Hey, do you ever have problems with the bandsaw blade deflecting and not cutting straight? Or do you use wide blades which don't bend as much?

[bobloblaw1701]

I did, but then I bought a wider blade with fewer teeth per inch thats meant for resawing. I can resaw a 10 inch piece of hardwood now without too much difficulty. You have to take it slowly though.

Great videos..

Is your neck blank quartersawn or flat sawn and does it matter which you use..

Thanks

[bobloblaw1701]

Quarter sawn is best. Of all the parts of a guitar that you don't want to warp down the road, the neck is the most crucial. At times when I was using non-quartersawn wood, I would always build up the blank by laminating pieces of wood together to try and minimize and warping later.

thank you very much for sharing your skills with us,and what is the best glue to bond wood for your experience?

[zach0520]

Oh and thanks for the great series of videos :)

[zach0520]

This may be a stupid question but since we all know that guitars are susceptible to the damage with humidity changes why are the insides of guitar bodies finished as the outside is? Wouldn't that help protect the guitar from humidity changes? Or would it have a detrimental effect on the tone?

[Gothika777]

U would have saved alot of time if u used a block plane instead of sanding it
