Your video's are really great. Thanks so much for sharing!
thanks for the video! I am building my first guitar and have really enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing. This is very helpfull.
gracias Maestro .aunque no sea en español se entiende y de verdad que se aprendre mucho con usted .suerte
Thanks so much for your videos.
You are welcome,
Just in case you are interested I have a complete guitar making video course that you can find on www.onlineguitarmakingcourse.com
Thank you.
Muchas gracias
Super tutorial. That jig is a project all in itself though. I haven’t decided if I’m going to go this route or try it by hand first. I’m building my first archtop and I’m currently on the bindings for the f-holes and then gluing the bracing on for the top. Then I will be ready to tackle the sides.
Great, thanks, what's the name of that kind of clock?
Pablo me interesaría construirme un doblador similar al tuyo. Desconozco que tipo de resistencia eléctrica utilizas, de cuántos ohmios es y cómo la controlas. Te agradecería mayor información. Un saludo.
This video is great and your side bender is amazing!
Would you mind sharing plans (happy to purchase) or share some pics so I can try to replicate on my own? Muchas gracias!!!
Hi George,
I am currently working on a video that will be available to purchase soon where I show how to make it and it comes together with plans and all the relevant info you will need to make your own.
As soon as it is available I will advertise it on UA-cam.
In the meantime please have a look at a course I also have available just in case it is of your interest, you can find it on www.onlineguitarmakingcourse.com
Hola Pablo como estás? Te agradezco mucho tus enseñanzas como siempre, te hago una consulta? Se puede doblar con esta máquina las cenefas? Tenés algún vídeo sobre el doblado de cenefas? Muchas gracias un abrazo desde la Argentina
Hola Fernando, si, con este útil puedes doblar todo los aros y las cenefas.
Tengo un vídeo sobre este dobla aros en el que doblo las cenefas. Échale un vistazo a ver si te sirve.

Hi Pablo-what temperature do you use for bending and how long do you leave it in the mold? I have problems with too much spring back, so I need some advice please as to whether its the temperature and time that may course the problem of spring back. I use your design mold to bend the sides. Thanks Paul
Hi Paul.
I wouldn't be able to tell you the temperature, as I don't use a thermometer.I bring the temperature up to the point in which it is too hot to touch, and then I form the shape. I keep it in for a couple of minutes max. You need to keep trying until you find what works for you.
However, It is normal to have quite a bit of spring back, in ciphers and maple more than in rosewood. you can extend the time of bending but be careful as ciphers and maple can burn and it will come out black. Rosewood can take more heat, but it can also burn.
Often it is necessary to finalise the shape by hand with a bending iron.
if you send me your email I can send you a picture with the sides as they come out of the bending jig so that you can see the kind of spring back I get and that might give you an idea of what you need to do.
Best wishes
Pablo
Hola Pablo muchas gracias por tus enseñanzas! Te pregunto? La chapa es de acero inoxidable? Y de que espesor sería? Muchas gracias
Si, es acero inoxidable de 0.3 mm
Congratulations for the video and for the work! Please can you tell me how many watts is the silicon heat blanket? Many thanks.
Hi Elena, I think the heating blanket is 680W, you can find it in this link

You can also find the spring steel on the same website, here is the link

@@redkitekk Hi Pablo, thank you very much. It was very useful for me to know where to find them on the market. Thanks again and congratulations for your videos which are really helpful.
Buenos días, me harías el favor de informarme donde puedo comprar la manta o faja para calentar los aros en la dobladora. Te lo agradesco, gracias
Hola, La puedes comprar en Rall guitars, este es su enlace
shop.rall-online.net/epages/61511639.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61511639/Products/19170014
please reply
8:33 what is the device name for heat?
What is the thickness of sides when you start the bending
Hi, does having the silicone blanket at the bottom make the side bending slightly larger? I thought you would want the wood to be first in the layer, closest to the jig. Cheers.
Jonathan Croft my jig is made so that blanket goes under the wood. The shape of the bending jig is 5 mm smaller than the true outline of the guitar, that way the sides have the right size, but that’s just the way it works for me. I can’t see no reason why the blanket shouldn’t be on top, but you would have to have that in mind when you make your jig.
PabloRequena Hi Pablo, thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I’m building a new jig this weekend so I might consider that method. Thanks!
Hola Pablo. gracias por tus vídeos. ¿Crees que es buena idea construir un molde con un 20% mas de curva en la cintura y lobulos para evitar el efecto rebote de los aros? digo 20 pues hay un estudio interesante de Matias Wandel al respecto.
Hola Oscar,
No es mala idea, el problema es que los aros nunca salen perfectos y necesitan un poco de ajuste a mano. Yo hice mi primer molde con más curva, y nunca conseguí que los aros salieran listos para usar. Inténtalo a ver si te va bien.
Gracias Pablo. yo tengo una dobladora casera tambien y va de lujo. seguí los planos de georgia luthier suply. tengo una manta con termostato de china que la programo a 140 grados como recomiendan por ahí. si no lo tienes lo puedes encargar por separado en ali express. Lo del timer es buena idea. me haré con uno. ahora voy a ensanchar la dobladora para hacer 2 aros cada vez. hasta pronto.
hola me he construido una dobladora como las suyas, pero aun no la he estrenado tengo la manta con temostato, una vez la manta caliente a 140º tengo que esperar un tiempo antes de comenzar a doblar o empiezo poco a poco????
рекомендую использовать в два раза более широкий греющий мат и нержавеющие полоски - одновременно можно гнуть сразу две половины обечайки - они получатся идентичными по форме
Hola pablo me he fabricado una maquina como la tuya para doblar los aros, pero no hablo muy bien ingles y no logro entender a cuantos grados hay que calentar la manta termica y cuanto tiempo a de estar calentando, si pudieras responderme te lo agradeceria mucho
Hola Cristobal,
Yo no uso un termómetro, yo la enchufo, y cuando esta demasiado caliente para tocarla empiezo doblar, una vez doblado la mantengo encendida un minuto mas o menos y luego la apago. Una vez este completamente fría saco la madera del molde. Ya se que no es muy preciso, pero a mi me funciona bien,
Suerte,
Pablo
Muchas gracias por contestar Pablo un saludo
My friend, Pablo Requena, could you send me project or plans Of your wood bend machine? I'll try make myself Wood bend machine . I'll pay for the plans. Thank you só much!😀😀
hola, creo que usted habla español ya que cuando dice las palabras en español las dice bien pronunciadas, quiero preguntarle, ¿Cómo se llama el reloj que usó cuando lo conectó al calentador de silicona, es que me llamo la atención que tiene conectores y no había visto uno así?
ellobosolitario19 es un interruptor de reloj, timer switch, lo compre en Amazon y es muy fácil de conectar, es muy útil para asegurarse de que no se olvide uno de desconectarlo.
@@redkitekk muchas gracias, excelente su canal
Do you have any tips for bending ebony sides? I have a set of Gaboon Ebony and I have been too nervous to try to bend it.
Just a couple of things, make sure the ebony has been drying for at least a couple of years and also I would thin the sides down to about 1,7 or 1,6 mm before bending.
@@redkitekk Thanks for the quick response. That Ebony guitar you demo’ed in the tapered tail inlay made me drool. Now I’m going to have to go for it. Just wet it and tinfoil wrap after thinning, like you show in this video? Your videos are astounding. Your a true artisan.
@@elmerfairbank5946 thank you, I am very pleased you find my videos helpful. You might want to check out a complete course I have available on www.onlineguitarmakingcourse.com
What gauge is your metal sheet? Is that a stainless?
The metal slats are 0.5mm thick and they are spring steel.
Buongiorno Pablo, potresti indicarmi dove comprare la fascia riscaldante per piegare le fasce. Hai un link?
Grazie

@@redkitekk grazie 🙏
How can i get this wood mold?
Albanito Asevedo this one in the video is one that I made myself. In LMI they sell a similar one.
what are the specs for the metal sheets ? Spring steel? 1075 or 1090 ? 0.008 or 0.025 ?
This is what I use.

@@redkitekk Thank you !
Is everyone paying attention here (I believe the Side Bending Jig is available from LMI)
I wish you would have been my uncle.
