I'd like to do a video on binding. There are dozens of videos on the subject already, but I have noticed that few, if any of them demonstrate remedies for things that go wrong, don't fit, and all the other nightmares that can can and do occur . I'd like to produce a video that goes beyond "run the router around here, tape the binding like this". I'll work on putting that together.
@@thepragmaticluthier I'll look forward to that. All your videos to date have been very helpful, practical and cost effective. For that, I that you very much.
No material REQUIRES a filler but an unfilled surface on any open grain wood will show the pores throughout the finish. Some prefer this, others don't. I use a filler on all my instruments and Butternut is a very open grain wood, so to me, that's a requirement. I hate all fillers, but there is no way around it.

I have troubles come winter----I have no climate control. = shrinking. Have you ever had any winter shrinkage problems? if a guitar is assembled in August? then comes cold weather. Wondering.
I have had that problem , especially during a particularly dry winter five years ago. My solution is to operate the shop as close to 50% R.H. all year. that may mean dehumidifying in want weather and the opposite during the dry winter months. The problem occurs more easily when the guitar or its components go from one extreme to the other.
Looks great, looking forward to the finished product and I'm enjoying the process.
Looks like you are having fun it will be nice to see the Finished product .
Enjoying....the Bassics.
I'm glad you are. You should come see it in person and engage in a jam session while you're here.
Would be good to see how you cut a binding channel, unless you've already done that video and I missed it.

Thanks for the update. Will the butternut require a filler when you finish the guitar?
