Hey Mac Giver ! I love your home made drum sander ! any source ?
Show muito bom
The sound is very nice. Back and sides are interesting and nice looking. Top is rather plane but that is common with a lot of Spruce top guitars. Over all a very good guitar and you got the most important part right the sound. It has a lovely mellow sound that is quite enjoyable.
Thanks a lot for sharing the video, great channel! Question, is there a reason you used a flat sawn blanks for your braces? As far as I know a quarter-sawn blanks are usually used to gain higher stiffness-to-weight ratio. Good luck building further guitars!
Great video. I just came across the same problem today and found the same root-cause as you did (the bolt binding). I was also planning to leave the bolt out, but concerned that the unsupported riving knife may shift and bind some day (or something worse might happen). Anyway, I like your suggestion about tapping the metal plate. Did you ever end up doing that? If so, did you tap it in place or did you need to remove the bracket?
I chose to leave the bolt out and haven't had any issues, and have put many hours on the saw since. I have the knife support adjusted nice and snug around the arbor shaft, and with the lower slot adjusted and in place, the knife has lots of support. That said, if I were to tap the plate I'd probably remove it from the saw so I'd have room to work. I'd worry that I wouldn't get the tapped hole nice and square otherwise. Good luck!
I’m probably over-thinking this, but I decided to open up the slot using a small Drummel size cutting bit. It took quite a lot of grinding but eventually opened it up and eliminated the interference. I also took a chance and tapped a 1/4-20 thread (eyeballing the perpendicularity). I lucked out and the new bolt sweeps the whole span without interfering. Since the original hole was for M6 clearance, the 1/4-20 tap did not result much thread engagement and could easily strip if torqued too much… so avoid stripping I locked the bolt (with light torque) and then epoxied the hex head against the sheet metal so it would not back out. I if ever need to remove the bolt I could always heat the epoxy to remove. Lastly I reinstalled the washer on the other side but left clearance between washer and casting to avoid binding.
Fabulous! Inspiring! Thank you.
This is fabulous, almost every part in this series shows some trick or problem solved. How about that fret hammer, it's almost quiet!
What are the body dimensions? Great job ❤
Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of time, cut knuckles and switching between reading glasses and distance glasses figuring this out! If you crank on the height adjustment hard enough, the plate that those bolts are screwed into can bend, too. I agree with most other posts - I really do like this saw. I put in a Bosch router plate & router on the right side (when facing the feed side of the saw) and it gives me a very nice mobile station for both tasks. Thanks, again!
Yo! I really appreciate your help on this. I fixed my saw as this was a problem. I need a hole, not a drill. Haha!
Ridgid makes crap tablesaws
Any idea what might be wrong if the bolt if off, the bottom channel is off and it still won't come up? I checked both the arms that ride in the channel and they are free but the blade won't come up.
It might be binding on that bottom cnannel if you have the steel slide completely off. The steel slide is needed for smooth movement of the riving knife. Or it might be the connection of the riving knife mechanism to the arbor itself, right around the arbor bearing. I didn't show in the video, but there are adjustment screws there that can be loosened to make the riving knife mechanism pivot easier - mine was pretty tight.
@@BWorks forgot to reply here. The issue in mine was different. The motor arm / arbor was rubbing against the connecting plate between arbor and the riving knife. Physically pulling the motor out away from the arm and moving it, finally sanding down the arm is what helped. This saw has pretty terrible design for blade movement.
Best guitar mold I ever seen
Hiya! is there any chance I could get a pdf with the guitar plan? just wondering so I could build it?
😅I’m looking at my saw now. I don’t even have that bolt installed. I don’t know if it fell out or never came. I will say I’m having issues with larger sheet goods binding. I thought it was blade nope new blade put in but I think the knife is shifting without that bolt installed. thanks for the video
Just an amazing build. The shape of the guitar has the feel of high end teak motorboats and the colour has the mystery of the movie Avatar.. just exellent
Mudafookin brilliant craftsmanship!
Thanks for the explanation. I have incurred the same problem twice now and it is a haste. However, your insight definitely helps.
You should head down to Kamloops sometime and show off your work to Mike Miltimore at Riversong guitars. He's almost as much of a guitar nerd as Ben Crowe.
Genious build and darn beautiful too!
Congratulations on the 2nd place, and thanks for the shout-out! I voted for your build, and I'm super pleased that you got well deserved recognition.
Hey Colin, many congrats on your placing, well deserved! And thanks so much for the shout out, it is very much appreciated.
First I've heard of you! I'm in for the build - your guitar is crazy-cool!
This is simply fantastic, so well-conceived and executed.
Looks great but do you think it has some remarkable barrel resonance new a low end?
It sounds better in person (I used two phones to record it), but yes it does have a sort of hollow resonance at the low end.
@@BWorks ... or may be a room adds some resonances. This is possible. Sure I'm not able to judge it in person.
Hey Colin...absolutely love this build...the fact that you make all your own equipment, including a thicknesser (is that a washing machine motor you have on there?) is brilliant...and the adjustable mould...just amazing. The whole concept of this guitar is fantastic...as someone who builds steel bodied resonators with aluminium cones, I have got to admit that what you have achieved with wood is truely eye (and ear) opening. Great job🙂👍✌️ Watched your reverse build a couple of times...just catching up on the full build now👍
I don't know if they've improved on the tang nippers since I took my repair course in the late 90's, but even if you have one, you're still probably going to have to do a little filing to get the bottom of the fret smooth.
I wanted to say that this build is just stunning. Everything about the build screams master craftsman. I have voted you as the best build for the freestyle category. I would also vote for you as the best build in GGBO 2022. It's just beautiful. Your ideas, the way you have built it, your tooling designs, the video presentation itself , especially the reverse build idea, the materials you've used... Absolutely everything was outstanding, beautiful and so professional executed... Just stunning 👍👍😎
Man, thank you so much!
Beautiful!
This build has really blown my mind. The beautiful shape with the tapering sides, the lovely finish, the hidden soundboard, the construction techniques, amazing.
Thank you very much!
Great skills! Good work!
Absolutely amazing work! Watching all these to come also.
Very good man !
You got my vote my friend… gorgeous abd unique. The internal sound board with the bridge thru the top… what a cool design…
That bottom channel bracket just bends out it pisses me off and my saw is past the warranty. 😡😡😡😥
Excellent Video, a question would you recommend buying a machine like the R4512? and the motor goes with belt or strap???
I have had the 4512 model for several years and have not experienced this issue at all?
You got my vote this year! Beautiful clean build and very impressive 👍🤘
Thanks!
Gorgeous build. What a beauty!
Great guitar build love the detail. I don't know if I've missed a video but I don't understand the neck attachment?? You have fitted thread inserts into the neck/fingerboard extension but then cut the top away. There doesn't appear to be a neck block extension below so I'm puzzled where you bolt that to, apart from the heel bolts of course?? Great video though.
Thanks! Yeah it's easy to miss - In part 5 at 9:22 you see me install the clamp. A u-shaped clamp bolts to those inserts and holds the soundboard against the fretboard.
@@BWorks Hi, Yes I see it now - interesting method - do you think clamping works as well as if you extended the neck block to incorporate the fixings?? I can't help feeling you lose rigidity in the top with that huge cutout.
@@davidjennings9253 it only works because the neck extends into the guitar top as well, not just the fretboard. So the neck acts as support for the top, instead of vise versa. The neck in turn is supported by the neck block which has a Spanish foot for extra strength. To be honest, future guitars of mine will either have a more supportive neck block as you suggest, or else an upper bout that is completely free of the fretboard and supported separately, to allow it to vibrate more freely. I plan on trying both methods - I'm still experimenting. That said, this guitar has remained stable so far, a year and a half on
@@BWorks I only made this point as, over the years I have done a number of neck resets where the top at the upper bout has started to distort and collapse into the sound hole so it just seems that you must lose an awful lot of strength when you cut that much of the top away. Admittedly those repairs have been on vintage instruments of up to 50 years of age so time had taken it's toll. If your guitar has remained stable then great and it busts a lot of theories on top construction and bracing. I have always used the extended laminated neck block to which I bolt through to the fingerboard extension as well as the neck heel. Keep up the great videos and best wishes for the future builds.
Very cool guitar. Well done
😄 watching this in reverse was so confusing. I'm going to have to check out all the build videos. Absolutely stunning guitar. Great work.
Haha, I was a little worried about that - making the video in reverse. I'm glad you like the guitar!
really like how this turned out! you hooked me from the moment of the first time I saw your concept! glad it worked out this great! Not to mention your ingenious jigs!
Thanks a lot!
She is beautiful to look at and listen to. You should be very happy and proud
Firstly, the colour combinations on this are awesome. Secondly, that internal sound board is so cool. I'd love to see an exact copy of the guitar without one to see the difference (but that would be an extreme waste of time). Very cool work!
This technology was used by Lloyd Loar when at Gibson in the 1920s on mandolins. Yours has a hollow sound, like reverb! Nice addition! Might span others to experiment with the same idea. I thought it turned out great! Good luck and hope you build more instruments. Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
such a cool build, love the internal soundboard idea
Seeing it backwards is really entertaining! Well done, on design and execution, a lovely build.👍
Absolutely, it's so unique and compelling. What a great idea.
The Backwards Construction was a cool idea. Really loved all the small 'tools' you made you make your building process easier. As for the guitar, I love the non standard soundholes, and the Idea with the additiona soundboard is really cool. It makes want to see if my weird accoustic design in my head would work out. My motivation got smashed down a bit when I tried to build a stool 2 years ago :P Keep it up!
Very ingenious design. Yo have my vote.
