You a guitar genius Jerry and an ace at fixing a dead Dremell. I love the country music you play as im a big fan of the late Hank Williams and you sing Hanks songs beautifully,
The more I look at the back of this guitar, the more I approve of your choice of grain alignment. Your choice was my choice, because initially I thought it more elegant. Now I see the grain as radiant beams of light. Love it more and more!
What I like so much about these videos is that Jerry also shows his mistakes. People who are confident in what they are doing have no problem with that, because they know that in the end they will succeed. I have no doubt there will be a beautiful guitar at the end of this series. Can’t wait for the next episode!
I tried yelling at my computer to ask about binding but you weren't listening! Then you pulled the glued neck out thinking about it. A written planning guideline is in order. Sequence of events!
I once worked at Skill Power Tools so I was cheering you on! Anything can go wrong! Switches are common. Cords sometimes if they get used and bent a lot. You saved it!! Great side project!
Jerry I so much enjoy your build videos....come to think of it I enjoy your repair and shop talk videos too. I've been hooked for a long time. Thank you
Hey Gerry, Love your videos. This one's my favorite - I'm watching it for the 2nd time. I played in a fairly successful Band for 3 years. Quit & went to school. I can tell you, or you perhaps already know that Bands have more cords and wires than a head has hairs. We Played a tour of arenas with a leased P/A and what that poor guy had to hook up!!!! He's Definitely in Heaven.
Caleb tuning that guitar as you were wrapping the innertube over the guitar top made me laugh! You pulled the tube tight across, and in the background I hear "bwaaaaaaannnnggg". Classic.
I too just had a recent "bad cord" issue...with a simple solder fume sucking fan! Cheap Chinese product but easily fixable! DID purchase a new fan/motor first, which, of course I don't need now! Also replaced the AC ON switch at the same time. NOt expected, but cheap enough fix and got solder sucking fan for 1/2 price or so of name brand equivalent! YES, should have checked cord first! You live, you (sometimes) learn! LOVE watching you work!
You are a great teacher, if my Dremel stops working I will check the voltage at the plug and at the contacts on the Dremel first before much disassembly. Great job on the guitar so far. Keep the video instruction going.
I watched many Videos of yours. I have to say thank you for all the things I learned from you. The reasons are three: Jou are a very good craftsma who also Shows what mistakes are happening. Jou are explaining what you do and what you think. You do that in a speech I can understand easyly. I am from Germany. (Your joung college I do not understand it sees to me washed out slang he is speaking)
Hi, Jerry, I was watching this and my wife came into the room at the section where you ‘forgot’ the interior back strips before ‘closing up the box’, also the neck getting glued in before you bound the neck (and drilled the headstock for the tuners?) - ‘Why doesn’t he set up a check list?’ quoth she. So, as our ‘good ladies’, as we know, know everything (🤣😂🤣😂🤪), it seemed only fair that I should pass this ‘nugget’ on. 👍😬
I can't help but crack up everytime you unravel a mystery and sometimes you start with complex and go to simple and I laugh because yes, sometimes it's the plug or the retaining screw or something incredibly simple that I had overlooked. "It can't be that simple" I have said many times. Eddie Van Halen joke is funny.
The best way to test a open line cord is to measure the continuity on each wire from plug to each wire end. A Low voltage measured on AC voltage can give a inductive reading of low ac voltage through a small break in a wire. That is a clue the wire is defective
It's coming on really nice Jerry. So you don't forget the odd step here and there how about making a timeline checklist so each step can be ticked off in sequence? Maybe it would be more work than you save but it would be interesting to see! Great work setting in the neck, that's a real skill getting it right in 4 dimensions - length, up & down, side to side, and twist! Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful instrument. When you mentioned putting cleats over the decorative strips on the back I looked at my $150 Korean Carlos Mark 32 with a back like that (binding between three piece back) and it indeed has the same. I am just amazed at it sometimes.
Check the each wire from the plug to the other end of the cord. I found the wires break in the rubber side that's where mine breaks. Thanks and stay safe my friend.
If I win the Georgia Lottery I'll be calling ya Jerry for one of your Beautiful Guitar & Mandolin. I'm crossing my fingers and toes winning the lottery.When I take something apart when I try to put things back together I always have parts left over
I understand how you can sometimes do things a little out of step. For example, usually to back a car out of the garage, you (1) open the garage door, then (2) back the car out . Years ago, I did the 2nd step first. Wasn't a pretty sight. :)
I've never seen a cord do that before, usually they either work or they don't, mysterious voltage reading that cord will puzzle me the rest of the day lol great work on both the guitar and the cord!
To save you puzzling any further...I d say with all the bending the wire inside the tube of the chord has snapped but a small inconsistent amount of current was jumping across the break. Of course I'm not 100% certain that's what's happened but the theory is fairly sound.
An AC line cord that is bent and twisted as much a Jerry uses it for years will eventually break the internal wire conductors even though they are flexible when new.
I’m glad you’re watching Jerry’s videos Randy, you both are very entertaining to me And I enjoy your videos immensely. Randy, I would sure love to see some new videos from you brother you are such a great entertainer! I love you both and keep up the great work! Point
Wow Jerry. I was cringing when you were demonstrating the fault in the Dremel lead. Just one touch and we would have seen you lose your composure pretty quickly! 😂
Loved the segment on fixing the Dremel. Now, Jerry, you charge $100 per hour for your labour. How many Dremels could you have bought for the time you spent fixing the old one? :)
@@afishcalledminnewawa Can't have such thin wood meet at an edge joint. How else could the edge be finished. The binding prevents the edge from getting mashed
When a wire breaks in a two line cord and a false ac voltage is measured at the end of that cord it is an inductive small voltage and if the output ac voltage is not the same as the input, it's a defective power cord. After many twist and bends power cords wires do break internally.
My heart just stops when you freehand a router on a beautiful box like this. If you've never used a router you might not realize all the ways that can go very badly.
Hey Jerry, I honestly love how this guitar is coming along. Every single time you tap on the guitar, it just rings like as you a said a metallic bell. Just curious as to why you decided to switch to using wood for the side supports compared to cloth like you did on the other two guitar builds. P.S. I also liked how you changed the plug point on your dremel tool in order for you to use that dremel tool for a long time.
I'd suggest moving the outlet under the bench over a foot or two if you're able. What's probably happened is that your belly is hitting the plug and bending the cord.
You test the bare wire, before you hook to the unit. You are reading the pass through current? Sounds like dust in the switch or speed controller insulating instead of passing current.
Jerry, just a thought. Why don’t u use a template and a flush trim bearing router bit for the dovetail? Makes life easy and is much safer than free handing it with a router
Drexel will repair them if you send it to them. You can call their customer service. I do wood carving and the cheap ones quit after a short time of service. It really is hard to beat a Drexel. Be careful with the flex drive because I broke mine and they are expensive to replace.
During the 31-32 minutes, you apply glue before putting on the top, but you don't spread it evenly with a brush or anything. It seems as if you just start securing the top down. Was the spreading of the glue edited out or something?
What is the purpose of the lip on the inside of the form? May I suggest cutting out the lip so that your sides can protrude through the form from the top and the bottom. I use 3/8' thick blocks and place them on the work surface at each corner of the form, then push the top down to the work surface through the form which levels off your piece and then clamp your sides. Much easier to remove and replace and insures you are maintaining accuracy.
Speaking of forgetting......please don't forget to seal the paduch before the binding job. Remember how that maple(?) stained? (tho IIRC it was a finishing thing....still 'n all) Just sayin' ;)
I'm happy to see you have that same mentality as I have when it comes to broken stuff: if you have the idea something could be repaired you will have a go at it like with the Dremel. I hate that throwaway culture...

I'm still convinced you're making this guitar for me as a surprise. Well, a fella can dream.....
I didn't realise watching someone fix their Dremel could be so relaxing.
Jerry you are a master of all trades, you even fixed the Dremel!
The Dremel edition LOL. Looking beautiful and OMG that sound.
In that Emeri and Grace song I swear I can hear the late,great Renee. Beautiful voice.
Great video Jerry I enjoyed the bonus footage how to repair your Dremel 🙂
Love and great as usual MR. Rosa. I’m in awe of your craftsmanship.
Another show of l uthier skills from the vast experience you have Jerry, can't wait to hear it play, cheers Jerry.

I like watching people and how they achieve the same goal but do it totally different. Nice looking guitar
looking great. cant wait for the next episode..
Another great experience and you got me, large intake of breath to hold for routing and wollop! To be continued. 😂Respect and stay healthy all.
Thanks Jerry for the entertainment and education.
Beer, Gerry building something beautifull, learning another aspect of woodworking (40 years in here) this is my perfect Friday night!
Same here, except with a glass of bourbon. Cheers!

I watched a few ads for you today (did not "skip ad"), based on a comment you made on one of your recent videos.
You are right my friend I found my gold in Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood in February.. It made Iraq seem like a warm vacation place
Another Beautiful Instrument
Great Job and nice Dremel fix
TFS Enjoyed!

Hi Jerry;
Looks beautiful and sounds beautiful so far. Can't wait to see the rest of the build and the finished product.
Nice video Jerry!! Thank you Sir!!
Thanks for the tip on the c- clamps!

It's looking good Jerry!
Mr. Jerry hey buddy. May i say it is good being you... May not be easy. But in the end you get to where you need to be at.

This Girl singing has Beautiful pipes
She would be great doing a duet with Jewel
Jerry, I think that the arm on your circle cutting jig isn't parallel to the support, which is giving you the difficulties you described.
I've never seen a cord do that before, usually they either work or they don't, mysterious voltage reading that cord will puzzle me the rest of the day lol great work on both the guitar and the cord!

Multi-strand cable with several strands broken?
Repairs - Keep It Simple Sir... 😉 I like that paduk 👍
I think this will be the first Dreadnaught flattop guitar with a curved back Ive ever seen
Right on a nice clifhanger Will Jerry succeed to route out his binding CHannel ? Let's meet again the next RSW episode !
Wow Jerry. I was cringing when you were demonstrating the fault in the Dremel lead. Just one touch and we would have seen you lose your composure pretty quickly! 😂
Incredible...you even fixed the dang Dremel tool! You should have put some frets and strings on it to see how it sounds :¬)
Loved the segment on fixing the Dremel. Now, Jerry, you charge $100 per hour for your labour. How many Dremels could you have bought for the time you spent fixing the old one? :)
Loved it! Thanks Jerry!
Maybe this is a dumb question; does binding serve a purpose beyond aesthetic? Like, does it strengthen the edge?
Yes
thanks for asking, I've never considered this
@@afishcalledminnewawa
Can't have such thin wood meet at an edge joint. How else could the edge be finished.
The binding prevents the edge from getting mashed
@@tommypetraglia4688 people do make them without binding...

Leaving me in suspense....
Did you test the plug rather than the length of wire? Two plug wires bad? Was this yellow plug end a cord off something you also flexed a lot?
Just curious how long it takes to make a Rosa guitar? Or How many hours?
My heart just stops when you freehand a router on a beautiful box like this. If you've never used a router you might not realize all the ways that can go very badly.
You really know how to set up a cliffhanger! You are evil! :-D
Cut three inches off the Dremel end and test the voltage. It'll be 120.
Nice Work!!

There are 6 outlets along the edge of the bench I just happened to choose that one
You test the bare wire, before you hook to the unit. You are reading the pass through current? Sounds like dust in the switch or speed controller insulating instead of passing current.
Hi Jerry,just wondering,how long does it take to make one of your guitars..
Jerry, just a thought. Why don’t u use a template and a flush trim bearing router bit for the dovetail?
Makes life easy and is much safer than free handing it with a router
I have done that. Its simpler for me to just free hand it.
12:45 ta-daaaah!
on the dremmel .. clean the comutator with a pencil eracer and install new brushes.
In the UK we call the G clamps...do they look like a C or a G who knows! I love the neck jerry its beautiful
You should watch that guy Rosa he has some good ideas.... 🤣🤣
For the Proxxon I use a MICROMOT Flexishaft 110/BF
I'm sure there is a flexible extention for a dremel as well. No kables in the way!
Love that Padauk..
It's the law of the oddballs. I usually end up with oddball cars that are hard to get parts for.
that little hangy down on the glue bottle bothers me. It's in the way! Anyway Jerry....Love this one. what a good sound! say hi to the Caleb-meister

The way I clamped things with the rubber band would push the side straight on through if the lip was not there
You do flex the cord a lot, but do you have a bad plug???
Yeah, Dremel tools are God's gift to woodworkers, but they can be temperamental. Go have a beer!
Jerry doesn’t drink. How about “Go have a lemonade!”
Speaking of forgetting......please don't forget to seal the paduch before the binding job. Remember how that maple(?) stained? (tho IIRC it was a finishing thing....still 'n all)
Just sayin' ;)
Respectful question I have with every build: If 80% of the sound comes from the front of the guitar, why is the front spruce instead of padauk?
Softwoods have a more mellow tone and they are very loud
@@RosaStringWorks Thanks for the reply!
Do you put any type of finish on the inside before closing it up?
Love the reference to juice. I use it myself.....hillbillies
can't find part two help thank you
Is there nothing you can't fix?? 👍😎
Looks like a Eddie Van Halen guitar with all those straps on there.
Same!! 😂😂
Cliffhanger!
Long Rubber Strap!! Wheeyy heyyy!!! =)
Jerry, you need a battery operated dremel tool. Regards, Edgar
Had one. they aren't powerful enough to suit me.
All I can say is I sure wish that was my guitar!
You could make an order of operations check list :-)
True... except that each instrument is one of a kind.
I'm happy to see you have that same mentality as I have when it comes to broken stuff: if you have the idea something could be repaired you will have a go at it like with the Dremel. I hate that throwaway culture...
Oh!! And the poor Guy was ALWAYS soldering!!!
Looks like something got put in out of order, in regards to video editing. still a great job as always.
