- The only parts of this guitar not cut on my Thunderlaser from hollow core doors are the strings, frets and tuners!

No one: What is your preferred choice of tonewood?
Me: Closet door
hahaha
😂😂
You should play The Doors.
Or did you?
He played 'Easy like Sunday Morning' by the Commodores. But don't tell the copyright police. (Comma Doors, get it?) :)
Or something by Handle?
Red_Doggo I see what you did there 🤣
Red_Doggo 😂😂😂
Plot twist: on the day those doors were made, the factory just happened to have a big ol' pile of Honduran mahogony and sitka spruce lying around...
Geoff Bosco . I like the plot twist.the only explanation possible! Lol.
Nice work. Love the neck.
Thanks man! That's my fav part too :) I didn't realize you were still on my patreon. I'm honored. Thank you very much for the support!
pro tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Kason Damien yea, been using flixzone for since november myself =)

Tim: well that looks like the perfect material to make my first acoustic guitar from.
This so amazing. It's like making a car out of a barn. Or making a soup bowl from a medium sized rodent. Just so useful and clever and ultimately, the route to the best musical instruments. I saw Yoyo Ma plays on a cello made from a broom handle and a shoe now.
Love me some responsibly sourced medium rodent soup👌👌
Alright Sway, we get it, you have a laser!
you noticed?
Im going to make a hollow door from my old Martin D-28
hahahah!
probably the coolest guitar project you've done so far. Awesome work Tim.
thanks bro. I'm just glad it worked!
I'm with you, Greg! ... so cool
Wow !
That blew me away !
I just put a bass guitar “ kit “ together and had a blast as I’m recovering from a recent surgery ...
I loved every aspect of your build. !
Stik
Love the laminate neck. Best part of the guitar. Thanks for the idea.
Sitting at work, no customers all day. This is the rabbit hole I'm glad I climbed down. Great work, Tim!
Haha! Grab a carrot and strap in. I've been making this videos for years!
You've invented a new genre of guitar playing: ASMR Flamenco
Not many people in this world can make a nice guitar from old doors and play it as well. Very impressive, you must have the patience of a saint. Their is hope for this world after all.
thank you. I wouldn't say it's a "nice" guitar but it is a guitar and it works! :)
Wow Tim this job is amazing !!!!
Love when you play the guitar finished !!!!
It sounds pretty excellent. Very cool project. Thank you for sharing this!
I love your work. Such a beautiful craftsmanship 👍🏼👏🏼. Please keep posting more videos.
thanks! ok!
A masterpiece by a guitar making master
I love your builds, thanks for sharing
Jolly
You can design, make, & play guitars. Out of what I see (sadly) in construction dumpsters. What an oustanding talent you are! Beyond impressive.
I love this so much. Such talent and creativity. Beautiful work!
I love the way you made this guitar, this neck will never twisted .Good idea the nylon strings , with good bohnes you have a good sound ( sorry for my poor english)
Tim, I absolutely love your channel. You have inspired me in so many different ways! I love that you take reclaimed wood and make it into musical instruments
thanks man! That's my mission - to inspire others to think differently about "reclaimed."
I'm so glad that you built this guitar! I've wondered for a long time if those old mahogany closet doors could be used that way. I'm glad that I'm not the only one!
Great Job im retired now i was in the piano and antique restoratin business for 40 plus years i saved some red spruce from hundred plus year old upright pianos out of sound boards already aged and i have some walnut from a old antique bed thats older than the piano wood, and some very old mahogany too i have alot of wood working tools already now i am building specialty tools like moulds and aradius dishes bending machine and a binding machine now i cant wait to get started i have always wanted to do this but busniess would not let me i have already completed some foot drums to play with my harmonica and guitar I lost my wife of 38 years who was everything to me to cancer recentlyi know were shes at and i know were im going but i have to ocupy till then feel like this and my music will be good theropy for me. Thanks for the wonderful video !!!
The absolute BEST aspect of repurposing!!! Kudos Tim! Keep me posted on the fretless 4!
I love that neck. I have an old 12 string Framus (made in Bavaria) with a laminated neck; steel strings don't faze it.
I live in France ; got a 12 string "Framus" , back and sides made of beautiful "Zebrano " , bought it in 1968 ... the neck is made of laminated white hardwood.... However it's tone was rather poor ,obviously because the braces were about 4 times too heavy ...and the bridge was heavily screwed onto the sounboard ! I finally bought a D28 a year later ...
Another amazing job. Awesome work. Keep showing us that miracles in manufacturing ate possible.
really like the tone of the guitar. good work man
Awesome work, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant work Tim - I love you're using reclaimed materials to make your guitars - less waist of our fast declining natural sources. A huge thumbs up! 👍🙂
thank you! there is no shortage of these awful doors in the foreseeable future :)
I love the background table saw sounds throughout the first few minutes. Made me think someone complained about the shop noises whilst watching a shop video and you just did that out of spite and it made me smile. Excellent build as always Tim!
Haha! That's the cnc churning away. I like to keep some of it as I'm documenting reality, but I turn it down so it's not too deafening :]
Awesome Mr. Sway tnx for making it possible....!!!
You are a very multi talented man. While I most likely never have the equipment that you have ,I still enjoy watching you work your craft. You are also a very talented player. I have been playing for over 40 years and enjoy playing everyday,it is such a great stress reliever. I would love to be able to purchase a guitar from you for my collection,you can never have too many,lol.Maybe one day. Thank you for the content.
I enjoy innovation in music styles and handmade instruments. Your choice of materials, equipment, and score were top notch! Thoroughly enjoyed the vid, new sub!
Love that you use so much reclaimed wood!
Cheers! Lately I've been in to using locally felled wood, too. Guitars are small so sometimes you can get them out of the firewood pile :)
@@timsway Do you have a kiln? How do you get the firewood dry enough for use as guitar necks and bodies?
@@bjdenil no kiln, just patience. It usually gets close enough, especially if you partially mill it first.
I really hope to see you do more acoustics in the future. Great work.
I'm sure I will be!
thank you for this awesome work.. enjoyed every second
Tim, this is simply incredible! I had to double take at how the neck was made and I'm in love with the multi-ply build!
thanks! the neck came out better than expected :)
Amazing work Tim!
Awesome, Tim - as soon as I saw the notification I was super excited to see you tried your hand at making an acoustic guitar. Looks great, thanks for the video and all the awesome stuff you create!
hey, thank YOU!
Best song played with one of your guitars so far. Really enjoyable on a Sunday morning 😊
thanks!
Thanks much for posting this video! I’m seriously planning on getting into banjo building. I think I’ll copy a basic Tackhead. I think that you’ve proved to me that my idea of using plywood to build my first neck is good.
Wow! Excellent work! It’s a really neat idea and good inspiration!

Bravo with the hammer made out of a drumstick at 5:29
Looks like it's 70 year old. Good job and it sounds nice
Like the Vic Firth drum stick hammer. Awesome job on the acustic guitar. With the right tools you can build any guitar
I'd bet you could build one heck of a steel-slide resonator (Dobro type) guitar! The laminated neck made in the square-neck fashion for steel-slide would never warp!
Amazing that it made from hollow core doors. You know what the say when one door closes Tim's probably running off with the other door. 😆
Great video...really enjoyed your background soundtrack ! Thank you for posting !
After all these years, still one the most innovative channels on UA-cam
hey, thank you!
Such an adoorable guitar!
Yup, the lines on the neck are very nice. Quite impressed what you managed to do with three doors!!!
Three Doors (taken) Down? :)
A guitar made from The Doors? This should be public knowledge.....ill go "tell all the people".
Lol sorry for the bad pun, cool guitar.
Really amazing work. Great that you kept the finish too. Really tells the story
why sand? they're prefinished :) thank you
It was around 1969(?), I had a Framus 6-string acoustic with a similar laminated neck and it was one of the nicest guitar necks I've ever played.
someone else shared a of a gibson with a lam neck like this. It was all real wood slices, of course :)
This is the one and only time I've seen anyone make something useful out of those awful doors, (apart from a bonfire). Out of the closet and into the studio. Just wonderful!!
thanks man! I have some older vids/attempts that weren't as good but less effort. More to come!
Your an inspiration Tim, love your work and channel.
Very good and nice presentation and good information to make a guitar with anything 👍👍🤘👏🙏
Phenomenally creative project!
I bet this pun has been made before, but I can't help it. So you made something from doors to cover the doors on. What an awesome upcycling experience. Thanks for sharing, Tim!
I. Very deliberately did NOT play a Doors song just to leave room for that comment :)
Damn it Tim, you’re taken away all my excuses! I’ve been putting off my acoustic build for years because I haven’t found the right spruce for the top. Bastard. Love you man.
haha!!
This is a beautiful guitar. Truly inspiring.
You have some of the coolest ideas for builds. Loved this one!
Work that magic Mr Away,such a great counterpoint to all the shredders
I make electric cigar box guitars, love how use all kinds of crazy materials
I like how you show how you can make a guitar out of things no one would probably think of.
thanks for all the kind comments across my videos! That is my mission, to push the envelope of materials. While maybe doors aren't a perfect solution, they do work and maybe it'll encourage other makers to step away from the new, exotic and environmentally/socially harmful materials often used in instrument building.
@@timsway i,m new to guitar making. So i,m learning as i go
@@timsway i made a guitar for a friend of mine from a pice of wood would love to show you if i can send it to you
@@javanthomas4122 awesome! you can email me via newperspectivesmusic.com
Nice work! You can lower the strings by correcting the neck angle. Fender in the 70’s were bad for this and required a neck shim to correct the neck angle. By doing so don’t be surprised if you need to make a new saddle that raises the strings.
Absolutely Amazing. Fantastic craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing....
You are an artist. Simply beautiful.
Great build! And I enjoyed listening to you play with yourself. Wait...I meant the demo...
A Nylon Strung Dreadnaut made from Doors. You could get a Steel String sound by using Thomastik KR116 Strings.
Nice work. Also, love the Vic Firth mallet.
I really really really enjoyed this one. Great work.
Thank you!
My mind is blown away !!!!! There is literally nothing Tim can not do!!!!
There are a ton of things I can't do! I'm not real good at remembering people's names, I'm a terrible landscaper and plumber, my check book is usually out of balance, I stopped shaving because I cut myself every time, i have a little trouble setting up the DVD player...
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.
That’s great! Ply is underrated. You get a great sound out of it with your playing. True craft, or art, or whatever ✌️
thanks!
Nice work! I recently found a guitar like guitar in a music shop in Marrakech. I say guitar like guitar bc whoever made it shaped it like a guitar but only 4 strings, fairly shallow body, and wooden tuning pegs that come up from the bottom of the peg box like on Renaissance guitars. It's made all of plywood with a pine neck and sides. The sides are really a series of pine squares placed with grain vertical. It had various issues but I kinda fell in love with it and I'm now trying to improve it. I took the back off and planning to add some bracing, trim down the sides, add some kind of neck block (the neck was only nailed to the back, no other support!). The bridge is interesting but too far back so im going to make a secondary floating bridge that's adjustable. The maker cut (quite deep) fret slots but never added frets. I want to either fill them in or add a hard wood fingerboard and add tied on gut frets, since with a floating bridge the fret slots won't be in tune. It's painted, so idk yet how that will affect the tone. I might use brass and iron strings, or I might use the kind of handmade goat gut strings that are used on Moroccan instruments. We'll see.
Anyways your project kinda inspired me so thanks! Idk if my Moroccan guitar will sound much like a guitar but it will sound distinctive I'm sure 😊
8:58 Sweet old Stanley router.
The look, the feel the weight of old tools.
Was it your father's?
got it from a trash pile. It just recently died, finally, but I plan to rebuild it.
Fantastic to watch. The music is so superb too. Thank you
Great music and build thank you for entertaining us!!
thank you!
Cool,next time a acoustic bass with the same style neck!! I dig the neck design.
talk about up-cycling ...fantastic
I used to have a hollow wood door like that lol! Very good video and well done:) Thinking about upcyling some piano wood I have for a telecaster build I have in mind as a project for the summer. Videos like these make me very eager with anticipation!
I've made some guitars from pianos and old pump organs. Great reclaimed wood to use for new instruments
@@timsway that’s awesome!! I am glad to read that because I have seen other peoples arguments in favour of only using ‘proper’ tonewood online and as much as I understand what they mean I still think I prefer the upcycled approach more. Feels more rustic and diy. Hopefully I can do the same as you! Will be watching your channel for inspiration along the way:)
Nice job.
The laminated neck is fantastic! Very cool.
Yea it is. I already started cutting out some more :)
Once again demonstrating that one person's trash is another person's guitar. Gotta say, it sounds better than I was expecting. Thanks for sharing!
exactly! Well, my guitar, at least...
Very cool! Hollow core doors are the pallet wood of the future 😉.
Tim has made hollow core doors the pallet wood of the present.
Haha.. that's super awesome man. Glad you have this a shot. Love watching you bring your ideas to life. Rock on! 🤘
thank you!
Once again Tim...Well Done!
So you finally made it
Man, I love the music.
Great Job!
Honestly I just love these videos man. That guitar looks so cool.
thanks!
Sensational job mate.
Tim... it brings me great joy to say. I think your on to something with this one.
Great stuff. Keep it up. 👍
thanks man!
Hey Tim, you are doing what I am wanting to do. I am in the process of building a guitar the same way that you have put the closest doors together EXCEPT I wanna cut each piece out so that it can be reproduced with a 3D printer with materials like copper or aluminum and then glued together. Otherwise exactly like you are doing. My girlfriend and I freaked out when we saw this because i searched all over the internet and UA-cam a couple of months ago when i started my projects. ROCK ON BROTHER!!!!!
awesome man. I can't wait to see yours. tag me in it when it's done. for more inspiration, search for "the body snatcher" 3d printed guitar. cool concept
Quando vejo vídeos assim, sinto mais valor pela humanidade!!! Parabéns!!!
Very beautiful guitar, just love your music. Thank you for sharing your story, God bless you and your family
thank you!!
I like your channel so much that I watched the advertisements all the way through.
woah!
There's the Jumbo, the Dreadnaught, the OM, the 00, the Parlor......and now the Closet.
I lived in a 80-year-old apartment where the side exit stairs had this beautiful sounding old pine or cedar boards. I always thought they would make an awesome sounding acoustic guitar top, if you could strip out the planks and mill them. This was the least used stairwell in the building so the wood wasn't even that stressed. Just all this nice slow seasoned ancient timber sitting there…
I just made an upright bass with cedar fence boards for a carved top. Go check it out on my channel!
#482! 52,000 views, Tim? Fantastic, brother! Congratulations! My name is Glenn. I'm Dr.B's bestie. Watching your channel a long time. I'm very happy for you! Cheers :)
cheers, amigo! Dr. B is a good dude :)
