Wow ! That blew me away ! I just put a bass guitar “ kit “ together and had a blast as I’m recovering from a recent surgery ... I loved every aspect of your build. ! Stik
This so amazing. It's like making a car out of a barn. Or making a soup bowl from a medium sized rodent. Just so useful and clever and ultimately, the route to the best musical instruments. I saw Yoyo Ma plays on a cello made from a broom handle and a shoe now.
Not many people in this world can make a nice guitar from old doors and play it as well. Very impressive, you must have the patience of a saint. Their is hope for this world after all.
Great Job im retired now i was in the piano and antique restoratin business for 40 plus years i saved some red spruce from hundred plus year old upright pianos out of sound boards already aged and i have some walnut from a old antique bed thats older than the piano wood, and some very old mahogany too i have alot of wood working tools already now i am building specialty tools like moulds and aradius dishes bending machine and a binding machine now i cant wait to get started i have always wanted to do this but busniess would not let me i have already completed some foot drums to play with my harmonica and guitar I lost my wife of 38 years who was everything to me to cancer recentlyi know were shes at and i know were im going but i have to ocupy till then feel like this and my music will be good theropy for me. Thanks for the wonderful video !!!
I live in France ; got a 12 string "Framus" , back and sides made of beautiful "Zebrano " , bought it in 1968 ... the neck is made of laminated white hardwood.... However it's tone was rather poor ,obviously because the braces were about 4 times too heavy ...and the bridge was heavily screwed onto the sounboard ! I finally bought a D28 a year later ...
I'd bet you could build one heck of a steel-slide resonator (Dobro type) guitar! The laminated neck made in the square-neck fashion for steel-slide would never warp!
I love the way you made this guitar, this neck will never twisted .Good idea the nylon strings , with good bohnes you have a good sound ( sorry for my poor english)
I love the background table saw sounds throughout the first few minutes. Made me think someone complained about the shop noises whilst watching a shop video and you just did that out of spite and it made me smile. Excellent build as always Tim!
There are a ton of things I can't do! I'm not real good at remembering people's names, I'm a terrible landscaper and plumber, my check book is usually out of balance, I stopped shaving because I cut myself every time, i have a little trouble setting up the DVD player...
Nice work! You can lower the strings by correcting the neck angle. Fender in the 70’s were bad for this and required a neck shim to correct the neck angle. By doing so don’t be surprised if you need to make a new saddle that raises the strings.
I'm so glad that you built this guitar! I've wondered for a long time if those old mahogany closet doors could be used that way. I'm glad that I'm not the only one!
Damn it Tim, you’re taken away all my excuses! I’ve been putting off my acoustic build for years because I haven’t found the right spruce for the top. Bastard. Love you man.
I bet this pun has been made before, but I can't help it. So you made something from doors to cover the doors on. What an awesome upcycling experience. Thanks for sharing, Tim!
Thanks much for posting this video! I’m seriously planning on getting into banjo building. I think I’ll copy a basic Tackhead. I think that you’ve proved to me that my idea of using plywood to build my first neck is good.
This is the one and only time I've seen anyone make something useful out of those awful doors, (apart from a bonfire). Out of the closet and into the studio. Just wonderful!!
This seems to work great, but alas, I can't afford a Thunderlaser machine. People often scoff a innovative methods of manufacturing things, but I like it. I made a beautiful violin out of some old pieces of 1/2" x 3" balsa wood I had laying in the garage for 30 years. The hardwood parts were made from maple and walnut scavenged from a dining room chair rescued from the burn pile. That was in 2010. It still looks and plays well. A professional music teacher told me it was equivalent to a mid-price range student violin. That was my first try. I have gone on to build many unconventional instruments that play and sound well. So keep on truckin!
Tim. I can say with 100% honesty that your closet door acoustic guitar is the best sounding closet door acoustic guitar I have ever heard! Keep taking risks and putting out awesome content like this.
Nice work! I recently found a guitar like guitar in a music shop in Marrakech. I say guitar like guitar bc whoever made it shaped it like a guitar but only 4 strings, fairly shallow body, and wooden tuning pegs that come up from the bottom of the peg box like on Renaissance guitars. It's made all of plywood with a pine neck and sides. The sides are really a series of pine squares placed with grain vertical. It had various issues but I kinda fell in love with it and I'm now trying to improve it. I took the back off and planning to add some bracing, trim down the sides, add some kind of neck block (the neck was only nailed to the back, no other support!). The bridge is interesting but too far back so im going to make a secondary floating bridge that's adjustable. The maker cut (quite deep) fret slots but never added frets. I want to either fill them in or add a hard wood fingerboard and add tied on gut frets, since with a floating bridge the fret slots won't be in tune. It's painted, so idk yet how that will affect the tone. I might use brass and iron strings, or I might use the kind of handmade goat gut strings that are used on Moroccan instruments. We'll see. Anyways your project kinda inspired me so thanks! Idk if my Moroccan guitar will sound much like a guitar but it will sound distinctive I'm sure 😊
Brilliant work Tim - I love you're using reclaimed materials to make your guitars - less waist of our fast declining natural sources. A huge thumbs up! 👍🙂
You are a very multi talented man. While I most likely never have the equipment that you have ,I still enjoy watching you work your craft. You are also a very talented player. I have been playing for over 40 years and enjoy playing everyday,it is such a great stress reliever. I would love to be able to purchase a guitar from you for my collection,you can never have too many,lol.Maybe one day. Thank you for the content.
Tim, I absolutely love your channel. You have inspired me in so many different ways! I love that you take reclaimed wood and make it into musical instruments
Hey Tim, you are doing what I am wanting to do. I am in the process of building a guitar the same way that you have put the closest doors together EXCEPT I wanna cut each piece out so that it can be reproduced with a 3D printer with materials like copper or aluminum and then glued together. Otherwise exactly like you are doing. My girlfriend and I freaked out when we saw this because i searched all over the internet and RUclips a couple of months ago when i started my projects. ROCK ON BROTHER!!!!!
awesome man. I can't wait to see yours. tag me in it when it's done. for more inspiration, search for "the body snatcher" 3d printed guitar. cool concept
Thanks for this Video! Now that the Neck is permanently set, and can't adjust the angle : One can lower the High String action, by sanding the Bridge itself, and the Saddle. Also routing (lowering ) the Saddle pocket by 1/16 " will help. Be sure to " Rat File " Grooves on the Bridge,( using a Dremel), on each side of the saddle, (where the strings rest), to prevent the strings touching the Bridge wood, and are then able to vibrate Properly.
The problem is the body is 1/2" thinner at the neck than the tail, so the top slopes up as it goes away from the neck. It's not a setup issue and there's not enough wood on the top to set the bridge low enough into it. I just screwed up! This is just a prototype, I'm already on to the next one :)
There's a few things that you could have done to improve the overall sound quality, like a different material for the nut and saddle...but I actually like that you made everything you could out of those old doors. It's pretty awesome. Congrats on your first acoustic build. It's completely different than building electrics
i'm already working on one where I'll use real wood and materials for the fingerboard, nut, saddle, etc., but I wanted to stay as close to mission as possible for my first. thanks!
Awesome, Tim - as soon as I saw the notification I was super excited to see you tried your hand at making an acoustic guitar. Looks great, thanks for the video and all the awesome stuff you create!
I lived in a 80-year-old apartment where the side exit stairs had this beautiful sounding old pine or cedar boards. I always thought they would make an awesome sounding acoustic guitar top, if you could strip out the planks and mill them. This was the least used stairwell in the building so the wood wasn't even that stressed. Just all this nice slow seasoned ancient timber sitting there…
I built that on instagram stories a couple years ago. I was just messing around with my metal lathe I don't know how to use. I figured why make a handle when I have all these drumsticks laying around. LOL
As someone who builds acoustics I have to say I'm impressed. I have a few concerns about longevity and it sounds a bit thin but hell it's door skins.. Changing the bracing of the top might help but then again it might need that X to help keep it together. You might also think of doing something to stiffen the sides.. All in all great work. Wish I had room for that big a laser...!
I honestly think I need only half the bracing on the top and back. plywood is so much stronger. I'm very curious to see what happens on the sides tho! :)
thanks for all the kind comments across my videos! That is my mission, to push the envelope of materials. While maybe doors aren't a perfect solution, they do work and maybe it'll encourage other makers to step away from the new, exotic and environmentally/socially harmful materials often used in instrument building.
With all this meticulous work, I keep on thinking, what if you used "nicer" wood... but using the door definitely makes it much more impressive and cooler. Another super project Tim, keep it up!
"Nicer wood" is for everyone else. I prefer to swim upstream - and hopefully inspire others to make just small sacrifices in the consumption to benefit the greater good.
We all know people who came out of the closet, but this shook my paradigm to the core!! A guitar that came out of the closet!! Another awesome creation by Lord Timsworthy!! Jack - Canada
You could sell the cutouts as DIY kits. I think it would look better to laminate the neck the other way, but it might be a challenge to figure out the tuning end. I love your Pic Firth hammer, btw.
Good idea on the kits. I almost sliced the neck the other way, but logistically this was much easier and I believe stronger. I'm making another one now and I added indexing holes to the neck slices for alignment.
I'm curious how you determined where to put the frets. When I thought about the hollow doors, it seemed like such a fit for the body of the guitar. I wasn't thinking you would have made the neck, too. Cool.
How is the neck holding up? I have a very similar idea but using plywood instead. I still believe it's a very good way to make a very stable and strong neck.
you mean they sell thicker plywood already made? lol. It's been 2 weeks and the neck is holding up fine. I did use nylon, tho, to keep tension down. I'll work up to steel string.
That is one of the best looking acoustic guitars I’ve ever seen! It also has nylon strings as well! Overall just a piece of art! Edit: thank you for loving my comment and the three likes!

Or something by Handle?

Nice work. Love the neck.
Thanks man! That's my fav part too :) I didn't realize you were still on my patreon. I'm honored. Thank you very much for the support!
pro tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Kason Damien yea, been using flixzone for since november myself =)
Plot twist: on the day those doors were made, the factory just happened to have a big ol' pile of Honduran mahogony and sitka spruce lying around...
Geoff Bosco . I like the plot twist.the only explanation possible! Lol.
Love the laminate neck. Best part of the guitar. Thanks for the idea.
Wow !
That blew me away !
I just put a bass guitar “ kit “ together and had a blast as I’m recovering from a recent surgery ...
I loved every aspect of your build. !

Sitting at work, no customers all day. This is the rabbit hole I'm glad I climbed down. Great work, Tim!
Haha! Grab a carrot and strap in. I've been making this videos for years!

probably the coolest guitar project you've done so far. Awesome work Tim.

Thanks for the wonderful video !!!
I love that neck. I have an old 12 string Framus (made in Bavaria) with a laminated neck; steel strings don't faze it.
I live in France ; got a 12 string "Framus" , back and sides made of beautiful "Zebrano " , bought it in 1968 ... the neck is made of laminated white hardwood....

Alright Sway, we get it, you have a laser!
you noticed?
Bravo with the hammer made out of a drumstick at 5:29
You can design, make, & play guitars. Out of what I see (sadly) in construction dumpsters. What an oustanding talent you are! Beyond impressive.
Love that you use so much reclaimed wood!
Cheers! Lately I've been in to using locally felled wood, too. Guitars are small so sometimes you can get them out of the firewood pile :)
@@timsway Do you have a kiln? How do you get the firewood dry enough for use as guitar necks and bodies?
@@bjdenil no kiln, just patience. It usually gets close enough, especially if you partially mill it first.
You've invented a new genre of guitar playing: ASMR Flamenco
I'd bet you could build one heck of a steel-slide resonator (Dobro type) guitar! The laminated neck made in the square-neck fashion for steel-slide would never warp!

Haha! That's the cnc churning away. I like to keep some of it as I'm documenting reality, but I turn it down so it's not too deafening :]
My mind is blown away !!!!! There is literally nothing Tim can not do!!!!
There are a ton of things I can't do! I'm not real good at remembering people's names, I'm a terrible landscaper and plumber, my check book is usually out of balance, I stopped shaving because I cut myself every time, i have a little trouble setting up the DVD player...

I. Very deliberately did NOT play a Doors song just to leave room for that comment :)
Wow Tim this job is amazing !!!!
Love when you play the guitar finished !!!!
Like the Vic Firth drum stick hammer. Awesome job on the acustic guitar. With the right tools you can build any guitar
Nice work. Also, love the Vic Firth mallet.
It was around 1969(?), I had a Framus 6-string acoustic with a similar laminated neck and it was one of the nicest guitar necks I've ever played.
someone else shared a of a gibson with a lam neck like this. It was all real wood slices, of course :)
I love your work. Such a beautiful craftsmanship 👍🏼👏🏼. Please keep posting more videos.
thanks! ok!
I really hope to see you do more acoustics in the future. Great work.
I'm sure I will be!
The absolute BEST aspect of repurposing!!! Kudos Tim! Keep me posted on the fretless 4!
Very cool! Hollow core doors are the pallet wood of the future 😉.
Tim has made hollow core doors the pallet wood of the present.
A Nylon Strung Dreadnaut made from Doors. You could get a Steel String sound by using Thomastik KR116 Strings.

Cool,next time a acoustic bass with the same style neck!! I dig the neck design.
Thanks for this Video!
Now that the Neck is permanently set, and can't adjust the angle :
One can lower the High String action, by sanding the Bridge itself, and the Saddle.
Also routing (lowering ) the Saddle pocket by 1/16 " will help. Be sure to " Rat File "
Grooves on the Bridge,( using a Dremel), on each side of the saddle, (where the strings rest),
to prevent the strings touching the Bridge wood, and are then able to vibrate Properly.
The problem is the body is 1/2" thinner at the neck than the tail, so the top slopes up as it goes away from the neck. It's not a setup issue and there's not enough wood on the top to set the bridge low enough into it. I just screwed up! This is just a prototype, I'm already on to the next one :)
Another amazing job. Awesome work. Keep showing us that miracles in manufacturing ate possible.

Awesome ! You can play the doors on it if you want
That’s great! Ply is underrated. You get a great sound out of it with your playing. True craft, or art, or whatever ✌️
thanks!
Amazing that it made from hollow core doors. You know what the say when one door closes Tim's probably running off with the other door. 😆
talk about up-cycling ...fantastic
I lived in a 80-year-old apartment where the side exit stairs had this beautiful sounding old pine or cedar boards. I always thought they would make an awesome sounding acoustic guitar top, if you could strip out the planks and mill them. This was the least used stairwell in the building so the wood wasn't even that stressed. Just all this nice slow seasoned ancient timber sitting there…
I just made an upright bass with cedar fence boards for a carved top. Go check it out on my channel!
The laminated neck is fantastic! Very cool.
Yea it is. I already started cutting out some more :)
That drumstick mallet though. Project vid?
The drumstick Hammer totally makes me want to see a project build of it.
I built that on instagram stories a couple years ago. I was just messing around with my metal lathe I don't know how to use. I figured why make a handle when I have all these drumsticks laying around. LOL
What if you do a hollow core door/pallet acoustic guitar build? I bet you that would be an interesting instrument
Very beautiful guitar, just love your music. Thank you for sharing your story, God bless you and your family
thank you!!
So when do I get my new closet doors?
As someone who builds acoustics I have to say I'm impressed. I have a few concerns about longevity and it sounds a bit thin but hell it's door skins.. Changing the bracing of the top might help but then again it might need that X to help keep it together. You might also think of doing something to stiffen the sides.. All in all great work.

I like how you show how you can make a guitar out of things no one would probably think of.
thanks for all the kind comments across my videos! That is my mission, to push the envelope of materials. While maybe doors aren't a perfect solution, they do work and maybe it'll encourage other makers to step away from the new, exotic and environmentally/socially harmful materials often used in instrument building.

that's really funny. I never thought of that angle in my promotions :)
I wonder how it would sound if you somehow kept the cardboard packing between the ply exterior panes of the doors?
That is SICK! so cool - makes me want to do some demo and remodeling. How long did the whole thing take? there is so much gluing layers on layers.
the gluing took some time. I didn't watch the clock but it took a while for sure.
You are an artist. Simply beautiful.
Really amazing work. Great that you kept the finish too. Really tells the story
why sand? they're prefinished :) thank you
Amazing work Tim!
Your an inspiration Tim, love your work and channel.
I'd love to hear the full recording of the first background track
You could sell the cutouts as DIY kits. I think it would look better to laminate the neck the other way, but it might be a challenge to figure out the tuning end. I love your Pic Firth hammer, btw.
Good idea on the kits. I almost sliced the neck the other way, but logistically this was much easier and I believe stronger. I'm making another one now and I added indexing holes to the neck slices for alignment.
Or instead of kits...... offer templates and plans for sale, so anyone can build using the materials of their choice with relative ease.
I'm curious how you determined where to put the frets.
When I thought about the hollow doors, it seemed like such a fit for the body of the guitar.
I wasn't thinking you would have made the neck, too. Cool.
Ekips.org has a fret calculator. Works great
@@timsway thank you. That's great!
A-door-able project Tim:)
punny!
That's an amazing work, congratulations!
what program did you used to design the templates?
I design in Vectric software. cheers!

How is the neck holding up? I have a very similar idea but using plywood instead. I still believe it's a very good way to make a very stable and strong neck.
you mean they sell thicker plywood already made? lol. It's been 2 weeks and the neck is holding up fine. I did use nylon, tho, to keep tension down. I'll work up to steel string.
That is one of the best looking acoustic guitars I’ve ever seen! It also has nylon strings as well! Overall just a piece of art!
