Lovely guitar. I'm always fascinated and impressed by the heat press. Great stuff, Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the way that guitar aged! Man is that thing cool.
I am not a guitar repairman, but absolutely love watching your videos. Your a gifted expert with making and using tools...and yet, we bother you at sandwich hours asking silly questions about the playing position, nun stories, and asking when the pickup height tool is done (lucky for me, I checked Solo's page and am on the waiting list). The heat press is a genius idea for a tool. The fun, for me, is hearing your narrative (love the humor) and watching you work efficiently. I learned that you do not own a guitar...a guitar owns you. My basses own me.
The heat probably affects the lignans in the wood. The high pressure wood pellet presses use causes the lignans in the wood to be heated quite hot and that's what holds the pellets together and in shape.
I might suggest using more threads per inch on the horseshoe clamp. Nice job!
More electrical Arts and crafts love it!
I built my own heatpress with your instruction. I modified it a little, adding a 3rd heating element. I have two necks to iron.... My mates acoustic which has a good ski jump, And my 50 year old classical.
Ill let you know how they respond 🙂
Cheers Dave 🙂
"I can't huff this stuff, it makes me yak." Reminds me of some nights in my college dorm in the 1980s.
A similar heat process, done with an alcohol lamp, has been employed for centuries recambering bows of the viol family, so nothing outlandish or nefarious is being done here. Just a safe, effective method to try to counteract the forces of evil!, which I personally enjoyed.
Did we put it in the basket also?
Wow sounds like my old guild D50 from 78
I love Martin's. Happy that one isn't mine.
That one's been well cared for, with a top as flat as that! 👍
Nice work. Didn’t know they made guitars that didn’t have a truss rod. Always learn something from your videos. One of the few videos where you don’t check to see if Mr. Truss Rod works.✌️
Martins didn’t have truss rods until 1985 believe it or not.
I have a 1970; was told by Martin techs that there IS a truss rod, just it's embedded in the neck and not adjustable - thankfully they wised up at some point and changed this! They also told me it would need a neck reset (I didn't do it), guess they're not acquainted with Dave's heat press.
Great work Dave, saved it from being a bird house!
That guitar sounds great!
Nice work, night and day difference
Question for Dave's Fun Stuff; Doesn't the wood have a 'memory' of where it sat for so long? Won't it move back to that spot within a month or 2? thanks
Great work as always!
sixty two year old martin. 2024 minus 1962 equals 62 years.
Nice job❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Respect.

Great video.
Nice work Canuck. That Don Pimento guy is just another Ass Hat. Let’s see his guitar work. Keep’m coming. Peace. Those are sound holes in the top? I thought they were beer holders.
Looks they left it in the back of a closet with no case in sight 🎸
A big disclaimer that states "you're it" 😉
Yeeeeessssttthhh
Dave in your opinion, who's building the best acoustic guitars, nowadays?
I like Seagull or Larivee
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff Gracias Señor.
Young Dave, a question f I may. Martin, and Gibson are some of the best regarded guitar makers in the world, as are Rolls Royce, or Ferrari in the world of cars. However, if a guitar is refretted, refinished or had a neck brake it can knock off anywhere between 30-60% of the value. Yet a classic car that has has had no work on it for 60+ years no one would touch it, and said car would need work, if it was to realize it full worth. A guitar is meant to be played, a car is meant to be driven, if they don't work, what's the point? Are guitarists snobs, if you know what I mean. Thanks
A good refret job doesn’t adversely affect value.
Usually only a partial refret is needed.
Beautiful D18.
Mr. Gooch,
What was the price for saving this wayward guitar?🤘
reasonable
Heat press is a bunch of crap. Once you string it back up, the wood is going to go back to where it went in the first place, period.
said who..you?
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff His ass....I think?
