Fantastic look at making to most of the band saw. And the traditional dry Brit humor adds something to the presentation.. really enjoyed filling that box with clamps..and I bet you were glad when that was done.. obviously the mahogany will add the necessary tonewood for a darker tone to complement the maple.. just kidding .. but I bet it bends a bit easier and glues up better.. you gave me a great idea for trimming up the base of my rounded staircase.. I was wondering how I was going to trim out that curve.. thanks mate..!!
fastest 15 minutes in video! i've rewired the electronics on a few 335's for people and have used aquarium tubing, string, custom bent wire, fish tape, and a dozen other things to try and make rewiring easier. not happening. i've always thought if i had the opportunity to scratch build a 335 i'd prewire everything i could ( pots, switches, pickups, jack etc) before i put the skins on the framework. fishing stuff through "f" holes is a real challenge. the access hole on the center block is a good idea but still requires fishing things around. it'll be interesting to see how it works out. long live the kerfolux 2000!
Thanks Rick, I generally use dental floss for my fishing jobs. It's a bit of a fiddle but usually get there in the end. I want to try the tubing technique at some point. Your right about fishing through F holes though, horrible job :)
Love the kerf jig - neat. Sell it to Stewmac! I'm a fan of using clothes pegs too - much cheaper than clamps. Good trick with the elastic bands. In case it helps anyone, instead of holding things together, you can also use the opposite end of the peg - the 'handle' end - to hold things apart. This can be handy when e.g. gluing something to the inner wall of an aperture. Another very enjoyable video, thanks. This guitar is coming along great.
The simplicity of the kerffing jig is a beautiful thing. I used the same type of clamps on my first build and half way through #2 bought some cheap spring clamps. Might get them in a video someday.
Thanks Dane, I was really happy with the way the jig worked, took a bit of practice but once I got the hang of it things became easy. I'll let you know how the clothes pins work :)
Definitely stealing the kerfing jig idea when I make my first acoustic. That's just simple and genius with consistent repeatability! Yet another 15 minutes of pleasure that was over way too quickly!
Wow, this is a faster way to make kerfing from scratch! Thank you for a great video!!
Thanks for watching, hope it helps.
Steady as she goes..... My favorite of all your builds
Thanks Jurgen, this is my most enjoyable build to date.

Thanks mate. Yes, I've had better half hours than putting the rubber bands on. Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

Thanks Phil, that is a great idea to use the pegs the other way around, nicking that :)
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams You're welcome. You don't even need to credit me :)
I think the kerfing jig is brilliant and it just happens I have some spare mahogany too. Happy days :) another great video.
Thanks mate, the jig worked really well :)

Thanks Paul, it really made things easy and speeded the job up no end.
I remember when everything from the future had a 2000 suffix :) Excellent.
Happy memories of not very good gadgets :)
Really enjoying this series! Very inspiring sir!
Thanks Pete, that's great to hear :)
Kerfolux 2000, 😂
:))
Does Mrs Dream shed know you've knocked all her pegs and intending to abuse them? (I suggest you prepare an apology immediately!) 😊👍
Haha, I still haven't returned the iron yet. I'm starting to think she is sending the washing out!!
