Stewmac 335 kit - a different take
Просмотров 5 тыс.8 месяцев назад
My personal build of the Stewmac ES 335 kit. Although I am an artist, a woodworker, and I've created some cigar box guitars, I am by no means a professional nor a guitarist. In my quest to make more elegant cigar box guitars, and to also electrify my guitars beyond a basic piezo, I decided to build this kit and use it as a learning tool. I highly recommend watching the @Texas toast guitars RUcl...

Maine Island Trail Moments

Various moments from my 11 day adventure on the Maine Island Trail from Portland to Stonington. I paddled 205 miles in my Dirigo 17 made in 1986 in Blue Hill Maine by Dirigo Boatworks. Having found this kayak in a garden shed in West Virginia and then a few months later being able to experience returning this kayak to the waters it was designed for is beyond a blessing. These videos are a colle...

DIY Kayak storage and work stand
Просмотров 1733 года назад
A build video as I create a storage/work stand for my two kayaks. Total cost is about $100. The brand of foam blocks is not important. The NRS foam blocks have an opening in the bottom that allows attaching the block to the cross bar very easily. A pool noodle could also work but there's no V shape in the noodles and might need a bit of modifications/cutting to optimize. Materials : 30 feet of ...

A review of my 17 foot Dirigo Boatworks kayak from Blue Hill Maine. This boat and I were brought together on Earth Day and have spent a couple of weeks getting to know each other. This fiberglass boat consists of a high level of craftsmanship and is a visually spectacular kayak. She's a joy to paddle, very forgiving and faster than the average kayak. I'm looking for more information about Dirig...

You sound absolute gassed lol. Must have been riding hard. Just upgraded from a Journeyman to a Cutthroat. Love my Salsas (5 in the stable now). Thanks for sharing.
Did you skip sanding like they suggested in the Texas toast video? I saw another RUclipsr who used an orbital on theirs. While the stewmac video with the driftwood guitar guys mentioned that maple and other hard woods typically don't need sanding. So just wanted your take as a woodworker and having done the kit - sand or no sand prior to finishing?
Regarding your Bigsby, the B7 should work on a 335 style guitar. However the Vibramate that is needed to go with it is the V7-335 Mounting Kit. It looks like the one you used is a V7-LP. I know it can be very confusing. But you made it work & did a great job!
Hi Kymberly. I was wondering if you could confirm the fretboard radius on this guitar. The StewMac instructions say to use a 16" radius block to sand the frets down. However, the typical Gibson 335 fretboard radius is 12". Hoping you can help answer my question. Thanks!
Although I have this particular guitar here at home right this minute, I'll have to take it into the shop tomorrow and check the radius with the tools I have there. Off the top of my head I don't recall which radius block I used
As side note if you have a fret rocker, you can check how well the Frets are seated, and if you don't have high spots then you don't need to sand the frets to level them because the Frets will be level. It's at least worth checking and maybe tapping on the frets to seat them better before you do the extra step of sanding and then recrowning the frets
@@kymberlybyers6218 that would be great if you could! 🙂 Also, do you happen to know the final weight of the guitar? Sorry for all the questions. 😬 Thanks!
Nathan, I checked the radius, and it is definitely 16 inches. Also the guitar weighs 7 lbs 11oz. I did add the Bigsby, which according to a Google search weighs 12.5 Oz. Good luck with your kit. Hopefully you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
@@kymberlybyers6218 so the 7 lbs 11oz includes the weight of the Bigsby? (That’s great: I plan on adding one to mine too). Thank you SO much for going through the effort to get this information. I definitely appreciate it!
China Groove! ❤️
Interesting video, nice job.
Looks like fun :)
What was the point of buying the kit if you were just going to swap out half the parts anyways? You Shou have just done it from nothing. You have all these tools and all that wood and did what someone else did. It just doesn't make sense to order a kit then swap out all the parts.
You are correct the goal is to do it from nothing. The point of the kit was to learn electric guitars. I'm not a guitarist, and I needed a benchmark. I'm already working on one from scratch, but I needed something to learn from.
Awesome rock on
The B7 will fit the 335, but not with the Vibramate mounting unit. You can use a B6, (tailpiece mounted) but it has no tension bar.
The B7 definitely would have fit if I had moved it further back but then I would have had the stop tailpiece holes and bushings still in the kit. As it is I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Nice work! I'd have liked a little more color in the finish but that's a personal preference. As for using the wrong Bigsby for that type of guitar....live and learn. You made it work which is cool even if it sets off the Asperger/OCD part of my brain.
nice job !
GOD BLESS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
Nice.
Wow what an amazing trip
Very cool....very cool...thanks man...🙏✌️♥️🇺🇸 Must be great cigars!
Promo`SM 😏
Just got one, looking for rudder info, mine has no ropes to foot pegs, and not sure how they're set up if at all. Doent look like they had them originally.
I know those waters well and you did a fantastic, serious trip. Well done.
I am looking for fun rides with my new fat tire bike. What trails would you recommend in Fort Wayne? Thank you. 😁
that peanut butter taped to the front, there's no way on the planet i woulda thought of that. badass.
I love that setup 8:25. I have a bag like that but sideways and in the front
what kind of camera were you using?
I kept skipping over your vlog when googling trans am stuff, but this is pretty good. It must have taken a lot of energy to have shot those videos and ride.
cool trans am vlog
I just bought one of these in the Tampa area, I love it.
great video. sitting here in WV on Christmas Day with my Maine Trial guide, and two fiberglasss kayaks in mid completion, dreaming of a very similar trip. so I really want to thank you for the resource and inspiration. cheers.
Thank you so much for watching the video. This particular trip was so empowering and one of the highlights of my life. I look forward to the day that I have the opportunity to return and paddle more of the Maine Coast. I am also currently living in West Virginia in Grafton which is also near Fairmont. If you're ever up in this neck of the woods, look up the Fairmont Floatilla on Facebook and come paddle with us sometime.
I’m local to you, love Jason and Pike St, is this a single trail and is it on Strava or Garmin?
Liked the review, very thorough. I'm loving this bike. Got some saving to do though.. Thank you.
How much did you purchase it for?
"If I can help other people, that's good for me." Love it! Thanks for the video.
Great, inspiring video - thank you Kymberly! I am considering a Cutthroat, although most of my riding is single day, on an unloaded or lightly loaded bike. I am wondering if there is any merit in a 2x drive train instead of 1x. Any thoughts?
Personally I find the 1x system enough for me. I can not see myself ever converting back to 2x because I just don't see the advantage since the 1x systems have plenty of range.
@@kymberlybyers6218 I initially thought a 2x would give more versatility for when I'm doing more paved road sections. However, it's surprising how much effect the large tyre size has on increasing the gear inches. For example, a 46/11 top gear (in a 2x system) with a 29x2" tyre gives about 120 gear inches which is way over-geared for this bike in my opinion. So I may instead do as you have and look at 1x. As you show in this video, the low gears are more important for such a bike.
Paul. As for me, owning a couple bikes of each I will say that the gear range on a 1x12 is no issue but the difference I find and can be a blessing on certain trails is the fact that the jump to each gear is less aggressive. This keeps my cadence smoother and I find myself getting less fatigued over a longer distance.
Hello, what seat bag did you use on this Trek Domane?? What model domane is it??
That creek is 7 minutes from my house. Those donkeys are on the road I live on!
So cool! Loved biking your road! So scenic!
I’ve been thinking of getting into gravel biking and bikepacking. And stumbled across your video. Small world.
@@brucedavis1744 you definitely live in one of the best gravel riding places in the United States. The time I spent in Tennessee greatly increased my gravel riding skills and pleasure. Check out the Hickman County gravel riders Facebook page for some people to connect with for some fantastic routes and guidance in getting started.
I owned one back in the early 90's. A great boat that I miss and wish I had never sold. Paddled primarily on the Hudson River - made a trip from Albany / Erie Canal first 3 locks and ended in NYC. I think I read somewhere that the company that originally made the boats closed down and they moved to Kansas for awhile but not definite on that.
Your correct that the Dirigo Boatworks moved to Kansas. Peter Chase and Elliott Speer sold the rights to Dirigo Boatworks to Mike Wigglesworth who moved the company to Which at all with the idea that that is where the aerospace industry was and composite technology was being developed
We love blue hill. Want to retire there
You mentioned in your review your modification to add a 52 rear sprocket. Do you have a link to that modification kit. You indicated you had one of the shifters modified as well. Thanks!
Try this link ratiotechnology.com/product/12-speed-upgrade-kit/ This conversion is a bit involved, but the outcome is definitely worth the effort
@@kymberlybyers6218 thank you!
@@kymberlybyers6218 it’s funny because I’ve been looking to modify my 2020 Salsa for some lower gears. I even asked my bike-shop guy who told me I would have to replace the brakes, shifters and derailer in order to get a 50 sprocket in the rear. I googled your recommendation, however, and several articles also came up that confirmed for me that it was a reliable and practical way to remedy the problem. It’s also far less expensive than the alternative. I rode 1/2 the Great Divide this summer and the climbs with a loaded bike would have been more manageable with some lower gears. The videos on the site you provided were also quite helpful. Prior to your video above, I simply did not find this product or references to it, on any of my google searches. It just didn’t come up. Thank you! Can you give me a link to the rear sprocket you used? That would also be much appreciated. Thanks, Bret
@@BretSchnitzer Sram makes a couple of different quality levels of 10-52 cassettes. I'd have to call Jason at Pike Street Bikes to know which cassette he installed.
That is one nice looking bike. I think this is going to be my choice for 2022. Cool video.
I haven't used flashing lights in 30yrs. It's common knowledge in safety that flashing light causes wrecks. Some jurisdictions dont allow flashing lights on bikes cuz people steer towards them, especially impaired drivers. Solid lights only.
I have a pink one as well you have to see it in person video does not do it justice
That bridge is beautiful…great shot.
I thought this was a bicycle review? Not a electronic charger review. Thanks anyway.
The Maine coast is amazing!! There are so many islands to camp on and explore. Im from Massachusetts and do a lot of bike touring,I spend as much time as I can in Maine..The weather can change in an instant but I know you are more than prepared...You are gong to love it! I can't wait for your videos...be safe and have a blast!
Thank you for watching this video. I'm extremely excited to paddle the Maine Island Trail and take my bikepacking and hiking experience to a new level. Returning this Dirigo Boatworks kayak to its native waters is a dream come true.
BTW, good job on your video! I'm guessing you were on a bike? Not sure why you don't have a thousand likes? But then again, I was raised in Whitley CO! I've been watching videos like yours where people show the area they live. Like yours, and I thought shit let's check out my town! Yours was the best! If you would ride down Polk rd , from the dirt road and the tracks, I would be a forever fan! Great job!
I'll definitely ride down Polk Rd once I return from my next adventure. Look for me sometime in September.
If you want a less traveled road, check out Polk rd. Heading to South Whitley.
Hi there, we are currently restoring a Dirigo (in Aruba!), also not finding any relevant info. Could you send me some pics of the rudder-setup?
I can send you some images of the rudder. If you give me the serial number, I'll reach out to Elliott Speer the business partner of Peter Chase the designer. According to Elliott there were a couple different rudder designs. Also, could you please email me a few pictures of your Dirigo? Kymberlysroad@gmail.com
Love your video, can’t wait to ski there next winter. The people seem really friendly. You are certainly decked out with the super fancy helmet and sweet Hestra gloves. You show night skiing at Silver Creek also, I think. Nice. If you have a dent in your helmet from a fall, you might want to get a new one. Cheers
Very cool review. Nice to see an honest review from a youtuber who didn’t get everything free through sponsorship. Just found your page, I’ll be checking out your other videos.
Phuck, thanks for watching.
