Sean, you and Cathy are truly inspirational people and very talented! You make me wanna get off my butt and get something done! I see you both as true American patriots and your channel is a high point for so many of us . Thank you both and blessings and good fortune for both of you! Coop
Sometimes it’s best to build your own tools or at least tweak existing tools . Sometimes my excuse is I got to fix the tool before I can fix the guitar. You guys thanks for what you do.
Love for you to talk about your wood working and machinery background. I can tell you have years and years of experience. I have always loved machine shops.
Hey Shawn, I didn’t get to record the stuff I was able to do for my electric fender I got from Zeny on Amazon last year for my birthday. But I wanted to say thank you so much for showing us all how you repair and fix these Amazon products. My guitar sounds better and cleaner. I still need to intoneate the thing. It’s sharp when I get into the higher frets. But I can tell you it still sounds 100💯 better after adjusting the neck. I’m waiting for my fret tools and radius sanded block to do the frets. So thank you so much for all you and Kathy do, and all the cool things I’m learning from your channel. I am so happy I found it and stuck around. Now I don’t miss any episodes ever.
I've been wanting an X-Carve CNC for a long time. I bought most of the things to build my own. Just need another set of linear bearings, the stepper motors, drivers, breakout boards, motherboard, etc. Basically all the electronics & a set of linear bearings. It's a project I started gathering parts for maybe 7 or 8 years ago, then put on the back burner.
I made a few jigs and tools myself during the covid lockdowns. Necessity and budgets are the mothers of invention. LOVE your rigs! This is why I subbed to your channel in the first place. To learn something I could use.
Killer! I'm a retired machinist, cnc programmer and you're absolutely right. Setting up that cnc takes longer than some simple router fixtures. I do the same thing. I have to make my own tools too. It's good to see that I'm not the only one doing things that way. Whatever works.
Well done!! If you do any work, eventually you'll need a tool that you don't have. Don't just run to the store and spend a ton. Do the Scarred way and make your own it it's possible.It'll be exactly what you need and you'll have more pride in your work. Plus you can help others and that's a great feeling. Great advice, thanks Shawn,!!!
That's what I mean when I say your the 'Bob Ross' of guitar builders...your non-standard tools & techniques are on paar with Bob's use of on-standard paints brushes and painting techniques. Way to think outside the box. 👍
I almost bought a stand-up drill press for 30 bucks at a yard sale last Friday but I got no place to put it I guess I should have got that sucker anyway just in case lol
Love Love Love this video Sean you my friend are the Real Deal and most folk like me that need folk to be just that as Always awesome video bro and I have some of those things too thanx thanx for the ideas simple man with Great Vision ❤
You are a true innovator and inspiration,you give people the confidence to attempt anything , I especially like the drill press idea , I felt utterly stooopid buying one for string through jobs and there’s not enough room to do it, I’ll try that idea thanks for the insight 🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It really does make it simpler for me. I'm just starting out but I always want to be a Luther but my thing is bass guitars 8 like to see you build one on your show. That would be cool and that somebody is thinking about the forgotten bass players Peace . Vinny
Thank you for "zooming out" and explaining your tool designs! The router set up in the past had me a little concerned and curious why you didn't make a typical router table. Now i see the whole picture. I can see how how solid it is and easy to adjust, much easier, than a typical router table. This is an awesome idea as long as you keep an eye on the fingers! 😆. Love that drill press table. Very stable and plenty of room on it. No tippy parts in either set up!
Sean..... here is a guy who moved to New Mexico a long time ago, goofing around on UA-cam, only to find your channel building the same ebay les paul style guitar and find out you went to Plant City High like myself!!! What are the chances???? You have a great channel!!
@10:29 2 minutes 24 seconds to cut those frets. It would have been much faster, but you stopped after the first cut to explain a little bit. That is a very invaluable tool, I like it. One day when I get a garage big enough, I'll have to get my setups that will include something close to all the tools you showed us.
@@scarmyguitar I have a drill press downstairs in my shop that is on the last leg sitting on the adjustable stand, but the motor is still strong. I may use that sometime soon to do that. My shop is more long than wide, and I already have a boat, and a 1970 C10 filling up space!
Hey, I don't have any cool tools, but if you ever need to build anything that could help you. I run an extremely large machine shop with both CNC and manual machines. Lathes and mills. I would love to help you if you need anything. It's the least I can do for all you have done for everyone.
Bro! Your the Man! Sean thank you for sharing all your tricks of the trade and knowledge. So cool, Im just blown away. Im starting my first build or part caster build because I dont have all the tools but you have inspired me to go for it, sourced out all my parts from all over not a kit. Cheers!
Great video…. I have a question, is it cheaper to make your own neck or just buy a good neck, I have seen several online that look amazing all for under a 100$, I even bought one myself and it totally rocks. Man I just finished a kit with many modifications and I wired it for the most part myself made my own pick guard out of wood. I learned most of what I did to the kit from this channel watching old videos. Thanks Sean!
@@scarmyguitar Okay brother but it will have to be your guitar being played with my head cut off...with them effects. They don't make me sound better but better than seeing my mug.
the drill press is cool , i use to own a machine shop and did something like that with a huge drill press , ran I beams across the ceiling and hung the drill press upside down , i like your radius router , do you have different cradles for different radii ?? or do you stick with one radius ? cool TV channel btw
I dig it man, I really like your overhead router, does that piece you made for your drill press keep the bit from wobbling and drifting through the wood? Im still surprised by that.
The key to keep the wobble out is to get a real hard, good bit with the spike on the tip. Then make sure to go slow and look at the bit and make sure it's not bending, as it needs to be straight the whole cut. Don't clamp the body down so it can move with the bit. I don't know how to explain how I do it. It just takes practice and patience.
I guess 10 PM Eastern today huh? That's okay I was here at 5 pacific looking for you at 8 eastern, there's just not enough time in the days bro and I know you're getting busier everyday I hope you move to Nashville that's probably where you belong. You're no handyman guitar builder bro your got that Master attack!
Of course Sean didn’t create his tools. @2Yards created them, as well as every other tool on the planet! 2Yards also created Sean and all humankind too! 😂😂😂 (We ❤ 2Yards!) Btw, most UA-camrs would have charged for his CNC files. Dude just gave it away for free to anyone who has a CNC. He’s generous and genuine, folks! He really wants people to learn and make things accessible to everyone wherever possible so there no excuses not to try your hand at repairing and building your own guitars. Don’t be a dummy. Learn something!

Cool Shit Sean 😮
I spent 5 years in school and have a degree in manufacturing and the tools you made with your own MANOS 🖐️ are the buisness bro 🎸!
I knew the first time I watched one of your videos that you were a dad gummed genius! This just proves how good a judge I am.
Seriously, in my work life 46 years and 3 tours in Vietnam, I’ve ran into 4 now counting Sean.
Sometimes it’s best to build your own tools or at least tweak existing tools . Sometimes my excuse is I got to fix the tool before I can fix the guitar. You guys thanks for what you do.
A truly visual demonstration of the old adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention." Very cool!
Love for you to talk about your wood working and machinery background. I can tell you have years and years of experience. I have always loved machine shops.
Watched this again love the fact you made a pin router what a great idea.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention...
Another Great Video Sean !!!
My favorite is the radius jig. A perfect fret job every time. And any radius. Any scale length. That is really, really cool!

Necessity is the mother of invention. You really are a mechanical genius. That is some good stuff! I have learned more here than anywhere else .
The vids are definitely informative I broke down and got me a kit to give it a whirl
Thanks for sharing! I need to look you up and see what you’re able to custom build
Thank you!!!!!!
Awesome info! Thanks!
solid brother !!!
Everything you say is the truth. TY.
Great setup, Bro!! I've made several cool jigs myself, set up in my basement .. Love it !!
Cool tools! Necessity is the mother of invention as they say. Thanks Sean.
Thanks for showing those Sean! You’re giving me ideas man. That’s some good ingenuity on those tools. Love it!
Great Video Sean...Too many people allow themselves to be limited by a lack of ingenuity.
Awesome stuff man!
I learned a hell of alot from Sean no doubt.
That was a pretty cool video and very interesting the way that you adapted those tools for making guitars.
Always informative

What kind of blade is on that radial arm saw?

😂 Pantyhose rubbers! I laughed for 15 minutes after hearing that
If someone wanted to buy one,where would they find that metal gauge for slotting the fretboard?
Killer!!!
Cool ideas Sean. question on the fret slot jig, is the first slot you cut the nut slot line?
yep
Did you get a chance to link the CNC file for the radius jig? Thanks!

Where did you buy the saw blade for the fret slotter.?
Another request for the blade info😂
@@mkscustomcreations1061 I was wondering if he was using the stewmac one or an alternative cheaper one.
Ingenious
I miss the days of you making guitars.
Where did you get the peg board for the fret board cuts?
As stated in the Title and many times in the video, I made it myself.
@@scarmyguitar That's the most impressive one to me. Those holes have to be perfect. Did you make that on the CNC or with the drill press?

I'm sorry bro I thought it was 7 already. Worked outside in 100 degrees today probably fried my brains a bit.
Wish you'd leave your lives up. Ugh. Sucks. I'm out doing sound or playing on Saturdays.
I can’t find the live feed from last night! @yepgotone6598 I’ve got a guitar I’m hoping you’ll scar!!
