Another example of your own way of getting to a great finish and shape . National guitars had ( I think new NRP and Michael Messer now have) tapered sides. One thing you could do is anneal the brass to make shaping the back quicker. Pete T
Pete you were the one that got me thinking about the tapered sides, I think you mentioned the idea several episodes back. One thing I like about the tapered sides is ultimately I could have a shallower neck angle which would help the fretboard to body joint look a little nicer and not need a wedge or have the fretboard fall off at such an extreme angle at the 14th fret. I'm pretty sure the tapered sides will be normal for me moving forward, probably do the same thing on the mild steel model as well. I haven't determined the ideal amount of taper yet tho. Thanks again for all the input, you have shared a lot of great knowledge with me.
Great episode James! Hopefully the roller part of that 3 in 1 unit will work so it's not a total loss. I hate fighting with cheap tools. Good progress on this guitar. Did the skate board wheel give you the desired effect?
Yes the skateboard wheel definitely smoothed out that channel and took some of the waveyness (is that a word?) out of it. One thing I cut from the video was I tried to use my bead roller as an english wheel also. Having the larger skateboard wheel on bottom and the smaller 1" die on the top I rolled the back through it a bunch to see if it would curve it any. It didn't do much to curve it but it did smooth it out some.
Yep, I realized that when I struggled to cut that part. I will probably just move it some and lock it back down. When it slides freely it hits the bench and makes it really hard to use. It probably needs a stand of some sort but it would be much harder to store away in my small space if it was on a stand. It's a cool little machine but I need to spend some time with it.
being into history as well as guitars, watched a documentary on copper scrolls and they archaeologists had a go at replication, and explained the more you work copper the harder and more brittle it becomes ad it has to be annealed, brass being copper and zinc, would this help?? Loving the vids!
I was wondering that myself. I'm not experienced enough to know when it is getting to the point that it's hard to work. I've seen the MakeitKustom guy talk about that before with mild steel and he showed how to anneal it, but I can't tell yet when I'm at that point. Thanks for the thoughts, I'll do a little research and see what I can learn about it.
@@Ninety2guits am really looking forward to see the rest of this build, I don't know why but this brass one really grabbed my attention! AS ALWAYS GREAT WORK!
Great video as usual, Thanks for posting, I know filming and editing can be tedious and adds a lot more work to your already busy schedule so thanks again for sharing your work!👍👍👍
Thank you. I'm starting to get in a rhythm with the video filming part, but the editing still takes longer than doing the actual guitar work. It's given me an appreciation for well produced/edited shows and I try to pick up little tricks here and there. This whole project from building resonators to filming, editing and posting videos has been a massive learning curve for me. Kinda fun tho!

Another great video - good to see progress. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks, will do!
it's looking great
That back looks awesome! Very cool that its that strong considering how thin that brass is.
Looks good! Takes lots of patience and time. Look forward see more content.
Much appreciated!
Cant wait for the next one😅
Man, I am happy to see this!
Kerry!!! Did you win the lottery yet? I think that Cracker cover is super fun.
Pure chinesium. That break bender has to be dialed in and then it will be worth having. Another exellent episode. I got some catching up to do.
That's a cool machine, I'm sure that as you get used to it, you'll fine tune it to perfection
That's what I'm hoping, I think the slip roll is where the value will come in for me and I haven't had a chance to use that part yet. Thanks.
