I used one of those drill bits to drill bridge post holes too. It wobbled a lot more than I expected. Next time I think I will invest in a wood specific Brad point bit.
I agree with the statement in the video: "this is NOT the right way to do this... NOT a good idea." Not even for a scrap wood guitar. Nice build though, up to the point it gets chucked into the fire and cracks up. :)
I Dig It! ......I Myself Would've Taken A Wire Wheel To The Body After Burning The Wood Grain....A Lot Of The Char Would Be Removed & Nice Deep Flowing Grain Structure Would Pop....... Regardless... Nice Work!
I toriffy wood often. Pine is not the ideal wood though. Red Birch is my favorite wood to fire treat and poplar isn't bad either. It makes it silky smooth and looks like ebony from a distance anyway.
@@officerfredrenz They do sell templates for electric guitars! Or you can just make your own. I drew mine for this video and then cut it out and used it as a template so I could build identical ones in the future. You might try this website, it has pdf plans of a lot of different guitars. www.electricherald.com/guitar-templates/
EXCELLENT WORK, but those woods are not very convincing, especially the neck. Since those woods are not of good quality, much less stationary, it will not have that rigidity that will make this beautiful guitar last for years.
Something else that wasn’t a great idea here- the crosscut at about 0:40 with the fence in place. I can see that the workpiece is not actually contacting the fence as the cut is made, but the fence is still close enough that any of the offcut pieces could easily get twisted into a place where they could be caught between the fence and the blade and kicked back at the operator of the saw.
Hey thanks for looking out for my fingers! I think you may be tricked by camera angles though. I’d say the fence is probably 3 or 4 inches away from the workpiece. I don’t think there’s much danger of binding!
Great build and nice looking guitar. Can you provide links to the pickups, electronics and tail piece you used? I’ve been looking for a tailpiece like that and have had no luck.
I added links to the description! I can’t remember what specific pickups I used but they were some cheap ones. Here are the links I added: Tailpiece - amzn.to/40nX5GE Bridge - amzn.to/4a7W5K9 Pickups - amzn.to/4fLv4xh Wiring harness - amzn.to/4gGVykP
0:38. Taking a wood offcut from the table while saw blade is still spinning. As an older wood worker (63) it surprises me how few people use a second push stick to keep the work piece firm against the fence. I see later on that you do it but when your cutting the ebony pieces you could be using a push stick there. My son works in ED and says most common tool related injuries are table saw and hand held circular saws.

Phenomenal! Watching your craftsmanship and imagination grow through each build is truly a treat to watch and enjoy. Keep it up!
as always,i love your builds.no special tools just great craftsmanship.thank you for inspiring us.

Great idea! 💡🎸 🔥👍
I gotta have a plain glass flat painted reflection
I love when you let the children play with power tools!
@@elm478 they were just watching! Not touching!
you're both dorks
Another awesome build! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you!
Very nice work
Very beautiful

18:03 In high school I made a corner shelf and used a propane torch to burn the wood.
Yes but I don’t have a propane torch!
@ That’s O.K. D….you gotta use what you have. Great build btw. 🎸👍
Often though about doing this using oregon timber .
You should stop thinking and start doing!
That’s my modo.
Поздравляю с копченой гитарой.
What kind of wood is the futon made of? Looks like a paler version of mahogany.
I’m not totally sure! I think maybe it’s Meranti. Photos online look like that and I no a lot of furniture is made of out that in Asia.
@@dannylewisguitars Meranti seems like a good guess after googling for a while. Is it holding up OK as a neck and fretboard wood?
Do they sell jigs for building guitars? Or is there some plans i could download? You got me very interested in building a guitar now

Time to invest in some sandbags for that tripod!
This guitar is FIRE 🔥
get it? lol
Nice
EXCELLENT WORK, but those woods are not very convincing, especially the neck. Since those woods are not of good quality, much less stationary, it will not have that rigidity that will make this beautiful guitar last for years.
I promise the neck wood is fine! It’s a hard wood and it’s been properly dried and used as furniture for years. But thanks for your concern!
it is important to nourish the wood with oil
after the wood was caught into a fire, lol
Was that rub-on poly?
I call it Wipe-on poly. But yes!

Well, it certainly has a lot of CHARacter!
Haha! Nice
Que preciosidad

I saw an absolutely beautiful hollow-body guitar made out of a scrapped pallets. It was a nice reincarnation. But it was NOT set on fire!! 🤣
Well done! (see what I did there?)
Very nice!
Babe, wake up. Danny Lewis dropped another guitar build.

Dangerous setup at 0:41.
Using a miter gauge to make a crosscut?

Your saw safety, sir, startles.

@@selfactualizer2099 it’s called pine!
Wow, it looks awful.
Thank you!
