    The big advantage of the jig-set-up is that even when the thickness of the wood should vary slightly, the remaining web is still the same thickness. Thanks for the video

    Great methods! The first method is all I need, but that jig was fun to watch in operation! Thank you!

    Thank you again for a very useful video. That first method is very appealing to me at this point. Thank you for sharing.

      Thank you. I'm thinking more about shops with limited equipment and space and makers who are early in their skill development, trying to come up with videos that are aimed more specifically at those situations.

    Made them myself for years, but so much work ... now I buy from Aliexpress, 20 strips for 21€, nice sapele. Real good quality and well sawn. Very good video though!

      Thanks for your comment, but it's NOT genius: it's just becoming familiar with a problem and then fiddling with possible solutions until you evolve to one that works (well enough) :)

    Hello Kevin, thank you so much for showing us your two methods of cutting kerfed linings! I noticed you have a drum sander with one end open. Are you able to adjust it such that you can sand tops and backs with no taper? I am interested in the Jet 1836 drum sander. Thank you again!

    • @thepragmaticluthier
      @thepragmaticluthier  6 дней назад +1

      I can adjust my sander to hold parallel to the table within .002 inches, but you should know that having a guitar top the same thickness everywhere is completely unnecessary. Also, by sanding a too in one direction, then rotating it 180 degrees without adjusting the sander, you will cancel out any variation so closely that you won't be able to measure it. And finally, when you assemble the body, you will thin the top even further in hand sanding and should, especially around the lower bout, away from the bridge region and toward the rims. I had a Jet 22" drum sander in a school i taught in. It was a good machine. i wouldn't be afraid of purchasing one at all.

    I’ve looked at a good bit of your videos and all the great work you do but I wasn’t able to find a video on the measurements and angles you use to create the scarf joint for the neck and headstock of your guitar. I’m not sure if that’s something you would be willing to go into detail about but I was wondering if you would be willing to make a video on it if you don’t already have one. If you do have one, would you be willing to share the link to it? Thank you!

  • @BobStCyr
    @BobStCyr 5 дней назад

    I’m curious. What is the measurement that determines basswood is acoustically dead? Would balsa wood be even deader?

    • @thepragmaticluthier
      @thepragmaticluthier  5 дней назад

      I can't speak to false with any authority, but I wouldn't use it base on A; its strength, B; the cost. I have no engineering date to support my claim, but recall reading that years ago in an article about on speaker cabinet design. Richard Hoover, owner of Santa Cruz Guitar, also uses basswood for just that reason and suggested that I employ it. I must admit that my use of it is more a matter of trust than audible discern, still I persist.

    Is there a rule of thumb height in which to glue the lining proud or above the sides to leave room for matching the radius of the soundboard/top? Or does it depend on the specific soundboard radius?

    • @thepragmaticluthier
      @thepragmaticluthier  7 дней назад +1

      Good Question! I start by doming the edge of the rim to the desired radius. When I glue the linings in, I start at the heel block end and work my way around, staying flush with the rim. The linings will comply, a little with the need to rise or fallout not completely. You can cut the lining and start flush again if it's dropping. If is is pitching above the rim, let it do so until you reach about 1/16" (1.58mm), then break it and drop down if needed. When the glue has cured, you can use a block plane to cut back to the rim and then touch ups with the radius dish used to dome the rims.

    If it helps, one eighth of an inch is about 3.2mm, so 5/8 in is 16mm...
