I’m glad you explained this.

The big advantage of the jig-set-up is that even when the thickness of the wood should vary slightly, the remaining web is still the same thickness. Thanks for the video

Nearly all my acoustics have cedar tops!

Great methods! The first method is all I need, but that jig was fun to watch in operation! Thank you!

Cool shirt

I mostly agree with the pragmatic Luthier. He has a very nice looking work space.

One reason mahogany became the traditional ineck wood is its great stability . lamination may be necessary with some non traditional woods that tend move around more with changes in humidity .

There are two different wheel types, one like shown here which is crowned and the other is flat and requires an entirely different approach to tracking. Why aren't both discussed?

This was very helpful. I appreciate the information greatly. Keep the information coming please.

Thanks for sharing. The low tesion build is a great idea. I'd live to hear both of those guitars. Is the classical going to be spruce if cedar topped? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I have the same bandsaw as you, and I equipped it with a one inch carbide tipped blade that is wickedly scary! I’ve been collecting logs and have been rough ripping them to around 1-1/2 thick boards for drying. I learned a lot from your video and will be doing my final milling soon. Thanks for your expertise.

Great tutorial on cauls and clamping, however you've obviously missed the application of the glue. It would be nice to add a supplement of that process. Otherwise great video!

Lenox has many blades to choose from. I’ve contacted them via an online form which one I need. Maybe it would be easier if you could please specifically describe which blades you’re using. I got my Harvey mostly for resawing and have managed to trash a number of blades and am gaining on it, slowly. The tip of how to properly tension the blade sounds good. My blades sing/moan as I’m sawing. They’re probably too tight. Thx for the help.

thank you sr. Excellent vidio!!!

Direct, practical and very usefull information, brought in the most polite way possible. New subscriber!

😁

I like the carbide Laguna Resaw King blade. Cuts like a hot knife thru butter. Very expensive but worth it in my opinion.

Thanks Kevin, greatly appreciate the information including the recommended video. Fairly new to resawing. I now understand the issues leading to my past mistakes. Can’t wait to try again. Got trust anyone named Kevin, signed Kevin 😊

Well done !

Kevin, I found that a Farrier's rasp is very useful to "hog off" a lot of material quickly. Even when they're too dull for hooves they still cut wood very well and most Farriers will give them away for free or a coffee!

I found setting up a sliding table worked best for me. Sharp blades are very important, started sharpening my own.

Very cool jig.

I’m curious. What is the measurement that determines basswood is acoustically dead? Would balsa wood be even deader?

Thank you, I'm 78 and basically new to finer wood working in my recent retirement. My bandsaw has been the least used machine in my shop simply because of my lack of experience. Tried to saw some Purple Heart and it was a miserable experience since I was using a blade with too many teeth per inch as if I was cutting steel I've work with for years. Think your video will be very helpful and I have subscribed.

Great idea, u are a very creative woodworker

LMAO ur awesome I love it ,I can't tell you which repair I like the most though it's a tough call lol

If it helps, one eighth of an inch is about 3.2mm, so 5/8 in is 16mm...

Great video Kev.

Wow. A great video Kevin. This opened my eyes and think this is going to solve some of my problems

Thanks for the explanation on why you scrape around the perimeter of the underside of the bridge. That sort of explains why I had a bridge pop off from a recent build.

I appreciate the easy to follow advice and honest feedback on the blades

I really enjoy stupid sharp chisels but for some reason i can't get my plane blades to the stupid sharp stage and I'm not sure y

Kevin u are an awesome down to earth definitely pragmatic and u give me so much inspiration I wish I lived in Triangle New York I would love to meet u in person but I can't do thank goodness for you tube

Great video! I especially like your idea of waste fretboard before you add glue to the fret. I will be adding that to my fretting process. Apparently there is no problem with the glue holding even if there is some wax in the kerf. Secondly I like making that little file and your jigs you use to fret. I have been concerned about setting the frets over the guitar down by the sound hole. Thanks again

I agree with your thoughts on bandsaw blades. Ive been using Starret blades for a number of years now. Ive found them to be very reasonably priced, and they cut (resaw) very well, and are quite long lasting. I personally cut a lot of oak.

Sound advice that is obviously gained from experience. Thank you.

Hi Kevin, I checked out the bandsaw sales place and found : Lenox FLEX BACK Carbon Steel Band Saw Blades 2 TPI .032 THK. Is this the blade you are talking about?

Very helpful to see simple and jig based options!

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to show us your methods.

Made them myself for years, but so much work ... now I buy from Aliexpress, 20 strips for 21€, nice sapele. Real good quality and well sawn. Very good video though!

Brilliant practical advice for anyone who or and a bandsaw. I have nothing like your experience but a would agree that paying extra for a blade that is maybe eight thou thinner is probably not good sense for the amount of wood saved in resawing a 5/4 inch board. Also paying a lot extra for bi-metal or cobalt tipped triple hardened points has neither worked for me. A good carbon steel blade 3 tpi made well with carefully ground welds often lasts longer and can be nearly 30% of the price asked for the latest ‘go faster’ blade. Great video thank you.

What a fun jig! Real engineering there. Great video, thanks.

I have a 000 steel wool fret kit to complete the package

Hello Kevin, thank you so much for showing us your two methods of cutting kerfed linings! I noticed you have a drum sander with one end open. Are you able to adjust it such that you can sand tops and backs with no taper? I am interested in the Jet 1836 drum sander. Thank you again!

Everything looks great!

Hi Kevin, I stumbled on to your channel and I really appreciate your approach to guitar making! I am 73 years old and when I first became interested in guitar building the only book I could find on the subject was Irving Slone. I was raised in Kansas so I was totally infatuated with the S.L.Mossman company, in fact I have owned two of their guitars, also have known a couple of the employees at the factory when they were still in business. Anyway I said all that to say I’ve built several guitars but nothing lately but you have rekindled my interest! I need something to do anyway! I’ve grown to used to my recliner!!! Thank you for your channel! Thanks again, Ed Paine

Thank you very much sir! I learn a lot from you! The difference in tone produced by each type of wood is incredible! They all produce incredible sounds! I really liked it! I follow your channel in Brazil.

Thanks for all the videos. They are a great help to a lot of people ! Especially me

Nice Jig! You got my wheels going , now!

I just got a carbide 3 tpi blade. This works very well. Have you tried those?
