Thanks guys... great video. Much appreciated.
ty stew mac for being the best
Thanks for making great products!! Pity the saddle sander is not available anymore.
I own three of these four and couldn’t agree more! The only one I don’t have is the nut/saddle leveler. I’ve just done so many with my own technique, I could never justify the price. That is, until now. It just makes sense if you’re doing 100’s of setups to speed up the process. Stew Mac should be proud to have you guys doing this series. Your natural charisma is contagious, and you guys have already won me over!! My Facebook business page has been up for years, and I’m just over 500 likes. Anyway, keep up the fantastic work!! You guys are simply awesome!! All the best for a great 2022!!!
Hi guys, I have been checking out your videos for about a year. Love them. I have built an acoustic, an electric and now am getting much more serious on my thied build. I have a drum sander
New radius dishes. Been watching the 3,000 yr old build. Trying to aquire tools. Starting this build with my 13 yr. old grandson. You guys are the bomb. Thanks.
The router base has been in my StewMac cart for a while now. Thanks for the opportunity and laughs.
Loved the video. I have purchased and used many Stewmac tools and I have never been disappointed. My favorite tool in your video is the nut/saddle sanding tool. I currently make all my nuts and saddles using a bench sander then finishing it on a piece of granite and sandpaper followed by a fine honing stone. I am not exaggerating when I say I have sometimes spent up to 6 hours making a single nut. I am retired and thank god not trying to make money at it but there is no greater satisfaction than knowing you made it from scratch and it's perfect. Love y'alls videos. Keep'm coming.
You have rejuvenated my interest in building guitars again. That precision router base would be very welcome as I can't find my old one. Keep up the good work guys.
Tool #1 - Router Base - I am just starting to get into inlay work and was trying to decide what tools I needed, and this was one of them. I would love to have this in my toolbox. Guys, thanks to you and to StewMac for doing this.
I’d love to have ANYTHING from StewMac. I’m currently building my fourth instrument. I’m a StewMax subscriber, and order from them regularly. Their products are consistently top quality, they always deliver promptly, and their customer service people are courteous and helpful. World-class company with a friendly, family feeling!

COMMENT 🗿
All 4 are wonderful tools! Cheers to SM for supporting the community.
I'm not really an intermediate builder, just a beginner, but that router base would be an awesome addition to my tool collection. Thanks for the great video.
When I started on the path of making guitars I assumed I had all the wood working tools I would need. Now I do not blame you guys for my utter lack of knowledge and tools required to make a guitar someone would actually want, " rather than one that would find its place hanging behind a little used door " You have opened my eyes to what is necessary to make something of quality. Your channel has inspired me to make beautiful instruments. All these tools would be very welcome in my shop. Thanks for teaching us so much! How did you know all 4 tools have not found their way into my shop???
Hey Chris I am a very early subscriber. I usually make a few guitars a year and I could really use the neck relief guage.it would make my life sooooo much easier.
Just started doing repair work for a local music store. Learning everyday. Sure could use that router tool for my Dremel. Thanks guys!
Love when you guys talk tools and their uses!
I'm just getting into doing setups (currently practicing on my own stuff), recently bought that relief gauge, it just saves SO much time and gives me the confidence in my results. Might build my first guitar this year, keep up all the good work!
Trying to be the sponge and soak up all your great tips and advice!
Cheers guys!
#1 is great, I have the tilting one, no air pump and the black one with depth stop. Great tools, love them, keep up the great work.
The neck releif guage would rock here in my shop, I am now caught in the guitar building obsession since the beginning of covid, thanks for your channel it realy helps!!
I’ve been building CBG’s for a while. Just finished my first tele style (72 thinline). Your channel has given me the confidence and inspiration to go for trying my first acoustic build
Yes please. I like the router base. The system looks really handy!
My favorite part about this channel is that I would actually hang out with these guys AND they give excellent advice! Keep up the amazing work and great videos!
Agreed!!
Great job guys, tool #3 for me, working now on my second ukulele ☺️
The Neck Relief Gauge… I need that tool in my life… that would be awesome…. Thanks for all you guys do I learn a lot from you.
The router base looks like a great addition. Not only is this channel informative, but there is humor as well - okay we will call it humor. Love everything every video you've put out so far and have really learned a lot about guitar building.
I have used all of these tools in the past and they are worth their weight in gold, but I don’t personally own all of them, so thanks for the opportunity. The neck relief gauge is one of them I would love to add to the collection!
Thanks so much guys. Hope you're doing well. Happy New year!!!
#1 and #3 would help me allot.. I'm just starting my guitar building journey and could really use some good tools to help me out... I love your videos and your Guitars.. You guys are amazing and are full of good helpful information.. Thank you for the chance to get some good tools for those of us who could use all the help we can get... It is a great thing you guys do and thank you so much..
Glad you guys are showing what these stewmac tool are used for like nut and Saddle sander , I've been eyeballing the mini router base for a long time. I just started my second guitar build and could definitely use it. I'm making an L.P. and I'm finding out it's more challenging to build than the telecaster I did. Love the show too . thanks guys
Thanks guys! Great partnership with Stewmac. I’d love to own the nut and saddle tool. I do repair work for my dad and a few friends. Making and fitting a bone nut can be so frustrating.
The Nut & Saddle sander tool looks amazing. I am currently building my 4th guitar for one of my grandsons and getting the nut just right has been a challenge. Thank you for your great videos, I watch every episode.
I’m so glad to that I wasn’t the only person who saw the nut/saddle jig as the coolest hot wheels car ever!
Love the scissor jack. It would help my repair time. Thanks for showing these tools, like them all.
I love all the tips you guys give when describing the tools and how they function. It's good to know why the better quality tools are more expensive. The nut and saddle sander look pretty fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Also throwing in my hat for #2! You sold me on the Relief gauge. You can tell our stewmac overlords they’ve directly benefited from your vids. Since if I don’t win, I’ll be saving up for one of these.
I’m building my jigs for my first Ukulele build. I would love the nut and sadle tool. Thanks again for your youtube channel !
I have returned to building guitars as my retirement job after a 40 year break working in another field. I completed a 00 that I am very happy with and I have a dreadnaught and an OM in the works now. I would love to have that nut sander.
I almost bought the router base recently. I was doing inlay on a fretboard for a banjo neck I am making for my brother. Decided I just couldn't justify the expense, especially converted into Canadian dollars. So I made do with the plastic Dremel router base which is not exactly 100% flat. It turned out okay and on the positive side I got confirmation my lungs are still working well in short, rapid puffs. The Stew Mac router base would make future projects easier. Thank you for giving people the opportunity to access these tools.
I have everything except the jack. That's cool! I didn't know I needed one but that would be handy on my guitar repairs. The router base, I bought mine back in the 1900's from Stew Mac. No really, 1999 to be exact, and the thing still works like a charm! Good show fellas. Good show.
Chris, Matt, I love your channel, your humor, and just your plain openness about any guitar making and repair topic you talk about. I am building guitars and ukuleles with a couple of friends, and we have all learned lots from you. I would love to have either the Jack, or the saddle and nut guide--though I could use the neck relief gage as well! I bought the router base last year and it was money well spent--I use it all the time. Hope you guys are doing well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I see in my dreams the Nut and Saddle Sander!! Love your work and attitude. Both of you.
Greetings from Greece.
Tool 1-2-3-4 would all be good .
Thanks for all your previous teaching
I am in the midst of building a 14-string (7 doubles) guitar and, I got to say, your videos have been a great help. The neck relief gauge (tool #2) would be a great asset for setting the neck relief on this beast and also on the matching 12-string that's next on the bench, and the two 12's I currently own.
Love the videos guys! As others have commented, your humour and candour make for a genuine feeling viewing experience and I really like that. I'd love the router base! Keep up the great work!
Excellent video guys! I really like the Neck Relief Gauge.
Love the StewMac tools and have collected quite a few over the past few years. Awesome to see that they are working with you guys. #3 would be a great addition to my toolbox - after making a couple dozen+ nuts and saddles, this tool would definitely up my nut and saddle game with speed and accuracy that is difficult to achieve when doing them by hand.
Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
I just started working for a local luthier and one of the first things he taught me to do was to file a nut. No special tools. That nut and saddle sander would be a great tool for a beginner. Thanks for all the tips.
StewMac Rules!! I have invested in many never any regrets. Very cool what Stewy&Driftwood are doing for the community. I would LOVE to finally own the neck relief gauge!! Cheers😎
Very nice of you guys...thank you. So, far all my builds have had dots for fret inlays. Really would like to try my hand at cool fretboard inlays using the router base.
Minus the tools you guys have gotten me started moving forward with building guitars again thank you
Once again, as an intermediate tech, I learned something from your video. Any of the last three tools would help greatly with smaller repairs and set ups. Thanks for your efforts.
I’ve built one electric already and have two more on the go already, and the precision router base would be super useful! I love what you guys are doing here on the channel. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hey guys, so happy yall are creating more content. Been a huge fan for awhile. I plan on starting to build guitars next year when I buy a house that has room for a shop. I would like the router base kit as it would let me start working on my inlay work now instead of waiting a year! I think inlay work in about all I can manage at the moment with the space that I have.
No matter what, cant wait for some more 3000 year guitar build videos!
Tool number 1. The precision router base is on my list. Love the content guys. Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys...love the tips and tools video's...Happy New Year...
Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get serious about building and would love to have the nut and saddle sander. Thanks for your consideration!
I’d get good use out of the neck relief gauge. I’m on builds #9 and #10 right now, which puts me right in the heart of “intermediate!” Thanks for all the wisdom you guys share on the UA-cams!
Great video - StewMac is awesome. The Neck Relief Gauge would be a great addition to my tool collection.
The precision router base is also an awesome tool I could really use, thanks again!

Nut and saddle sander! I've wanted that tool for a long time now 👍great video!
Great video guys, thank you! I have been doing repair and setup work as a side hustle recently and could find a use for all of those tools, but the nut and saddle tool would really come in handy.
I work for a local music store in Virginia and that relief guage would be a big time saver. Appreciate the content fellas 😀
I would love tool #1! Thanks for all the great content, I'm excited about the things you guys have coming down the pipeline!
That router base for sure!! thanks for the vids guys!
I already have the core of #1--what a great tool. I would like to throw my handle in the ring for #3-- saddle and nut jig. I've been watching for a couple of months now and have enjoy every video I've watched. Thanks for sharing your know-how.
dooh--somehow I always invoke strike-through
Chris/Matt I really enjoy your videos. Working on guitars 5 and 6 getting better every one I build.. The neck relief gauge would certainly get used.
#2 the neck relief gauge. That is extremely useful for the builder and the hobbyist.
Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get serious about building and would love to have the router base set. Thanks for your consideration!
Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get serious about building and would love to have the scissor jack. Thanks for your consideration!
Tool #2 for me! Would love to be able to get such precise relief! Thanks fellas!
Your channel is one of my favorites! Always full of good information and enjoyable to watch. I've been using the cheap Dremel base attachments and have always wanted the StewMac one. Would make life so much easier.
Awesome video! After watching I could really use a neck relief gauge, thanks again!
Gald you ate back. Love this information. Good tools are so important to a good job. Look forward to more videos. Thanks.
Great vid guys, love what you're doing. I'd love the Precision Router Base in my shop.

Hi Chris and Matt, # 4 tool is what i need, i am new to working on guitars, love your show, Ben
Loved this video, great job fellas! (And yes, I could really use that sweet router base!)
Hi Chris and Matt, thanks for the channel. I have recently been venturing into collecting tools. i have my eye on the Neck Relief Gauge as I am working on building my own necks
I could use them all, you seem to always show the tools in my wish list!
I could use all of these...they so cool. Love the channel.
I work for a shop here in st Charles Missouri, ironically named driftwood music. We have one of the neck relief gauges and I love it. I also build guitars out of my home shop and would love the neck relief gauge for my own work!! Love your guys’ content!
Great stuff! That scissor jack rocks!
The precision router would be AWESOME! Thank you for the great content!
This is a great tool( router base ) could use it for sure! Great explanation of the tools!
Thanks for this honest review of a bunch of really cool tools! (I only previously knew one of them existed!)
I would love to have a Precision Router Base, as I'm planning to get into doing inlays on my next couple builds.
Man, I could really use that scissor jack in repairing a guitar with loose braces right now. Love it. Great videos.
Happy New Year! I enjoy all of your videos. I could use the neck relief tool. I’m doing a lot of setups and this would be great. I’m looking forward to Matt getting back into the amp build. Take care!
The precision router base would be an awesome help for me, being a new builder. I am currently borrowing all the routing equipment for my current build and this would really help me out in developing as a builder! Thanks guys, love your channel!
Wow, what a great gear collection. I'm moving from the relatively simple solidbodies to semi and later full acoustic guitars and these would give me a tremendous start. I'll add them to my gear lust list.
Enjoyed the video as always gents. Happy New Year.
I could use the the nut and saddle sander. Thanks for the intro to the tools. Always good to to see what I should spend my money on next.
Not a builder myself just a beginner/intermediate player who loves to do my own set ups and upgrades to my own guitars. The nut/ saddle sander would be nice for changing all my guitars to bone nuts/saddles. Hope to see your channel grow this year you guys definitely deserve it
Tool #3 nut and saddle sander looks awesome as well for making nuts ! I’d love to get my hands on one
I appreciate all the information you guys put. The neck relief gage would be great.
Tool numero tres: The nut and saddle sander. Have never heard of this tool before, but this is now on my “got-to-have” list.
Love your channel guys! I'm just getting into guitar building. I would love the Precision Router Base and all the goodies that go with it. It's such a versatile tool that is useful in so many of the steps of the building process.
Scissor jack, I could put it to use. Thanks for doing this guys. I love all your videos.
Whoa I would watch you rate every single item in the stewmac catalogue. I loved this!
I really would enjoy the Neck Relief Gauge. Nice selection of tools guys!
I really like the Precision Router Base Set. I can see a lot of amazing options for it, whether performing guitar build or pretty much any sort of woodworking. I've been getting back into woodworking since the beginning of the pandemic and I could seriously find a lot of uses for this.
SM also makes that router base in a tilting version
