Rausch Guitars (ex handtoolbuilds)
Германия
Добавлен 26 июл 2020
My story begins where my profound love of guitars crossed paths with my hobby of restoring vintage woodworking tools. After collecting and restoring a few lovely old handplanes, I wanted to use them to build something more complicated than my usual test pieces. And as I've been obsessed with guitars since my teens, the obvious choice was to build a guitar.
The first build was surprisingly good, and that spawned a new obsession with guitar construction and design. More guitar builds quickly followed, exploring new design ideas and challenging myself with better construction techniques and more complicated builds.
A few years and guitars later brings us to the present. Where I'm offering bespoke, handmade instruments based on the requirements and dreams of the player. Each guitar I create is a testament to the creativity and individuality of its owner. No two are alike because I believe that every player deserves an instrument as unique as their music.

The Archtop: My last hand tool build
Over the last few years, I've proven to myself that I can build professional quality guitars using only hand tools. I've also come to the realisation that hand tool building, while great for my enjoyment and my ego, brings little benefit to the guitar I'm building.
As I'm taking on my first commissions, my focus is shifting away from hand tool building, and towards building guitars at the highest possible quality, regardless of the tools involved.
The Archtop features a German spruce top, Swiss service tree back and sides, a mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, ebony bridge and black limba and aluminium accents.

Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see a 1 hour version with subtitles about the process. I've been meaning to try a 7-string guitar for a while now. Instead of just buying one from the store down the road, I spent about 2 months and way too much money building my own. Whil...

Antique hand-cranked drill press restoration
Просмотров 8 тыс.2 года назад
In this video I'm restoring my antique Ixion hand-cranked drill press. Figuring out an exact year, although the best guess would date it somewhere in the 1940's. The drill was still functioning well. Having bought it used about 2 years ago though, I had no idea when last it received any type of maintenance. In order to avoid future issues, I decided to strip is down and re-grease everything. I ...

Now that the body is complete, it’s time to finish the neck for my Great Guitar Build Off entry. I wasn’t happy with my work on the truss rod access hole. Even though you don’t see it normally, I knew it wasn’t neat enough for my expectations, so the first step was to fix it. I removed some material with my chisels, then cut some reclaimed mahogany to size.I drilled a hole through the middle of...

Arbor press restoration using hand tools only
everything was exelent until i watch those huge neck, omg looks hard to play with.
what was that tool you used to cut the depth of the pickup cutouts?
That's called a router plane, they're awesome!
@@rauschguitars thank you thank you. i’ll definitely look into getting one, im trying to build a guitar and don’t have a router so that will be very handy
Great build, awesome guitar!
Thank you!
Wow! Exactly what i have in mind! A headless archtop! Nice!
Thank you
Holyo f^&*k this turned out way different than I had imagined when I clicked on the vid! Great aesthetic blend of traditional and modern, really fantastic!
Thank you! That's exactly what I was aiming for.
Such a nice tooyls
Yes they are!
Great build mate! Can't wait what you will accomplish using some power tools in the future!
After this one I think a simple solid body electric would be a nice change 😂
@@rauschguitars Seems to be a lot easier. Just pour some epoxy into it, and it will get a million views ^^
How beautiful...💜
Thank you
why last tool building ?? i really happy saw you do it .... thank a lot of , couse I can take the knowledge that is shown
My goals are changing, and so is my tooling. I'm adding some power tools for better end results.
@@rauschguitars What goal are you looking for, aren't hand tools of better value than the results from power tools?
@@coyinkPLUR Since I'm moving into commissioned builds, my focus is on creating incredible instruments regardless of tooling. Hand tools are great for my ego, but don't make a better (or worse) guitar than power tools.
I like the sounds of hand tools being used to make a musical instrument. It is refreshing in contrast with most maker videos that are just the sound of power tools, with a heavy guitar soundtrack. It's being in a traditional craftsman's workshop.
So I’ve been pondering the style of guitar I wanted to build next…I wanted it to be different but still traditional in a lot of ways…and I started landing on something similar to this…you have no idea how cool it was to randomly see this thumbnail show up in my feed!! Yours looks incredible!! I may have to adopt a few details of your design into mine 👀
Thanks! The combination of headless, the chunky neck block, and the heavy tailpiece, gives the guitar reverse neck dive - which is more annoying that regular neck dive. Pay attention to the balance if you're going headless.
Enjoying your videos! I totally understand that relying solely on hand tools can be physically demanding. Using more tools allows you to conserve your energy for focusing on the more detail parts, which is a significant advantage. Looking forward to seeing your next build!
Thank you!
What is that neck profile? Why did you choose to go for a flat, angled profile? How does it feel to play?
I've built a few guitars with the trapezoid profile, I find it really comfortable.
Buy an electrical saw
I did. It's noisy.
Amazing craftsmanship and what a beautiful guitar. I hope you have plans to share more videos of you building instruments with hand tools. I aspire to build mostly, if not exclusively, with hand tools and watching your videos taught me a lot. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thanks for watching!
I'm very late to this but I wanted to ask what kind of dye you used?
I used TLC Guitar Goods concentrated stains. I think the colours were Atol and Prussian blue.
Your really good at this how long you been doing this for
When I built this one, I had about 3 years of practice.
what drill press did you use?
That's an antique Ixion drill. They're quite rare unfortunately.
I also build solely by hand, not in it for the money, but more for the craftmanship, and to play a guitar i made completely with only hand tools, the way i learned to use them on carpenter school when i was younger.
Insane build! And just volume knob? I’m assuming for the purest wood tone from the pickups? I’ve had the blueprints of my dream guitar for a while now, this video sounds like a hint..
Thank you.
How much does this thing weigh? I need to bring one back on a plane...
Can't remember exactly, but I think it's around 20kg.
Incredible! Truly handmade with dedication, tremendous skill and damn hard work! And beautiful design and sound.
Thank you!
97-Year-Old NYC Builder Still Serves Their 7-String the Old Fashioned Way

@@rauschguitars absolutely gorgeous Guitar! I have built some of my own, from kits, and from bare necks and bodies. I’ve even done multiple upgrades to some of my regular guitars. I have some of those on my channel. If you’d like to check them out. ☮️💜😊
incredible work, my sincere admiration.
Thank you very much!
Those shoulders at the capped headstock are a great improvement over Bodens!
My guitars hang on the wall, so it just makes sense to me.
used to use a mother in laws tounge many years ago making staircases

"The next 5 months was spent applying, removing and re-applying various different finishes." OMG this made me laugh. I do basic DIY kit/parts builds and it rang so true. A lot of the mechanical aspects of making the guitar work are actually straightforward. Difficult and painstaking at times, but straightforward. The *aesthetic* aspect though? Maddening.
It's so frustrating, because even if your woodwork is perfect, a shoddy finish will make the project look terrible.
@@rauschguitars YUP. And it's not only shoddy finishing, but poor aesthetic choices (which sure, is subjective, but we're talking about the middle of the bell curve) will also do that.
Bonsoir c’est la premier vidéo que je regarde vous m’avez sapée le moral.je suis fatigué à vous regarder c’est quand même surprenant que cette vidéo a sur moi j’ai l’impression que c’est moi qui travail bref un grand respect pour vous et votre travail et pour tout les anciens merci belle vidéo .je ne sais pas si je vais pouvoir regarder tout la vidéo je suis fatigué lol un grand merci. un très beau métier et un grand savoir merciiiiii👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋🏻♂🙋🏻♂🙋🏻♂🙋🏻♂🙋🏻♂🙋🏻♂🪚✏🔨🗜🪚🪓
Cool !
Thanks!
We're not worthy!!!! 🤙
Thanks, party on!
Did you use any templates for the guitar?
Only the body shape and fretboard were designed on computer and printed.
what is the name of that tool you made the slot for the tensioner?
I used a plough plane here, but a router plane will also do the job.
There is nothing like the hollow whir of a hand drill . . .
So what did you use fore the press. I'm actually wanting to build with only hand tools. If your on Facebook maybe we can share ideas.. Great job. New sub..
The press is an old arbor press that I restored in an older video.
That's worth paying for, hand made takes skill and experience.
Thank you
Where or how did you get thin wood? I have 7 or 6mm wood and I need it to be 3mm for the guitar top. Any ideas?
You'll need to thin it down with a planer or sander of some sort. I used a handplane, but there are machines that do it quickly as well. I don't think I've ever found 3mm top/back woods for sale.
Love your channel. I hope I can start making my own guitars using hand tools in the future. Is there any chance you'll build a fender style guitar?
I do have some design ideas that go in that direction, but don't expect a Strat or Tele from me any time soon.
What's that tool called that you used to route the truss rod slot?
It's called a router plane.
I notice all your saws cut on the up stroke. Japanese style right?
Yes, I prefer Japanese saws for no real reason except that I'm used to them.
This tool is perfect !!! 💪👍🎸🤘
Superbe 😍
Congrat's ! This is hand made Kraft... And a good brain. I spent some time on YT for guitars kit and 7 strings. Surely the reason witch YT show me your work. I'm not a wood worker, I beggin to play guitar but I am extremely interested by this object, sound creation and technical solutions. You proof what is possible withe low coast and good motivation. You inspired me ! Thanks (Sorry to language, I'm Frog ! 🇨🇵 )
Thank you so much!
Great job and great video!
Thank you!
I didn't understand why,,you cut all the wood,,and then stuck it in the ears?
It's easier to plane the neck and fretboard straight when the headstock isn't in the way.
Kinda funny how you are building an electric guitar using no electricity
Yup, I like to do things that make no sense!
Wonderfull works!! What do you call 12:16 this tool?
That's a radius beam, used to sand the radius into the fretboard.
Thak you :)
I love that drill press! what are those called? I can never use a spoke shave on the push stroke..unless it is set super shallow :)
The drill was made by a German company, Ixion, presumably somewhere in the 40's or 50's. They're quite rare.
@@rauschguitars That's convenient, I live in germany :)..I need to start looking around...
