  • Hallo Chris, this is Frank from the Netherlands. Great video I learned a lot of it.

    If you don’t mind I’ve got a question about de first 30 sec. of the video.

    You are using a self-made tool on witch you are shaving the edge of the top wood (so there will no space between the two pieces)

    Question: are you shaving one peace at the time, or are you shaving two pieces on each other?

    I can’t see it on the video when you taking away the woods. Greetings, Frank

  • @knarf856 Two at a time stacked and book matched. It's a shooting board and is an old common method. There is a youtube by Todd Stock showing how to make one and use it.

  • @knarf856 Look up "Making a Luthiers Shooting Board " by MDLuthier

  • There's no problem with your english. I see what you are saying now. I might give that a try sometime. I'm always looking for better ways of doing things and trying out new ideas if I think it will work better. More then one way to skin that cat. One thing nice about the Luthier community is the sharing of ideas and technics.

  • Great tip there Chris.Thanks for sharing it.

see all

  • Great tip Chris, thanks. It surely beats setting up clamps and wedges.

  • @chrispaulick Thanks Chris you are a great help to me. Think I"ll going to build the shooting board.

  • where'd did you get the claro walnut. I have black walnut i'm using now, but i want to see the subtle tone differences

  • i am from Argentina and I'm starting on this path of guitar-like to know the design and dimensions of the instrument you use to brush the tops. what you use at the beginning of the video where you support caps. sorry for my English

  • Man! I am hooked! I just spent the last 3 hours watching almost every video and every one is amazing and really informative, thank you very much for the awesome videos! Not only am I now going to save money but I am super amped to start on my first OO build, thanks!

  • Yes I agree, thats why I watch youtube videos. There are tons of luthier out there. And everyday I learn new tip and tricks. Its just like an online workshop.
