CNC Marker Test - Carbide Create - Shapeoko 5 Pro
I finally fired up the Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC and started doing some tests with a marker. I made a quick drawing in Carbide Create, taped a marker to the spindle and ran the program. This is a surprisingly musical cnc. Looking forward to actually cutting some wood soon…

Hand carving guitar neck on an Explorer style guitar
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed rokem
Hand carving the neck on an Explorer style guitar. Clamping the body of a set neck guitar has always been a challenge. I finally came up with the simple solution of screwing a block of wood into the pickup routes then clamping it in a vise. I’m sure I’m not the first person to come up with this but I’m glad I figured it out. It makes the whole operation a lot easier. #strackwoodworking #woodwor...
Installing White Limba blocks in a Walnut fingerboard - timelapse
zhlédnutí 588Před rokem
This is a timelapse video that documents the process of installing block inlays into a fingerboard. I attached the blocks to the fingerboard with the masking tape and superglue trick. Then I scored around the blocks with a razor blade. Next I removed the blocks and created the pockets by drilling, routing and chiseling. I glued the blocks in and sanded them flush on my radius sanding setup.

Here’s a video showing the full process of making a Tele pickguard out of an old drawer. Bottom panels of drawers are often thin plywood with a decorative veneerand are perfect for making pickguards. In this case the veneer was oak. The guitar that this pickguard was made for is pictured at the end of this video. It was made from a desk and a door that came from the client’s childhood home.

Making fingerboard out of reclaimed trim boards
zhlédnutí 673Před 2 lety
Here’s a timelapse of me making fingerboard out of some reclaimed maple trim. Literally making something useful out of someone’s trash…
Beautiful
I actually really like the raw chiseled look when you're making the arch on top. It reminds me of a hammered cymbal and it'd be cool to see a guitar with bronze finish and chiseled top.
How pliable is that epoxy? Is it really rigid or does it flex a bit like other pickguards?
Great !!
This is what the music sounds like in hell… repeating for all eternity
Ну и говно ваш телекастер на внешний вид, как будто-то его только что вытащили из дерьма !!!
Wow great video beautiful instrument. I always thought that the f style was called the f style because of the shape of the holes where the sound comes out ……obviously I am NOT an expert.
Was that Indian tattoo on your forearm the Indian shooting the start from the Blow Pops wrapper? Lol
Nice work, is that a tru oil finish?
Well done sir. You've included many steps many others fail to show. Outstanding discipline. I'm curious how long it took end-to-end in real time? Thanks again for your effort.
My dude did you freehand the fret slots with a Dremel? If I did that they'd look like linguini! :P Great looking build!
The slots are already cut. I was just cleaning them out. The Drexel bit follow the slot
What wood is this ?
Reclaimed pine and fir
Oh man, I can't describe how nice it is to see a new mandolin that doesn't have a sunburst finish.
I love that wood look, very nice 👍
wow i started this video like oh this could be cool and i went geeeez thats awesome
I own a 70s Gibson Flying V and i want it to have Block Inlays so bad. I think i have to find a good Luthier who will do it for me. No way im going to dp that on my Guitar on my own.
Bonjour un très bon travail comment peux couter une guitare fait par vos soins merci 🙏 j’adore le rendue des trois couleurs merci pour se pertage 👍👍👍👍🙋🏻♂️
Beautiful 👍
More please.
Wow such an impressing journey! Love it!❤
Great❤
Pretty dang cool. Ive never made anything but f holes. After watch this I may try an oval hole. I love the no binding affect. What's that goop you slathered on to finish it? Looks great!
It’s Bioshield Hard Oil which is similar to old violin varnishes. It’s basically linseed oil, tung oil and rosin.
Beautiful..🤗
Gibson Les Paul standing the body at the neck is suck . The best and most comfortable shape of the les paul is on harley benton guitars !
Finally a video of someone actually building a guitar and not just assembling parts together. Excellent work, looks amazing!
It is very strange that after watching this long video, we never hear what the mandolin sounds like.
Yes, apart from the line at the beginning stating that the soundtrack is all his instruments, including this mandolin, for 34 minutes.
I didn’t see at the beginning that that music was played on this mandolin and frankly I would have liked to hear the mandolin demoed for tone by itself. I assume that is not the point and the maker can provide a sound file for those interested in buying it.
Dope ass guitar brother, nice use of old beautiful wood and I bet it sounds as smooth as it looks! Wish I could get my bucket scrubbers on it! Sub-scribed😊
There's a trick to adding ears to the lower bout so you don't have to make a three piece back. Wedges are cut off the top of the block and slip matched. Its a little tricky but it works with curly maple. Excellent workmanship there.
Excellent work, excellent video.
Lovely work and great result
Absolutely fantastic video but the music is bloody awful........
Nice
Incredible! Great craftsmanship. No wonder the F Style mandolins cost more than the A style. Lots of extra effort.
Some company, can't remember which one, said they can make 5 flat top guitars in the time it takes to make an F style mandolin. No wonder good ones are pricey.
Amazing !!
Thanks!!
I liked the video... picked up a couple tips .. BUT I wish that Luthiers would stop using Titebond 2 and 3... Original Titebond holds beautifully and you don't need near as much heat to take something apart for repairs.. There's a reason original is used in most Big Name factories .... so if the instrument comes back for repairs you don't have to torture it with higher heat and there's less tearout... Sorry..just hard to watch someone grab that green bottle..lol Best tip was the rough smoothing out the top's dome with sandpaper on a flexible piece of flat metal like a ruler or something.... makes me wonder why I didn't think of that..
I switch to original Titebond for the joints that might be worked on in the future. I mainly use 3 for laminating veneers.
The only things I would have done differently would be vintage split post tuners and traditional Jazzmaster pickups.
Very cool
One thing I've never understood about mandolin making - Why is it traditional to put the fancy figured woods on the back and a plain top? Beautiful work, BTW.
For the top a light and rather unspectacular straight grain wood like spruce or cedar or redwood will transform the sound waves best while the fancy maple adds a bright color in tone plus stability and if possible beauty. The wood choice of the classic mandolins of the early 1920s refers to European classical instruments who are mainly made of what was best of the trees growing nearby.
Straight grain soft wood is flexible, which is needed in a top for it to vibrate well. Hard woods work for other parts and those can be found with more figure
Awesome.
Brilliant!!
Wow, gorgeous work!! How did you like carving the reclaimed redwood? I did an archtop out of it a while back, and found it almost too soft. My carving tools wanted to take off more than I needed, and I ended up getting some grain line cracks that needed gluing back together. Just my experience anyway
Thanks! I actually love working with redwood. It is soft so I made sure that my tools were super sharp and I worked slowly. The final results are definitely worth the effort.
Какая идиотская озвучка.Неужели автор не понимает этого?!Такая "музыка " отобьёт желание смотреть что угодно.
The soundtrack of this video was incredibly relaxing, which fit the vibe really well
The mandolin has been extinct for 1,000 years and archeologists find this video saved to someones phone. What are the odds they can revive it with just this video?
No words Just gratitude. This is the highest form of art, and creates endless possibilities
Great soundtrack. Enjoyed the straight-up woodworking. The video hints at the great skill and dedication and time it takes to create art and function. Was mesmerized the entire video.
😂😂 WOYYYYYYY saya sama heran kaya anda itu surat ke presiden ....
Now I know why Les Pauls are quite expenssive.. The amount of work done in the wood is like it takes forever. And this unit is one of the best ive seen.
Ein großes Dankeschön für das Video! Da sieht jeder, wie aufwändig es ist ein tolles Instrument herzustellen. Viele denken ja, man drückt in China auf ein paar Knöpfe und der 3-D-Drucker spuckt sowas aus.😒
Fun fun also as. Well.
