If You're So Smart... Tell Stew Mac What You Think Of This Tool

  • Several years ago, I had a custom tool made for me that makes one of my least favorite inlay tasks easy as pie. I even made a video about it and still get questions from viewers wanting to buy one. I always thought that Stew Mac should sell them since they have lots more juice than I do when it comes to guitar building tools.
    I have been talking with Erick at Stew Mac and am getting ready to send him a prototype. Since I don’t live close to Ohio this video will serve as a way to help the people in product development get an idea of the market for my idea. With your help we can generate a little buzz and… who knows? Maybe, one day, you will see something like this in the pages of the worlds largest collection of guitar building tools.
    Many thanks for the inspiration should go to Rick Maguire, the first time I ever saw something like this to make inlay easy...rickmaguireguit...

    Hey Matt…. that looks way easier than doing it freehand !!!! You're 100% right about being able to have multiple templates that work with the same base….. blocks, split diamonds, parallelograms ….. even simple dots could work … I'd buy one for sure. if Stewmac doesn't pick them up you should definitely sell them through the Texas Toast website…..seriously … I'm ready to order !!!!

  • @barryharrell3355

    Hey StewMac, over 400 thumbs up on this video. Looks like people are interested this product. If StewMac doesn't pick it up, then you are correct Sir - NO-brain-er! I want one and why stop with just Gibson? They could sell them for all types of inlays and attract all kinds of new business. Not to mention spin off sales for inlays, Dremel tools, bits, router bases, clamps, files, chisels, fret boards, radius files, and CA... The list goes on and on. Heck, if they don't take it up, buy a CNC machine, make them yourself and sell them to builders and supply re-salers and on Reverb and Amazon. I know I want one and StewMac gets a lot of money. Bet they would be happy to take some more. .Love your videos, keep'm coming.

I hope Stew mac picks up your design and can sell it at a reasonable price or if not , maybe you could find a company to produce them for you so you could sell them reasonably and still make some money. Either way , I'm definitely interested in getting one. Maybe even a two pack for Gibson and fender scale with also for the first fret inlay rout.

    Yes! As you eluded to (I think), also provide additional shapes and fretboard scales. As another commenter suggested, include the first fret as well ... leave it up to the luthier to include it or not. Even providing just the router base would be great, along with fretboard length template blanks so we can make our own. Great idea!! If StewMac passes, and you can find someone to manufacture for you, I'd be a happy buyer!

  • @gerthalberg9735
    @gerthalberg9735 5 лет назад

    Very Nice idea and I guess if you have the inclination to do so you could go bonkers if you had access to a CNC router to cut new templates for the router base (or StewMac could make them) You could even use the template to cut the inlay material with a smaller template collar in the base or a template with (twice the collar thickness) slightly bigger cutouts

    • @TexasToastGuitars
      @TexasToastGuitars  5 лет назад

      Of course, if you had access to a CNC you could just have it cut your inlay... I hear you though.
      We have made a jig for my beloved pin router that does this same thing, the only downside is you have to have a pin router to use it. This is a handy tool for the small shop or the guy who is making his own Les Paul style guitar. I know I say something like this and stole the idea because I wished I could buy one.

The customer could then easily print it out and make our own templates off that. Minimal work for you, we get an awesome handmade jig of our own, may not be a “Million Dollar” idea, but something that you could clearly sell a lot of. My two sense anyways.

    Yes please, I build a lot of guitars with traps and would really appreciate and use the heck out of that setup. Not to mention I own every other StewMac tool so of coarse I would have to get a couple of these as well. Having one for the shorter, vintage scale length like for 59's would be great not to mention a custom block inlay version would be great too. Great job on the design Matt.

    What size router bit is that designed for? It looks like a fairly small one, less than 1/16", and that's a lot of wood to hog out. I could see recommending using a 1/8" bit first to get out most of the material before using the small bit to hit the outlines and do the finishing cut. That could save snapping a bit or three.

    • @TexasToastGuitars
