I was taught , as an amateur, to mark the top of the fret with a pen so you can see when you reach a “perfect” crown . This is a very enjoyable video series and one can appreciate Mr S.s many craftsman gifts . Leave it to Joyce , though, to clean up and organize the place!
Looking forward to watching this a little later today.... And to hearing this guitar. So now I've watched it. It's looking great, and yes, the fun of fret work. It's looking good, and I still can't wait to hear the guitar play. Beautiful work.
Yikes! Jeremy didn't already do enough damage when he put a crater through the guitar. Now he also decided to drop it and knock everything over in his path! Cause why not destroy everything you worked so hard to create?! 😉😂 We all have days or even weeks like that!
How long would it take for the wood to be in storage? Say after cutting down the tree through various stages and finally ready to start a build? I guessing it differs or depends on the tree- ie wood type?
In normal woodworking, you usually figure a year of stickered air drying (ends sealed) for every inch of thickness. Possibly more for guitars and where the average humidity is higher? That’s before any kiln drying.
Bummer, I have a suggestion if that is the case, put in an additional sound hole there. I build guitars and a friend of mine pits decorative sound hole in that area of the side. He puts a pattern similar to a Doily crochet. That might limit the amount of wood there.
Because Steve measured the bridge relative to the 12th fret. The saddle and 12th fret are equidistant. If he follows the rule the 12th fret will be an exact octave from the open string. Science!
@@michellowe8627 I understand the math, but only dry fitting and measuring would still fall short in accuracy for the correct position of the saddle for intonation. Mount the neck, mount the bridge. String it and set intonation, then cut saddle slot.
Joyce rocks!!!
Nice!Thanks for the video....
how he drills straight down for the end pins I'll never understand, mine would certainly be hella crooked....it's easy to f this stuff up.

Getting down to the wire... I'm sure it will be a awesome sounding and playing guitar 👍

Jeremy the guitar breaker almost 😱 It looks stunning though
Cool. Coming along. Interested in knowing why titebond vs hide glue?
very interesting and nicely done series. A question: how many layers of laquer did Steve put on? Thanks!
Getting close now. Lookin good! Did You or Steve sand the bottom of the bridge to the contour of the top?

Jeremy, what humidity level are you working with? I know it's wetter than Montana.

What is the deal with the chunk of wood on the side upper bout? I don't think it looks good.
Go back a few episodes. I sanded through the side and this was our solution

how in the world will the intonation be correct if you bond the bridge and saddle before setting the neck?
Because Steve measured the bridge relative to the 12th fret. The saddle and 12th fret are equidistant. If he follows the rule the 12th fret will be an exact octave from the open string. Science!

Why fret closer then the other
They all are. No equal spaces. Wtf
😂 will it survive the build thats the real question, ooooops not again... don't drop that box bro ✊
For real!
Can’t lie, don’t like the bridge material……
