I really like that clamp situation with the fiberglass rods.
That's a cool little twanger
Great little axe
Cant wait to hear it also the black paint inside was a good look.
Looking forwar to the neck build😂😂
Such great design and always love seeing the process! Looks like something a little bigger could make a cool octave mandolin.
Nice video. Cool instrument. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏❤️
Bravissimo ❤
"A bunch of stuff on the back you never gonna re....Hey how did you know!😂
Great build Tim & I am looking forward to hear how it plays! 🎸🎸👍👍
That little rule is genius. If you were in Australia I’d order a couple but I think freight will be an issue, so I’ll wait until I can buy a few more things and make it worthwhile. Love painting inside the body cavity too, I have a lefty DG335 I built up and it’s the one thing I regret not doing. If I build another I’ll paint the cavity black and add some LED strip lights around the cavity and it’ll look beautiful hanging on the wall.
Shipping to Australia is expensive and slow. come visit! :)
@@timsway Dude, if only lol. I’ve heard about those things called holidays. I know a bloke who went on one, once.
Genial!!!!!!
Can't wait to see it finished 🤘😎
excellent ruler! I may have to get one of those.
Ad break - One of many things at SqWAYreTools.com - and the list is growing. - End ad break :)
Can't wait to see how this turns out! I really need to get one of those thickness sanders, what a time saver.
It's great. I had one I bought new years ago but it was a total piece of crap and always broken. This one is great.
@@timsway I've actually bought stuff to make my own, just never got around to it 🙄
That's a very nice design. A full sized guitar would also look amazing
Great minds think alike. I already started designing the full size version :)
killer
Why build one when you can build two for twice the effort (or fun)? 😁 Aleays fun to see you explore something new. And I've got two perfect rules, one for the garage shop and one for the basement shop. They are pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing!
This is great! I generally make cigar box guitars but I'm working on a Halloween guitar project now, and I'm building the body myself.
It's inspired by your flying V build !
Thanks Tim 😊
oh yea, that was one if my first acoustic projects. My son still has it and it still stays and tune and plays like it did when I made it. Little and nylon string instruments are very forgiving :)
Have you ever seen an Emerald Amicus 12 string? A guitar that sounds like a mandolin..
No! I just looked it up. VERY similar to what I'm doing here, but with steel strings. Looks great too.
A weird but interesting Idea that I feel you might like is building a small acoustic guitar with a kind of geyerleier design where the body itself is fused to the neck.
fun! You order it, I'll figure out how to make it for you :) Reminds me of these mini basses I used to make: ruclips.net/video/_-Kig3BwMC8/видео.htmlsi=ubxW6VRYm4DABwhM
As always, It's neat to see your process. Hartley would be proud. Did you know that Hartley Peavey was the first to use CNC in guitar building? I own both the guitar and bass that started the trend.
No i did not! At a factory level, I could see other, dedicated to one task analog machines being more efficient and faster in high volume than a do-it-all CNC, but you 100% can't beat the CNC and laser for designing/prototyping - and it gives small shops like mine the capability to be competitive with the big guys and custom the way those fixed machines cannot.
@@timsway The T-series of guitars were the first to have their bodies and necks made by automated equipment. The goal was to have a guitar that could be "As Good As" anyone else's production guitar, at a super competitive price. It was a GREAT guitar, but it took 40+ years for the guitar collecting public to take notice. Nowadays, I am disinterested in their current products, but the OG stuff really set some trends.
Like deployed 👍
Looking good.. for the black stain, have you tried steel wool and vinegar? your into natural products, so figured it would fit into your ethos. plus I've always liked the look.
Iron acetate turns "some" wood a neat purply black, oak for example, but other woods it has different results as it's not "staining" the wood rather chemically reacting with the tannins in the wood, if I understand correctly. Unfortunately it wouldn't do what I needed for this project but I do keep an old, smelly jar of the stuff mixed up and ready to go :)
Looking good. I'm really interested to hear your thought s on the volume of the finished guitar.
These videos are little behind "real time" so I can tell you now that I have one of them strung up and it's quieter than a guitar, of course, but in the ukulele volume range for sure.
@@timsway That would be perfectly acceptable. My dreadnaught is too loud for playing and recording at home.
Random question
is there a quick disconnect
For bolt on necks? Not the guitar strap the neck itself
I've seen these clever folding guitars and I'm sure someone has developed some sort of quick lock but I can't think of one off the top of my head. That's a little beyond my mechanical engineering scope at the moment! lol. Or my interests, at least :)
@@timsway thanks
I've read that the burn marks from laser cutting doesn't adhere as well as raw wood does when glued. Since you did minimal sanding on your laser cut corner blocks, do you see any adhesion problems in the long-term?
No. You just gotta get the loose char off, y'know? There's nothing pulling on those joints. Now If I were trying to butt joint something that had to withhold some real weight and pressure, I'd approach differently, but then again I also wouldn't just create a butt joint :)
