Ormsby Guitars - Multiscale Custom Video Diary - PART THREE

[xHighPotencyx]

I would shit my pants trying to work that bandsaw around the fretboard...

[Nasosdag]

I've ALWAYS wanted to know how a guitar is built! Thanks so much for these vids. And the results look and sound stunning!

[MICKEYISLOWD]

perry your the best builder ive seen period!!!

[00Ibanezist00]

Hi Perry Ormsby! May I ask what brand your band saw is, and how much you paid for it?

[umangu]

Your clamping methods - very clever!

[mickey007r]

@00Ibanezist00 thx

[idontgrillonwed]

Do you use a template to route the fretboard blank width and taper before you radius it and such?

[ofwolfandman87]

I don't exactly get it, whats the difference between a planer and a thicknesser?

awesome build btw!

[MaskedEmrys]

Same thing. It's a planer in the US, thicknesser in the UK/Aus. Officially it's a thickness planer.

[danmst3k]

A jointer (the first machine used for the neck stock) is used to make one flat face. The thickness planer (second machine) is used to flatten the opposite face parallel and in the same "plane" as the jointed face. The thickness planer also cuts the piece to the proper thickness (duh). Hope this helps! :)

that cut for the headstock was complete genius!

[jafardude007]

again ormsby, genius

i never would have thought of the method you did for the headstock

[darrenguitar]

should u not be leaving ure machines on for a min according to health and safety

[rhoads56]

Huh? Which machines? Which countrie's H&S states this? Why would i leave a saw running for a minute after using it?

[speero123]

are u kidding?

ormsby doesnt need to let saw blades run

he just grabs the blades with his bare hands and shapes to his will sharpens them with his rage!

[stillborn61]

that seems really against anything anyone has ever told me

[jewbaby667]

Another UG'er following on the forums. That band saw cutting actually got me nervous. After you were done cutting i felt like a big action movie scene was over and I kind of unclenched ehehehhe.

Just wanted to give a thumbs up \m/

[just17n8]

man your attention to detail is amazing... in your thread on UG i couldnt figure out how you matched the grain in the headstock... now i know.. KEEP THE AMAZING GUITARS COMING!!
