I was a big fan back in the Hillsboro days, learned a lot, always got a smile from your videos, then I got busy or something and just stopped watching. I am so glad I watched this one tonight. I learned more stuff, got another dose of that Puckett induced joy, and my day got a little brighter (which is a real good thing in the PNW this time of year). Thanks for being you, Del. I think I'll probably become a regular again.
Del, I can’t believe you drill that Jack hole counter sink free hand. I find that to be one of the most challenging tasks on a CBG. I clamp my box to the edge of my workbench so it can’t move, I make a pilot joke with an awl so the forstner can’t slip, and zi get down on one knee and drill with as steady a hand as I can get and hold my breath that I go far enough but not too far haha. Great jam too, that ventilator cranks out some “heavy metal” haha
I am a retired Head Saw Filer and most saws can be refreshed by simply using laundry detergent in a bucket lid and a little water and old tooth brush. They come out Clean and cut Waaaaay better. Especially with carbide tipped saws. I would make the cut a little slower to allow the saw gullets to clean out. Cleaner cuts that way. works with drill bits to. LOW RIDER! YEA!! Cool! Also if you drill that jack hole abit too deep.......well then just keep going and then use a jack plate from CB GITTY!
"Parson table leg" Was the label on this 2x2" piece of oak. I found it at Goodwill and it rode around in my truck for at least a year, and I had the brilliant idea it would be my guitar neck. When the time came, it had a nasty bow in it. I was too set on it to turn back, so I put a truss rod in it. I had planed it, and applied mechanical pressure on it when gluing on the fretboard, and it came out fine. But yeah. Don't do that, especially like I did, on my first build! 😂
Thanks for the tips Dale, I'm working on build 12 and 13 right now. I have a friend that is a woodworker and he uses wood from His farm. He cut me a bunch of neck wood and fret boards from white oak and maple. Enough I think to keep me busy all winter. And Thanks for all your build video's and the CBGITTY link. I use it every time I order.
Thanks for the hacks! You can’t break the rules as rule number 1 is “there are no rules” and rule number 2 “Refer to Rule number 1”. And the most important rule number 3 “Have Fun”.

That is some good advice for cleaning up a saw!

Del, you need to hear the version of Low Rider by the metal band Exodus

Great song! I Bought Fabulous Disaster when it came out. Awesome band.

You are a lucky guy, having a woodworker friend who gives you access to quality wood!! 👍
Good tip
Sounds good from Mn…..iam on number 5, not intonated. Working on it…..thanks
I used to drill small holes in my picks.
awe yeah !!!!!👍🏽
I tried the Chicago Electric Mighty Mo with jig and it never had enough power to cut, either slow or fast push, so back to manual saw
mine works even with the dull blade
Мужик - ты нереально крут!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂👻👻👻
The harbor freight mighty mite I bought was not powerful enough to cut fret slots😢

What if you drop the pick through the vent.
I carve the side wall of the box from the inside to fit the jack flush on the outside
I fell asleep!

Never mind mate mate, think there's cartoons on now .peace
