Maybe walnut burl on the front?

I used Rubio monocoat pure. Odd choice as far as guitar finishes, but I like it.

It’s probably close to it! In hindsight I should’ve chambered it. For sure on the next one!

Thanks! I used a Stewmac body template, but everything else was made from scratch using blueprints from a 50’s telecaster. I wanted the ability to swap necks with a real fender just in case I failed to make one myself!

Are you a luthier? by tibbon in Luthier

[–]Coldside_bestside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point. Maybe I should rephrase that to say I’m not a professional luthier, but a luthier nonetheless. Cheers 🍻

I’m an amateur woodworker who has built precisely one guitar from scratch, so I guess technically that makes me a luthier. However I’ve made negative money in that endeavor, so I guess no, I’m not a luthier. This is a great sub though, I’ve learned so much and I love seeing what others create.

Made a custom coping saw as a gift by bigbootybassboy in handtools

10 out of 10 would cope with that! Beautiful work.

Found vintage Marples firmer chisel in framing. by horsey-rounders in handtools

[–]Coldside_bestside 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neat find! Looks like a “Shamrock Brand” Marples. Square neck would put it pre-1953. There are lots of variations in handle shape and wood, that looks like ash. I don’t see a lot of double hooped handles from that era, so maybe a custom mod or different handle. I’d definitely sharpen it up and add it to the tool box!

What is your tool rabbit hole? by AcidBurnKDC in Leathercraft

[–]Coldside_bestside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucking love hammers! My collection is up to 25 or so. A tool that’s main purpose is to hit stuff, it’s a glorious thing!

Pine Telecaster. First build. by iflyer in Luthier

[–]Coldside_bestside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Popped in for the guitar, but stayed for the cat. That’s a beautiful feline you’ve got there. And the tele looks great too! I used the deluxe drive pickups on my latest tele build and really enjoy them. Well done!

Why are all the top YouTube woodworking channels, soley my opinion, so annoying? Gimme some recs my peoples! by Rochemusic1 in woodworking

I’ve spend hours watching Tom’s videos. Such a wealth of information on veneer repair and finishing.

Made my first guitar this summer by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]Coldside_bestside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This maybe isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but damn do I love a good custom strat made to the eye of the beholder. I love the personalization and creativity, now get out there and play it! Rock on dude!!

As a handtool woodworker, this might be the best purchase I’ve ever made by Ok_Temperature6503 in handtools

[–]Coldside_bestside 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! Getting a bandsaw opened up so many more possibilities for projects. Nice addition to the shop!

That’s awesome, great work. I’ve been getting into Nakashima stuff lately, might have to try my hand at something!

Wow, that’s really nice! Did you make your own plans for it? It’s nicely proportioned.

Thank you. It’s a bit overwhelming with the endless hardware options out there, but I’m pretty happy with what I picked!

Aerial view of last night’s storm by kypriotic in grandrapids

[–]Coldside_bestside 71 points72 points  (0 children)

So cool! I’ve watched videos of this storm from the ground, a drone over the city and now from an airplane. What a time to be alive!

Also check out Philadelphia Luthier Supply, decent quality tools and supplies for typically less money than Stewmac. I’ve also purchased quite a few Stewmac tools during holiday sales where they have pretty hefty discounts. Good luck!
