That sanding technique with the veneer spacers is gold. Thank you.
I have done quite a few of these and yet, I keep watching your video. It is just wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for all your videos, you are the best at explaining the important things.
Fantastic video, thank you! I like your style of explanations and how you point out important details.
So huge and excellent explanation.
Thanks a lot, Pablo.
Thanks very much for sharing this. Can't wait to try it out. Also - great tip on getting the thickness correct with the tape and the block!
Great videos and instruction. Very generous of you. Thank you.
Loving these videos, thank you for your knowledge and sharing, it is huge.
Very good! Congrats! I will try this in my number two guitar.
So glad to know how this is done. I will try it for myself.
You have removed the mystery of how herringbone is made. Before now it just seemed like magic. Beautiful work.
I have a greater appreciation of the binding and rosettes on my guitar.
Thank you so much Pablo ! great videos, very clear and helpfull !
Thank you very much for the demonstration, much appreciated
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 I love everything about this video
Really great video, I now feel I can attempt this myself, thanks.
It is a pleasure for me to watch your videoinstructions. Its amazing to see your really perfect work.lts a pitty that you are so far away from Germany. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information.
Thank You Pablo.....A lot of luthiers dont share knowledge
Thank you so much, this is like. Gold!!!
excellent explanation, to the point...,thank you
Thank You for the great recommendations...
Obrigado! Video muito bem feito, mostra todos os detalhes da construção. Agora ficou fácil, realmente. O truque da plaina em 9 graus para a emenda é de tirar o chapéu.
Excellent! Thank you.
beautiful rosette :) such an art .
These videos are wonderful!
Greg Robinson thank you. If you like my videos please have a look at www.onlineguitarmakingcourse.com
Brutal, me ha encantado
Muchas gracias por compartir esto Pablo. Tu forma de trabajar es espectacular, se aprende mucho.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom, it's amazing.
Sergio Valverde.
Gracias Sergio, a ti tampoco se te da mal!
Great information -- Thank you!
You are welcome!
Very well explained and very informative, thankyou .......
thanks pablo I cut mine at 45 deg for headstock and center rib inlays, back , rosette etc. different angles seem to create a different look .Have also done 13 deg,
Terrific Sir
Great video thanks
cuando miro sus videos, mas me hace extrañar al maestro Ricardo Louzao, que l si sabia explicar.
Excellent.
Hello my friend! Fantastic work!! I will make one herringbone using ABS plastic and glue with acetone, but the process is similar. My project is for a irregular stamp. Thanks for share your knowledge!! Sorry for my english.....
very helpful !!!
Titebond II dries yellow. Never had any issues with the color of the glue when it dries. If you glue things up well and precisely, you will never see a glue line. If Torres had Titebond, he would have used it! I also use hot hide glue, epoxies, cold hide glue, fish glue, white glue and super glued. All for different tasks. I'm not opposed to modern glues. I'm not a hide glue purist.b it has it's place. Titebond II can take the bending heat. Don't over cook it when bending what you have glued up. Don't try to bend more than 3 glued up veneers. It won't usually work.
You can actually bend the herringbone with veneers on both sides. All you need to do is make a circle channel that is a little smaller than the diameter you’ll need in a piece of MDF. Heat the herringbone with a heat gun lightly and work the herringbone into the channel. It will bend without an issue. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.
Thank you, really!!!!!
Fantastico !
Gracias!! me alegro de que te guste!!
Thank you so much, this movie helped me so much :)
You are welcome! I am pleased you found it useful.
gracias por compartir!
nhandutimusic, de nada.
thank you kind sir
amazing
c’est très difficile de trouver de l’information sur la manière de construire les herringbones. Je vous remercie énormément pour vos explications claires et précises.
Great video Pablo… quick question what watch is that you are wearing it looks super cool
It is a watch I got years ago as a gift from a friend so I don't know where he bought it, in the Watch itself it says POLICE
Fascinating. Need the patience of Jobe. 🤭 Skill & Artistry. 👍. Inspiring. 👍
Does it matter if you cut the veneer crosswise to the grain or lengthwise? Or does it make sense to alternate grain orientation for more strength as in plywood?
It would be necessary you do video how you build the block for obtain herringbone
Is it possible to use hide glue for this work, or will it fall apart wenn you heat it for bending? Great video, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!
Yes, if you use hide glue it is more likely that things will come unstuck. If you really want to use hide glue you will have to make sure that you don’t apply too much heat when bending the strips.
@@redkitekk many thanks Pablo, i will try to make some test pieces!
👍👍👍Sir I just wondering is that color green automatic comes from the tree or you color stain
Thanks for very helpful video.
A question: Any advice to making a herringbone from two pieces,
where the heads of the arrows from each halfcircle meet at the centerline of top.
Vesa Kuokkanen this is too complicated to explain in a few lines. I will make a video about it soon.
@@redkitekk
Looking foward to it.
Pablo, could you tell me if you use any software to draw the rosettes and purflings?
And, if you use, which software do you use?
Hi Rinaldo, I have never used any software to design my rosettes, so I don't really know what to recommend.
thanks for your video. I made my blank. sliced it diagonally. glued it back together and sliced off some slabs. here is my problem: the green and white bars in the slab are not parallel. they are sort of wavy. if that description makes sense. where did I go wrong?
Hi Bob, This is quite normal.If you cry on with the process to the point in which you have a piece as long as you need then cut it in to strips and glue together adjacent strips, then all the green and white will line up correctly. once you cut the strips it doest really matter that the coloured lines are wavy while it is still a block.
I hope it make sense.
Pablo
Pablo have you been able to put together a complete set of videos with dimensions for building a classical guitar? I'm very interested in building a classical guitar with your method of building classical guitars. I am very interested in purchasing the video series from you. I'm looking forward to hear from you.
David E Miller
Hi David,
I am still working on that, I am hoping that it will be available before the end of the year.
@@redkitekk Thanks, please let me know when you have them ready to purchase.
Hi Pablo how do you make the 0.3 mm veneer? I just found in the market 0.5 veneer. Thanks in advance!
Hi Ricardo, I buy it from a supplier in the UK called David Dyke, his website is www.luthierssupplies.co.uk
thanks a lot, very nice technique!
what glue are you using???
+Félix Cesar Augusto
I am using Titebond, but you could also do it with animal glue.
+PabloRequena
and you dont have any problem when bending it, somtimes with titebond it unglued...
+Félix Cesar Augusto
Of course you have to be careful and don't overheat it, bent it a little and let it rest to then carry on when it is cold.
+Félix Cesar Augusto I would suggest to Felix that he uses Titebond II, which is water resistant. I have been using that for any glued up veneers that will eventually get heated and bent. It never separates. Titebond II is the best glue for any glued up veneers which will eventually be bent on a hot iron or in a side bending machine. I've been using that glue for over 25 years with much success. I only use Titebond II for gluing up purfling stock and herringbone, dots, chains and the rest for rosette making. Anything that will eventually be bent on a hot iron or in a bending machine. Good luck.
robertbdesmond titebond II dries brown. does this cause any issues?
Sorry...I have not understood how can you make the block...how is it composed
How do you color the wood?
I buy it already coloured.

LOL 5:26 looked like you had a fancy hairdo.
I like these videos. Great instruction. But Mr Requena learned English from a Brit. Some nice American should teach him how to pronounce the "oh" sound. (This, from an admittedly anal-retentive English teacher with a touch of irreverence. I wish I could speak Spanish half as well as he speaks British.) But in all seriousness, these are great videos. Mr. Requena shows and explains as well as can be done in a video. I hope someday to be able to take one of his classes.
DeMar Southard There’s no such language as ‘British’. Equally, there’s no such thing as a ‘British’ accent. There are many English accents as there are Scottish, Welch and Irish. Is there a generic ‘American’ accent? Only in the minds of non-Americans surely...
