    I am a guitar builder (and now teacher) from Ireland, but currently based in the South of England working with Crimson Guitars. I am a teacher and a luthier and I am currently loving my job and the direction my life is going. My guitars are built by hand, from the heart and with love in every shaving.

    Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for checking out my video, but I have a small favour to ask.

    Hi, I'd had someone cut out the shape of a purpleheart guitar stand a while back, intending to do the finishing work myself. It's somewhat similar to the stands worked on here, with the addition of some decorative cut-throughs at the top. Not a woodworker myself, I'm wondering what would be good tools to clean up the cut-throughs so it looks finished. I tried getting into those spots with a hand rasp, but you know how tough purpleheart is. All those outer edges are still unfinished as well, so it's still a ways until this project is a wrap. Thanks!

    Buenas. Podria alguien decirme las medidas? Ya que en el video no salen, me interesa este proyecto

    Great idea to make a video. So much more goes into these projects than people think. They're a great price when you consider the material cost, and your impeccably high standards.

      Thanks, I'm glad you think so! Most people don't think too hard about the behind the scenes work, but it's always a lot more than you think, I find.
      I hope you're still liking the guitar!

    Great as usual Sean. Very nice. I've wondered how you went about making these. I love the attention to detail you bring to everything you do. You are a credit to our craft.

      Thank you very much! They're a process, and one that's always changing. This way is working for me for now though!

    Beautiful job. I honestly wouldn’t trust the biscuit joint. Dowels or dominos would be more appropriate to stand the test of time.Again a beautiful piece.

    • @AwenLutherieCustomGuitars

      I understand the hesitation, but so far I haven't had a single problem with the joint. I always make sure the bare joint is good though, even if it is an endgrain joint.
      I have had 1 or 2 break around that area in the years I've been making these stands, but the break has always been in the wood beside the joint amazingly. And they have only broken after something heavy falls on them or something like that.

    Heat brings out the purple much more quickly and efficiently than Time does. I usually hit my Purple Heart with a blowtorch before I start sanding

    • @AwenLutherieCustomGuitars
      @AwenLutherieCustomGuitars  2 роки тому +1

      I did hear that, alright. I gave it a go myself on some scrap, but I wasn't as happy with the result. I felt the torch made the colour a little blotchy and inconsistent. After about 3 days, the stands are a beautiful mulberry purple and I'm very happy!

    I got a purpleheart fretboard/rosewood neck from warmoth, with golden copper alloy frets. Looks absolutely beautiful.

    I have a guitar stand on my list of things to build, thanks for the inspiration. These would make a great Christmas present, especially with that wood choice!

      No problem, I hope you figure something out! It may take some trial and error though. Getting the shape just right to hold things at the right angle took a few goes.

    They look increadible! Could the real leather be replaced by any other material?
    I would like to make one for a vegan friend and real leather would not be ideal for him

      Thank you!
      I've been wanting to look into a vegan alternative actually, but it's tougher than you'd think without looking at plastics, which I'd like to avoid.
