definitely gives me Jeff vibes. Yes my ideas are dumb.
Clarence... don't know why, just looks like a Clarence.
Beans
I'm thinking he should be called Murray, like the skull from Monkey Island
Pretty sure that's the skull of a wizard. Perhaps...some call him...Tim? #skullname #montypython
It reminds me of that 4-string guitar that Wes Borland uses on stage for some songs. Great work!!
Would love to see that wardrobe turned into a huge pop-out, expanding tool store.
I was heavily into HG Wells when I was around 9 years old and so having my bedroom modeled on an 18th century study would have been ideal
Projects like this is exactly why I bought a 3D printer. I would model and print those stamps in TPU.
I would use pieces of plumbing pipe.
@@SBZ5809 you would have a hard time with the curves on that top, though
Nice to see the biltong chisel back in action!
Scary sharp moulds!
As for the tool - that hardly takes up more space than the one I have anyway - although it IS much smaller than the ones you currently produce. How about “neck scissor support”?
#NAMETHATTOOL I'd call it a slingshot neck rest because it just looks like a slingshot :D
My Hercules neck rest fell over one to many times so I made a wide removable base for it. No more damaged guitar from a tipping neck rest!
Couldn’t you use some rubber O-rings from the hardware store and glue them to blocks of wood to get stamps?
Do you often develop ideas using what you have on hand? My brainstorming process largely requires me to go on multiple shopping trips to search for the parts I need and ideas can rarely be tested immediately after they come to mind.

#nametheskull - I was immediately reminded of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where he meets the abominable snowman, who says “I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and I shall call him George…” So. George. 👍🏻
The pattern made with the glue could also look nice with paint; a different take on a burst finish perhaps?
#skullname definitely Yorick. I knew him well, Horatio.
#namethattool The Scapula: Two part semi-flexible arrangement below the neck
Saghest #namethattool and I'm sure it's to late but you should use the varrying sizes of circles to bubble diagonally up the center just a suggestion
Bens Please use a coaster caster.
Collect all the gold flakes and put them in a bottle of schnapps, lol. The "Cup Ring" guitar is born. Looking good.
On the silicon stuff sticking to itself - mould release!
Good video, call the skull "Aleister".
#namethattool
looks like the chairs of a regisseur during filming. I thing #movieneckrest ore #ressigeur
🎉🎉
A Guitar Slide would also make a very smart looking 👀 small disc too oh and PVC Pipe, eggcup ,the soft in your hand, your Wedding Ring..just make sure to retrieve it before usage…😂 Egg Rings, empty Crimson Smart Stains bottle, an
empty gladwrap roll ..not a toilet roll because POO 💩…or Ben’s favourite.. His own Personal
Coffee Cup ☕️
And perhaps a cookie 🍪 cutter
Just off the top of my head for now 😂😂…
Good Shit Ben am always loving your Creations come together..
✌️😎👍🇳🇿
Zero Days Glitter free.
Ben will find Gold flitter even in the next years 🤣

A crimson leafing kit could be appealing to these makers, because Amazon can lead these makers into a rabbit hole of correct size and leaf materials. Cheers V
I'm thinking while you apply the "glue" : a string could make nice random patterns with a thin line, no ?
Thought i'd put Breaking Bad on by mistake! :D
Me when the sizing is on: Oh no, what has he done?!
Me when the gold is on: Oh, smashed it, nice!
Ahhh Ben, the truth is gold leaf is the work of the devil! Hellish stuff! Lol! X
The leather saddle backed neck rest should be called Blencathra - the original Saddleback
#NAMETHATTOOL I’d call it the “Red Neck” because who doesn’t love a bad pun?
It may not have been a perfect way of doing the leading or how you wanted it look, however, the end result turned out pretty awesome looking
#namethattool My suggestion is “(the Crimson) neck-cradle”
Suggested name for the new Crimson tool ………………… a “neck chair”. Get it, so your beloved guitar can relax while it’s pampered, preened and perfected. Or it can just get a Summer rest whilst you’re on your deck chair with an ice cream 😎🙄😝👍🏻🎸 #namethattool
The gold leaf pattern kinda reminds me of Circle Galifreyan from Doctor Who
#namethattool The Neck Sling
Last time I saw one of those beautiful rules it was being used to roll fingerprint ink at Highlands Police Station in Harare.
The Peg neck rest
How about, The Infinity Rest ?
New product name crimson guitars neck hammock and the skull can be call Eddie lol
Try to use uv glue, or polygel, that is used for nails.
#namethattool The Foldy Holdy
That's pretty much where I was going.

Call it the "active rest"
#namethattool. Jimmy Di Resta
Mimir The Rememberer
#namethattool - how about Neck Chair... you know, like Deck Chair because it can fold?
Silk screen the size?
Ben you are doing an impersonation of michael jackson !
Ben it looks great !!!!!!!
Is that the original "biltong chisel" ? 😍
The very same, well remembered!
#namethattool Foldable stand looks like a clothes peg when collapsed... how about "Crimson Ben-chpeg Stand'" or if you want something more in keeping with the video... The Crimson Guitars Verbose-Peg Stand
You could call the neck stand Peggy.
Because it’s peg-y.
#namethattool How about The Turtle collapsible neck rest or Fold-n-Go neck rest.
The skull has the look of a "Stentor" to me.
I'd call the skull Duggery
I really don't want to add to your plate but as much as you love burning stuff. The question comes to mind
Why haven't you done a sho sugi effect or style of a guitar? I'd send you of what I've done but you could do much better but this app won't let me lol
I think he has. In the "old" days when his studio was upstairs next to the office, I think he blowtorched a whole body and then oiled it. Comments insisted it would warp, crack, soot the playing arm etc, but after a light brush down it seemed to be ok.
Something that is perfect can be reproduced, you create one off pieces.
Clearly the skull under the glass was a music pirate back in the day.
"there must be a better way" (for scooping two equal parts) ...
Melon ball scooper?
What About Folding Neck Hammock
You should name your skull The Skull of Morbius like the old Dr. Who story Brain of Morbius
#namethattool Port-a-Support
Murray #skullname
The name of the skull in the pirate themed computer game series "Monkey Island", in which the skull is ignored by everyone, but thinks it's terrifying, and always says "I AM MURRAY".
#namethattool.... the NeckRomancer, or the Neck-rophiliac
Hmmm. I was thinking about names like "Elvis," or "Leo," (as in Fender) or, "Les," (as in Paul), or even Jimi, or Jerry, but I'm not sure that naming it for a real person is kosher Voodoo. So..

#namethattool - how about “The Hammock”…?
Techno-noggin
#namethattool the neck pin
#skullname Crowe Mag Non
new product name... Foldy McNeckrest!
#skullname Heidurr (it’s a Scots thing)
I once gold plated a donner kebab. True story.
New tool name. African Ethiopian Tribes use a wooden neck rest called a Kambatta as a pillow
Why not just use cake/pastry cutters?
Couldn't you have just painted the Gold Size on something like a jam jar or jam jar lid? Or any small bottle or lid really.
Glass or plastic would be fine as they are basically non-porous. Polyethylene may be best as not a lot of glues bond with it.

Easier to hold too. Perhaps even just dip and stamp - especially since you were expecting non-perfect results with the gold leaf.
Oh - and that guitar will be shedding gold leaf from the interior for the next few decades.
Should call her Tinkerbell.
😁 careful Ben, the internet claims “you don’t f#ck with cats” 😅
#skullname Benneth, Monty or Horatio.
Why isn't the child's study already an 18th century study!?
#skullname Headward.
#namethattool Looks very like a clothes peg when closed.... so Clothes Peg Stand
or maybe just "the peg?" That could work, too.
I think that anything other than Yorick is a missed opportunity. #skullname
#namethattool you could name it PICKLE CLIP =)
Name that tool.... The X peg
Loved this build. Nice one!What an absolutely cracking looking colour and a glorious flame.
Gold is a definite no though. Blingtastic. Yikes.
