I love that you recogniozed the maker's experience as a repairman and that the truss rod nut, once removed allowed the rod to clear the soundboard. It's that little stuff that makes a world of difference. If not planned, what is litte, when not done properly, becomes very big down the road.
I don't know where you live but here in New England a brisk fall day usually means lots of ticks. Check yourself over carefully and throw your clothes in the wash, or at least in the clothes dryer, to dislodge and kill the little buggers; then you can out in your pajamas and watch Ted work! (I live less than an hour away from Ground Zero for Lyme disease and so you can never be too careful! )
Very cool. I really appreciated your discussion on sharpening your tools. Unfortunately, I’m 61 years old and try, though I might, I’ve never learned the art of putting a razors edge back on a dulled knife or chisel. Frustrating.
I have found, through the years; that it is easier to keep a tool (or knife) sharp, than it is to get it that way the first time. I think doing so also adds to its longevity. I have a translucent Arkansas stone that is so fine, it feels like a piece of cold glass. Nice work with the chisel.

I wonder if the non-comment watching, self described curmudgeon, will acknowledge his silver playbutton. It may sound like I am complaining, but i am not. Ted amuses me because he experiences incremental success but it always happens even though he only produces videos and tells his fans that he will never read their comments. Its fascinating really. I love this channel and am happy for the guy
Just getting back to my home garage after a test drive on my Mustang. It has new rear control arms, adjustable upper and lowers and sorta like Ted is doing here, a bunch of measuring and adjustments. Snagged my wife and myself a nice Latte from the local coffee shop, checked my notifications on the iPad on my workbench and boom! A perfect video to enjoy my coffee to 👍. Next is wash the car up and I’m ready for the drag strip next weekend. Life is good. Twodfrd is a contributing factor. I do have a co-workers Sears Teisco SilverTone model 319 on my bench. It’s been in the attic for years, it’s a 1960’s model, really decent shape and more importantly complete. It still has a strap on it, hardened with age, probably the origin one it was sold with. Should be a fun project! Lookin forward to starting that this week.
@@unknown-ub9rz - I saw a couple of other post like this, just copying I guess. Ted is a busy guy and I don’t think he spends much time reading comments. I’m really just posting to satisfy the algorithm. Once I posted the word “comment”…got static for that. The internet is a funny place, somebody always has a gripe of some sort.
Easy tiger, the guy is just sharing his about his car and a beautiful day. Reading about taking the missus out for a latte is a nice break from the usual. Good luck with that Teisco, attic finds are rare and great.
i'm one of the fans that's been pushing for some "behind the scenes" stuff about sharpening, that was cool to see it's a real world example of sharpening with the goal of getting back to the actual _work_ as opposed to fetishized sharpening for its own sake
I'm always impressed with Ted's scalpel work - Often enough my use will track off the line and create a deep scratch - my solution to this is to use the back of a number 11 exacto blade - to create the initial scoring mark and I follow with the blade - works every time but I've yet to trust myself again to just use the sharp side.
I really love watching you work. It's so clear that you really love what you do. I just hope that when I finally take my LP Studio in for a setup that the luthier near me cares as much about his/her work as you do.
I’m gonna start my second guitar soon, built the first maybe 2 years ago. Your videos really help. Just fine tuned the intonation yesterday thanks to your guidance. And just wanna say I appreciate your videos. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your sharpening system, Ted. I know there's a lot of videos and resources for learning about sharpening, but you're right that it's been fetishised. As with a bunch of woodworking and luthiery, though, what's good enough for Ted, it's more than good enough for me :-)
Fantastic information and history. I recently acquired a Bill DeLap classical. He only made 9 of them in the 80’s. Talked with Bill over the phone for more than an hour, two weeks ago. Bill built custom electrics for Allan Holdsworth as most may know. Still builds guitars in Monterey CA. But, like his business card states, “You get what you wait for”. 😊 Takes some time to get one of his amazing works of art.
I have been watching these neck resets and am no longer terrified of them, not that I’d try one myself, but I think I could trust one to someone. For sure I find these luthier vids relaxing
Apart from being the 100th comment - There is a technical precision to note with this channel, without it being too technically obscure. Excellent video!
Love that I Always pickup something new from a Twoodfrd neck set session. That ridge of lacquer, where the neck meets the side, did in fact cause a heel to become rounded over. I dwasnt sure of the cause or prevention until now. Thank you for an another awesome video.
I had a Bozo 7 string. The first O in Bozo had a tuning machine mounted over the center of the O. It held an octave course tuning peg for the G string octave up string. The guitar was not quite as adorned with fancy purfling, and pearl as other Bozos, but it was still pretty pretty fancy looking. It played very well and sounded great.
Ted, thank you for the information and the courage to repair,build and maintain instruments. I have opened a music store in Northern California and I’m working on amazing guitars with confidence . I have been a finish carpenter for a long time, without that basic knowledge of finish carpenter craftsmanship I would not be able to do what I do. But in combination with Twoodfrd and life experience anything is possible. Thank you again my friend. Hope to talk and meet you one day, intel rocknroll..
Great work. Very clean sound & projection. Actually, enjoyed the resharpening on all the edges used for making gun muzzleloading gun stocks. It was fun while it lasted. enjoy your channel. Cheers
Thanks for sharing your sharpening method. I bought Leonard's book when it was first published. I've been using the Lee Valley water stones and the stone pond since the early to mid-90s.
I always love watching a master craftsman work. Having done a bit of amateur repair work myself, I recognize that it takes years of experience to attain this level of expertise.
Great chordal resolve to another great video. I appreciate anyone's efforts to do all the fiddly work. I'm one of those people who puts in the extra fiddly effort, but in another profession.
Your respectful approach to the traditions of repair can be applied to any walk of life. I believe the original maker is smiling above knowing his instrument found your capable hands.
I'm pretty dull, sadly I don't think watching a video on knife sharpening will do much to make me any sharper lol. I do however look forward to your videos Ted.
I can't tell you how much I look forward to your next videos...always so fascinating and enlightening! Suggestion.... you need to sell a T shirt that shows a fretboard and says, "polishing...polishing...polishing"... I would buy one!
Hit it with a claw hammer, like Blues Creek Guitars!! When I saw him do that, I was flabbergasted! Hitting the neck with a hammer is one thing, but doing so with a claw hammer without a piece of sacrificial wood, or even a rawhide hammer??? Crazy!
That truss rod and neck pocket issue is exactly why I am a bit worried about the 70s Yamaha 12 string I have that needs a reset. Those guitars are notorious for weird neck joints. I LOVE Japanese water stones for sharpening. I also keep a small plate of plastic with some 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper and a leather strop on my bench for quick sharpening while I work.
Interesting guitar. I enjoyed the history on Bozo, as a Leo Kottke fan. Kottke played Bozos I believe at some point. Your talk got me remembering an old catalog I used to get in the mid-70's from a place called "Guitar's Friend". Hand lettered, with a sort of sepia toned hippie aesthetic, these were works of art, and they sold only the best acoustics, often smaller builders. I remember Gurians, Gianninis (the Craviola!), Mossmans, etc. Wish I'd kept those catalogs...
I once owned a Bozo 12 string back in 1970...it was a BEAST and beautifully appointed. Like many of my guitars I had to let it go for various reason$😒. Now own a Taylor 910ce. I would love to see you work with a Taylor new neck design. Love your videos. Keep on truck"n my man.
Could you please show in a future video more detail of creating new saddles and the process of setting up the intonation for an acoustic like this? Thank you so much!

They just did that to get the rod in originally. Nothing to do with fixing it later.
I would never attempt a task like this on my own, but the information is good to know! Also a joy to watch an artist
at his work. Thanks, Ted!
Just came in from cleaning up a bunch of brush and leaves in the beautiful brisk fall weather, and I see a Ted upload notification. Its a good day!
