Building my Acoustic Guitar Side Bender
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Its time to build an acoustic guitar side bending machine. This was a fun project to put together. I made this one with different attachments for bending cutaway or non cutaway guitars. I think its going to be super versatile and I can't wait to put it to use.

This is by far the nicest looking side bending jig I've ever seen. Outstanding work! Such a shame people who buy your guitars don't get to see it.
Thanks man! Sometimes I enjoy making the jigs more than making the guitars.
Looks like it will work very well for your needs for your next acoustic guitar build. hope you start it soon. Looking forward to following along watch you build it.
Thanks, I plan on getting started on one before long.
WOW That's Awesome!!! Different from many others
Love the jig, nice job... the only thing that I change is, insted fixed bracket dowels, I allow them to roll and avoid them to cause any friction and the action of bending is more easy. 👏👏👏👏
Nice job dude how about you show us some plans you really did a sweet job on that
Good job
Great stuff. Do you have PDF of this available?
Hey pal. I would love to see a little more in-depth on the blanket, and power source for it. I have been looking for blankets online and some don’t even have a plug of any kind on the pig tails. Trying to get a setup that doesn’t break the bank. Thanks!
Great job on this project.
Thanks Paul! I can't wait to put it to work.
Great work! Wondering if you know the specs on the springs you used, or would use, if you made another one.
Do sell the G-Code for this project? Great job, well done.
Now what about steaming your wood and then bending it into shape?
You could steam it and bend it to your form. That would be just one way to do it.
@homebuiltshop Okay thanks, I work on custom staircases, And sometimes we bend the Handrail.
Thanks for getting back to me, How long have you been making guitars?
Would love to see a tutorial on how you designed this for CNC.
While I don't have a specific tutorial at this time, I used several different plans for similar jigs that I found online as reference. I also have the digital plan for my acoustic guitars that I imported into Fusion 360. I used my plan for some of the sizes, combined with the other plans to create my own parts.
Would you share your designs? I have been playing with cnc work after I got me a Genmitsu 4040 Pro late last year. Also l, wanted to start building guitars once again for my grand daughter and daughter. I have only built one and a half plus a uke so far, but need to make these jigs, especially a side bender, to make things easier. I do have Fusion 360 and Carveco for design work on the cnc.
Any way you could post the plans up
Very thorough. I wonder if it saves any money to diy versus purchase from Stew Mac ? Thanks.
Nice build. Do you have a plan/cnc file for the parts?😊
👍👍👍👍
Hello Friend, I have watched a few of your videos, especially guitar-building videos and you make it all look so easy and we know it's not. So my question is easily answered do you have plans for the side bender machine and if so are they for sale??
what drill bit sizes did you use for the drill bit press clamp?
Thank you very much for this. Please can I ask, what are the specs on your heat blanket and thickness of the spring steel? Also, could this easily be adapted for ukulele builds?
The steel sheets and blanket I ordered from Luthiers Mercantile. Unfortunately they are going out of business. I know there are several blankets like that on Amazon. Its just a 110v heating blanket. I think the spring steel is .007" or there abouts. It could totally be adapted for ukeleles.
How are you liking your Onefinity? Seem to very helpful in your shop. Just bought one myself, still in the boxes until I make room in the shop for it.
me too.
I really like it. You need to get yours set up. I haven't even scratched the surface of what I can do with it.
Hi Homebuilt workshop! Where should I buy a plan for this? I dont have a CNC so i'll have to do it the old fashioned way.
What size and where did you get the springs. Having trouble locating them. Thanks!
How did you make the mold at 17.18 mins in?
Now, i'm assuming you would use a router if you didn't have the c n c machine, so what would you do different if you were using a router?
I look forward to hear from you by for now ken
I would draw it out on a piece of plywood, then cut it on the bandsaw. For the slotted piece, I'd use a router and a straight edge to cut the slot.
@@homebuiltshop OK that makes sense. Thanks for getting back to me.
Cutaway guitar. Florentine or Venetian? ;-) Anyway, fun video. Thanks.
I like the Venetian cutaway myself. Who knows maybe I'll try a Florentine someday too.
