Rebuilding A Kalamazoo Model Two Amp
I rebuilt this Kalamazoo Model Two amplifier for a dear friend of mine, and who is also a very talented musician, and a very hard working dad. I wanted to make sure that I made him the nicest amp rebuild I could do, since this amp is very close to his heart. He is a tree faller, and the maple I used in this video is what I got from him a few years ago, milled it up, and has been drying ever since.
It was truly a privilege to have the opportunity to be creative and build this for him.
I am thinking about making a guitar for a future video now.
I appreciate everyone of you that watches my videos.

If you have a bandsaw, you should be buying old roller blades, or cutting the wheels off of old rollerblade wheeled chairs. There are 2 bearings in each wheel that will fit a small bandsaw for the blade guide bearings. These bearings are usually $10 each when purchased. Save yourself some money.

I turned this bowl blank a few months ago waiting for it to dry out more. I hit it with the moisture meter a few days ago and it read at 8%, so it was ready to turn again. I used shine juice as the finish, and it came out very nicely. This piece was one of the odd pieces that got tossed off to the side from milling up a black walnut log. It's amazing what can be done with scrap wood.

    Why didn't you make it so that you bolted through from the other side ,then you wouldn't have to screw the bolts in so far and they would be more secure as they would be pulling the T nuts into the wood ! Other than that a really great idea 👍👍🔨🔨

    That was amazing from start to finish. I will say one thing, though; I have rarely been more worried than when you did the freehand routing in the end. However; this whole process must have taken a lot of time, and that wood would have cost a minor fortune (at least where I live) - any chance of you telling us how you price a piece like this? :) (And insta-subscribed, even though my feed is full of woodworking already) Thanks for showing us your magic, I really appreciate it. :)

    • @themarblemountaincraftsman8029

      Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind compliment! They take anywhere from 25 to 30 hours to make these. I have a bandsaw mill, so I purchase a lot of the wood as logs, and mill it up. I can get the black walnut, yellowheart, maple and black oak as logs. The exotic wood like the purple heart and the African padauk I buy. I do this as a hobby, so I don't charge full price on these, but I sell them for $400. That is just breaking even so I don't lose money making these.

    Beautiful boards Seth, well done. I have a question if you don't mind answering. What does the saw chips/cuttings do to the board by rubbing the board surfaces? You did mention polish / shine. Would this be better than a final sand?

    • @themarblemountaincraftsman8029
      @themarblemountaincraftsman8029 Рік тому

      Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind compliment. I use that technique on all of my pieces. The wood on wood rubbing (burnishing) is by far better than a final sand. What it does is create a friction between the two woods rubbing together to actually polish the wood itself. It really brings out the beauty of the natural wood grain. It takes some time and effort, but it is worth it.

    If I had not seen the video, it would have literally blown my mind, as it had when I first seen the thumbnail to the video. One thing I despise about social media these days is that everyone is out here sharing and exposing all their unique money-making secrets! Nothing belongs to the person who first came about an idea, anymore. Everyone who has access to the internet, has the potential to know everything! Nothing is a mystery anymore. No use of imagination for over half of our population. Just go to youtube and use someone elses idea and call it your own. Its sad. Sorry for my ramble. I just hate that I saw the video and now know exactly you were able to achieve this design, which to me, lowers the value.

      @@mglet3315 Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words. I understand about what you are saying about now knowing how it's made, and the exposure of social media. I really do. The part of this video that isn't shown is that it took me about 25 hours of total time to make these, and I didn't show everything/all my secrets to how I made this, just the main parts. I basically condensed 25 hours of work into a 28 minute video. I am also thinking about taking this concept (or something similar) and building a new guitar body for my Fender Stratocaster. One of my ideologies of woodworking is that it should be shared with the world. Woodworking should be a selfless act of inspiring each other to reach the highest potential possible. The techniques and craftsmanship of true woodworking are a dying art/skill, and if I can inspire someone to ignite their passion by showing how to do it, then I am beyond grateful to show how I make things.

      Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I have done a lot of steam bending in the past on other project, but it wouldn't have worked for this. The strips are so small that the water/steam and heat would have expanded the wood strips too much to fit into the cuts for them. I had them cut to a perfect fit for the slit/kerf of the sawblade. BBQ skewers would be fun to play around with and steam bend.
