    Use your off cuts when possible to clamp the cork.. The ones cut on the bandsaw for example.. Good Project.

    Thanks for the tip on how to make the clamping caul with the cove cut. I was working on a different project the other day and decided to make one for myself with some of the left over wood. Turned out great!

    • @homebuiltshop

      Thanks. At first its a bit intimidating, but once you do it, there's nothing to be scared of. It actually opens up several possibilities for other projects.

    Nice video. I don't have the confidence to use a table saw like that, but at least it has me thinking about a possible project in the future.
    I made some spool clamps and used cork. Contact cement worked great and best of all no clamping.

    Great explained. But it must be a hell to be lefthanded. Saw that. when You cut of the excess of the cork. Something went wrong like looking in a mirror in the wrong direction in some how. Now I,m going to make my own neckrest and I,m right handed, thanks God. 😅😅 Btw my wife and both daughters are lefthanded oh yea.

    Cool video! Use a sharpie to mark your table saw for future reference marks instead of tape. They can easily be removed when your done with them with acetone or alcohol.

    Very nice job and great idea.
    I need to find a way to make a neck rest, but I do not have a table saw. I am basically limited to my Radial Arm saw and a shallow depth reciprocating type saw and some hand tools. Any ideas?
    Thanks and nice job on your neck rest.

    Can you tell me why you put cork on before you put Tung oil on? Will it not adhere?

    • @homebuiltshop
      @homebuiltshop  Před 5 lety

      You got it. I didnt want to try glueing it on top of the oil. Most likely it wouldn't stick well.

  • @davidclink2032
    @davidclink2032 Před 4 lety +1

    If you make that cove cut with a 10" saw blade will it work as a fretboard radiating tool?

    • @homebuiltshop
      @homebuiltshop  Před 4 lety

      It would if you can safely get the correct radius. I might try making some this way.

    • @joexaver1611
      @joexaver1611 Před 3 lety

      It will not work. When you run a board across the blade diagonally you get an elliptical cut, not a circular cut. The only time you get a circular cut is when you run the board perpendicular to the blade, which will give you a 5" radius. An elliptical cut is good enough for a clamping caul or a neck rest, but I don't think it would be good for a fretboard.

    Using the table saw like this is very dangerous, please guys, never do that

    • @MorleyRobertson1975
      @MorleyRobertson1975 Před 4 lety

      Using a table saw is always dangerous. As long as you go slowly and don't force the wood through, it's no more dangerous than a straight cut.

    • @joexaver1611
      @joexaver1611 Před 3 lety +1

      If you place the diagonal fence in front of the blade so the force of the blade is pushing the wood against the fence it will be easier to control the cut, and therefore safer.
