The chances of me ever cutting a fretboard for frets or binding is pretty much nil - I’m barely a hobbyist modifier (although I did fit a Floyd Rose to a guitar that didn’t come with one, so I’m basically a luthier now), but your knowledge and the way you impart it through your videos is invaluable. I’ve learned a ton over the last couple years watching you and Chris. Plus now and again I get to ask a daft question 😁
Thanks for watching Matt, you never know when you might take the plunge. Of course... you could always join us for a workshop. Then you absolutely do all that stuff.
What make/model/year is your radial arm saw? I built this jig last year but the saw I used could not be made to run square no matter how much you adjusted it. Over time the bearings go bad and these saws will sag.
@@aaronenright8880 personally speaking as a RAS user, i find the older cast iron top saws are much more stable and safer then the later 70s and up models. they cut rather then binding. binding a ras by forcing the feed rate of the cut is what gets you into trouble.the newer saws have to much flex and wiggle room for error...look for MR sawdust videos on setup and RAS table builds! he was the KING of RAS saws.
It would be interesting to see a video when building a Les Paul style neck on the pinrouter, well, or as much as it´s possible to route on a pin router on those necks. Thanks for a great video..
Good job Matt. I hadn't noticed how much you guys have changed the way your making your guitars now. Your gonna have to to refilm all your older videos now lol.
@@TexasToastGuitars …if the pins were located from the centre line of the jig, not an edge, wouldn’t it still allow you to use both? …unless I’m missing something??? …which wouldn’t be the first time…
@@howardwhitehead5927 The nut locations aren't in the same place. It's kinda like the nut on the 24.75 scale is close to the 24th frets on the 24.625 scale
I wonder how many subs recognize your theme song’s Cliff Gallop licks and Blue Caps sound? It would be so cool if you created a TT model that emulated that 6128 Duo Jet tone 😊

Funny you should ask... we have a few things like that coming pretty soon. Not right away, but pretty soon
@@TexasToastGuitars Thats great.. :D
That’s some “Wham bam thank you ma’am” action right there😜😹
The radial arm saw setup has intrigued me for quite some time. If I had the space to house that setup, I'd for sure move in that direction. 😎
I love this idea. Are you guys basing the neck placement on the slotting template off a predetermined centerline on the metal template.
Great process Matt!
Interested in your radial saw model.. is that just the old school craftsman 10”? Great video. You guys do a great job!!
I don't know what model it is
Great video Matt Thanks. And great T-shirt, an MP-5 with the original slimline fore end, COOL!!
I mean, if you ever watched Navy SEALs...
cool video Matt 👍
Thanks very cool
Thanks so much Matt. That was great!
You are certainly welcome Gary

I think you are right sir, and onto something. We have talked about redoing a bunch of videos recently
alguien sabe las características de la hoja de sierra que ocupa? muchas gracias
Maschinenpistole Matt!
Now that's a long nickname... in the finest German tradition.
Matt, what do you do with the 2 holes left by the locator pins when you shape the neck?
@@peteweston4628 those are cute away when you shape the neck.
They are only. 25 deep
@@TexasToastGuitars thanks for the clarification. I was confused thinking they were deeper, all the way thru. Thanks again!! Keep up the great videos!
Great vid as always… If you had fixed pins on your fret slotting jig thingy, you wouldn’t have to mess around with the dowels 😉
That is true, however, if I did that I couldn't use the 24.625 side

@@TexasToastGuitars ah, I’m with you …yea you’d need 2 jigs. I’m guessing you’d have to personally pleasure Mr MacDonald himself to get another one… 😉

I had no idea myself sir. My very good friend Bret Hagen wrote that song over 20 years ago. We would need to ask him.
