In this video I unbox and demo the Kirjes bowl sander. I use the sander to finish carving the control recesses on a PRS style guitar build. I bought all the components separately but it is available in this handy kit: www.classichandtools.com/kirjes-bowl-sanding-kit/p592 I have no affiliation with Kirjes or Classic Hand Tools but I am sharing because I am really impressed with the tool for this...

Super great information! You may not be able to answer this, but say if instead of a nitro top coat you wanted to do a Spray Max 2k top coat. Would you use a pre catalyzed sanding sealer (like Mohawk for instance) and then apply 2k using basically same procedures as shown here?
Sorry mate, you’re right I can’t answer that. All can suggest is do a tester
setnecks are such bullshit. all they are is a bolt on neck that's glued. build a neck through or a bolt on not some half assed thing.. oh and his pocket wasnt to tight it was fine.
If you say so 👍
grain filler almost empty.. you need more enemies
Beautiful, beautiful instrument. Hope you enjoy it for years to come.
I'm disappointed there is no narrative explaining what you are doing and why. There is a lot of information being left out about the process.
If you check the link in the video description, I have done a video of another similar guitar with full comentary
Thanks for an excellent video! Thanks for being so thorough. I love how you explain every step clearly and in depth. Nice looking instrument.
No worries, thanks for watching
Love the colour and finish
Thank you mate
good lord get your self a drill press !!!!
This video is 4 years old. I have a drill press
I'm duplicating your "Lemon Fade" finish on a flame maple top. Can you please advise what dyes were used? The pink over purple treatment you did here makes good sense. Is there a color you recommend to "top off" the lemon fade? Any coaching you could provide would help a lot. Thanks!
I believe I used a combo of crimson water based yellow and a brighter alcohol based yellow
@@ADFinlayson Thanks! That gives me some confidence, and that's what I'm a gonna do.
I'm attempting my first build and stumbled upon your highly interesting and informative video! Now all I have to do is decide what color to use, deep purple or cherry burst??
Red is easier
For the people complaining about commentary, he has a link to his full video with commentary in the description😂
Thats perfectly pretty
Is he doing a mat finish
Are u sanding between coats
Only where necessary, after a few coats then a final level sand after its had a week of cure time
When spray painting, make your first coat very light and leave it until it tacks up (tack coat) before spraying your second coat. Then when you spray your second coat, you can really flood it. If you don’t do a tack coat first you can only spray light coats and it makes getting a high build gloss finish really difficult. Also don’t finish your passes over the body itself, change directions upon an imaginary surface beyond the object you are painting.
That sounds like a good technique for spraying 2k
@@ADFinlayson Works for all paints, learned it from a pro many years ago, best painting tip I ever got. It’s a fast first pass that looks sparse and crappy which is let sit until it gets tacky but does not smear when touched (I just check on the masking paper or tape), then the second pass is slow and heavy until almost the point you’d think it would normally run but it doesn’t. The trick I found was resisting the urge to touch it up again straight away, and just waiting a full tack again before doing it. The first thing it knocks out is overspray, but the best thing it does is just saves time in colour sanding later.
Many thanks for this thoroughly detailed video demonstrating how to stain & lacquer. It is by far the most in-depth explanation I've come across on RUclips. Now I feel confident to give it a go. Cheers to you, sir!
No problem, thanks for watching.
Holy shit, you hand carved the top. I cannot imagine that amount of work. Definitely a labor of love. Liked and subscribed.
Hand carving is a really enjoyable thing to do, if you can get past the blisters
Hi! Love your work! May I ask how much di you wait in between coats?
Thank you, I tend to leave it around 30 mins between coats and max 3 coats/day. But it depends on the climate you’re painting in
Hi, can you help me? I want to do really light grey on flame maple LP - to let show the wood of the color. What should I use for the light grey? Thank you! 👍🏻
Just dilute black dye 🤷♂️
We need to see the guitar finished with its hardware on. But thanks.
You will see it if you scroll down through my Instagram profile
Why are you using a sharpie instead of a watermark printed serial number? Thanks by the way on the tutorial of using Rose on top of the purple. Really made a difference!
It's not a sharpie, but It's handmade so it's got a hand-written serial number. Glad you found the video useful. Ash
Thank you for this video. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
How to get this color? 😍
Whatch my latest video, I explain the products and how to
Do you have a Finished video? I'd like to see the final.
Sorry I don't but I do have pics of it on my instagram instagram.com/p/CR93WAEMC6F/?img_index=1
Wow, phenomenal job! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I learned a TON from this and will be watching again while taking notes so I can incorporate your many pearls of wisdom into finishing my latest build. Appreciated :D
Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful
I have to TOTALLY AGREE with comments regarding no commentary on what you were doing! Hard to learn without instructions. Couldn't even finish the clip, there was no point. It's like watching someone prepare/cook a delectable dish but they don't tell you how it's done; you have to guess.
If you want a full commentary watch my latest video. All products and processes explained ruclips.net/video/HjO5n86wiI0/видео.html
Stunning guitar! I currently have a hollow body LP type on my bench waiting to be carved. I'm loving your channel!
Glad you enjoyed the video, you should post some videos if you’re working on your own builds. Ash
Thanks for inviting us into your shop.
Promo-SM 😩
I need to know what guitar kit that is
it isn't a kit, if you look back through my channel you can see the rest of the 4 part build series.
i can only dream if having one... New Sub here🙏
Thanks for watching mate
What did u use to clean around neck area after gluing.
It’s just hot water. If you watch my latest video, I do a detailed explainer for the whole process ruclips.net/video/HjO5n86wiI0/видео.html
What did you use as your clear coat? A 2k urethane? polyester?
Nitrocellulose
If you watch my latest video, all my products and processes are explained
Detailed and very informative. Pro tip additional comments is secret sauce stuff rarely given in "How to" videos of this nature. Beautifully finished product with instructional narrative, concise and well delivered.
Awesome results! Burst turned out amazing
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
@@ADFinlayson What buffing agent do you use?
@@christophermendez7921 I am currently using menzera hard compounds.
I'd probably drop it a couple times while using the buffing wheel 🫣
Yeah don’t do that
What type of dye do you recommend? Ive seen Analine, water soluble powders, etc. Also, do you have a video on how to cut inlays?
watch my latest video Shawn, I explain all my products and processes ruclips.net/video/HjO5n86wiI0/видео.html
Can you recommend any cheaper alternative to the LPH80 for a hobbyist?
Get in touch with spraygunsdirect, they will give you some good advise
Hmmm... not much of a talker
Watch my latest video if you want an explainer
If you dont mind me asking. What brand of dye are you using?
Angelus, if you watch my latest video, I talk about the products and the processes
Bro!!! The clamp directly on the frets? Are you nuts?
Apparently
Blue is primary color.
what type of lacquer you use hire please thanks
precat cellulose lacquer
@@ADFinlayson thank you
Cool! What do you spray before buffing?
The clear coat is cellulose
@@ADFinlayson Sure! Thanks mate. But I actually wanted to ask while buffing, sorry. Is that spirit or water?
Oh that’s just a bit of water and dish soap
@@ADFinlayson To ease the friction right? I’ll try that. Thanks!
Thanks for the education! Mentally preparing myself to paint a StewMac LP kit and was looking for exactly this kind of detail. I appreciate you talking us through the issues. Following. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed the video, good luck with your kit.
The guitar turned our very nice, unfortunately I was not able to learn anything due to lack of commentary. An explanation of the process and materials you used would have been very helpful. I fast forwarded to the end and it turned out beautiful. I was just expecting more of a teaching video which I realized that was not your intent. Great work though.
Watch my latest if you want an explainer video ruclips.net/video/HjO5n86wiI0/видео.html
Sry I‘m a totally newie on that. What kind of dye is that? Oil dye, wood dye, water dye?
if you watch my latest video, I do another purple guitar with full commentary, all my products and techniques explained ruclips.net/video/HjO5n86wiI0/видео.html
What purple stain did you use.
Watch my latest video, it’s all explained
Excellent work and stunning finish. Just when gluing the neck I would have have placed a block on the fretboard before clamping rather than clamp directly onto the frets themselves.
Why?
Great work.
