Ep.8 Preparing the Nut and Pre-Wiring the Loom - The 9 Hour Build

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and welcome to Crimson Guitars http://www.crimsonguitars.com and another moment of madness from Ben Crowe. Last week he decided to challenge himself, yet again. This time, the goal is to build a Crimson Guitars PAF solid body in 9 hours or less! The cameras started rolling at 10:30 on Thursday morning and caught every glorious detail of the build. We now invite you to join Ben on this journey and follow minute by minute as this guitar comes to life. Similar to the 12-hour build, (http://tinyurl.com/hhtmszo) this challenge takes place over a normal working day, so expect questions, distractions, and "team support" (heckling). #crimsonguitars #bencrowe #guitarbuilder #luthier Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Working on the nut - 2 hours left - not much time! 8:40 Drilling for truss rod access 12:33 Preparing to insert the Mother-of-Pearl side dots 19:54 Marking out the string spacing on the nut 21:22 Cutting the slots with Crimson razor saw and Crimson Nut Slotting Files 25:39 The Logo using tiny inlay chisels 37:22 The backplate - sanding and drilling for the control knobs and jack 47:39 Pre-wiring the loom 58:51 Unclamping the neck, a bit of sanding - and now he is nervous. 1:00 Camera person changeover and on to the finish - we hope!? Conclusion Thank you for watching this episode, we hope that you will continue watching and enjoy the entire series. We will be releasing two episodes every day at 10:30am and 6pm until the end of the build. With the final demo by Toby James and Phil Walker on Saturday.
