    So I made one today, not off plans but from just the general idea, and it seemed pretty promising. I am making a tighter radius for my type of fiddles. So more curved than a guitar but I may have made it too small because I destroyed my wood. Should have used a test piece because I ruined a nice piece of bocote… Other than probably making it way too tight, my router sort of rocked sideways in a way that I wasn’t expecting. I’ll give it another shot but what a massive failure for my first attempt 😖

    I use a cordless drill and the magic of maths to work out roughly how many turns by weight of wire on the bobbin. I did make a jig with a counter but found it was not needed. I have a hand cranked jig my grandfather made and it works fine if a bit slow. I like your machine but I probably won't build one because I'm too lazy.

    Excellent Video! This is exactly the route i`m taking. I have many basic tools from years of DIY, which I am now using to make all the jigs etc for guitar making/repair. I came to the same conclusion that having a known straight edge ( Crimson too!) and a set of radius gauges I can produce most of the equipment needed. Thanks for a great video.👍

  • @stefano.salari
    @stefano.salari Місяць тому

    I'm sure the final result will be another gorgeous piece of art, can't wait to see it finished! Don't you think that the joint on the neck exactly all along where the truss road is placed, could weaken it considering the force impressed by the truss road itself? (this is not intended to be a critic to your work, just a simple question 😊) As I'm writing this comment I just realised that normally there's a similar joint between the neck and tie fretboard, so I believe the answer would be "no"...

    • @adairguitars
      @adairguitars Місяць тому

      Thanks! Yes, the joins crossed my mind too, but they should be okay. That’s what I like about this use what you’ve got challenge. Throw all caution to the wind and take a few risks.

    • @stefano.salari
      @stefano.salari Місяць тому

      Yes, I'm sure they will be okay. Fender built one piece necks with maple fretboard where the truss road is installed on the back of the neck, on a routed cavity that was closed by a glued wood layer (you know this better than me 😉). This surely proves that these joins are safe when they're well done.

    • @dnizy
      @dnizy Місяць тому

      The direction of the load imposed on the wood from the truss rod being bent will be almost entirely up/down. That is unlikely to open the joint (which would require significant sideways forces). To be honest I doubt its all that different to a 1-piece neck with the load in that direction.

    • @stefano.salari

    Nice i have the same type of jig to avoid tear out on fretted slots use shallow passes straight up from the heel at the high E side aross at the nut end straight back down at the low E side to the heel then across the whole board it leaves tooling marks but they are easy cleaned up the biggest thing to avoid is being tempted to have the bit flush with the center of the board when making the 1st passes tear out will happen
