Great work, Daniel. You handled the challenge that came with the new binding-venear like a champ. And those corners of the binding were perfect! Looking forward to the next video.
My experience has been that no matter how well you plan out a guitar, the guitar has a mind of its own in the building process. They help design themselves! It’s like improvising with good musicians. Things happen unexpectedly!
That binding looks amazing !! Even better than I had imagined the solid orange binding would look !! It kind of reminds me of the multi-colored binding on a lot of acoustic guitars . I think it's called purfling. Please correct me if I am wrong . Great video as always !! Truly loving the content you're bringing to us now !! I especially like your humility and genuineness with us !! You're a fabulous artist who does not have an arrogant ego & that Sir, is very refreshing !!! Keep up the good work & we'll keep watching !!
Two epoxy tips; never use quick setting “5-minute” epoxy. Besides setting too quickly, it cures very rubbery. Use slow setting epoxy. I use West System epoxy for gluing on fretboards. Epoxy does not stick to clear plastic packing tape. So use that on your gluing jigs.
I use the plastic thin parcel tape on my clamping cauls instead of masking tape glue doesn’t stick to it as much as masking tape if that helps for the future mate Love that orange and black detail 👌👌
Epoxy is such a b****. Recently had to remove a Richlite fretboard from a neck where the 2-ton epoxy set up too quickly and it wound up misaligned. 2 hours of heating up a putty knife until it was red hot, melting about 1 fret's worth of glue, and prying up the fretboard bit by bit. Somehow managed to save both the fretboard and the neck, but never again! Glad your fretboard came out unscathed.

The beautiful miter joints in the binding are skillful details.

Probably could’ve dyed it orange after gluing and trimming
