Bending Guitar sides by hand

- In this video you see me jointing the back, dimensioning the sides and above all bending the sides by hand on a bending iron.
It takes me about 12 minutes to bend a side and fit it into the mold.
Filmed with my Zoom Q8.
All music is composed and played by me.

the absolute best vid I've seen yet on this.thanks.
I may have watched this video a dozen times. I made a jig almost just like yours and just bent my very first side. The smell was really great! I felt surprisingly confident. It just have been from watching you work. Thanks very much for sharing your skill.
Thank you for sharing this, really nice to see a craftsman at work.
What a great video, a Master Craftsman in his shop ... How someone can take blocks and strips of wood and shape in this way is awesome .... Don’t let the material command you, you command the material 👍. A tree and Mr. Kuijk walk into a bar, only Mr. Kuijk and fine guitar walk out ...
Awesome! coming up in the next few newby task. Thank You for sharing!
this is amazing. awesome to see people do work by hand like this. keep up the videos!
Simply the best guitar building video I've ever seen.
wow its almost meditative to just watch the process...love it thanks
Thank you for sharing this technique. I feel ready to bend my first set of sides now!
Sir, Having watched luthiers attempt to bend sides for many years now (25 years, or so) this is by far the most helpful video clip I've seen. You are a Master Luthier indeed. Thank you for letting those of us with less skill learn from you. With great appreciation, David Lee
Thank You so much. I really appreciate the sharing of Your knowledge and skill.
Now there is a man who knows how to sharpen a scraper!
Wunderschönes, präzises Werk! Es war mir ein Vergnügen, Sie bei der Arbeit gesehen zu haben, danke und liebe Grüße aus Ungarn.🎸
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!👍❤️
Thank you for this video and great tip with the board around the bending iron for keeping the sides level. I hope you don't mind me borrowing that idea 😊
Thank you for the excellent Video. The timing is perfect as I'm getting ready to bend my 1st side set. Luv the platform...!
Hier heb ik wat aan een rustig stuk vakwerk met uitleg en geen woord teveel! Dank je Ad.
Thank you for posting this. I'm ready to bend my first set of sides, and seeing your approach gives me more confidence to try it. I very much like your clamping setup for gluing the halves of the back together.
Ad van Kuijk- This is a great lesson on bending sides and some fine points along the way. Seeing it done right will save me lots of time and mistakes I don’t need to make. I’ll be working with African Blackwood. It has to be right! Thanks a bunch.
