Here is a summary of the two videos just FYI (seems I'm a little late)

Closing the Box:
The latest Video from John. In previous videos The subject of gluing the top and back to the rim was not covered. I've been asked many times to do a video on this subject so at long last here it is! In this video we will box up a guitar using a go bar deck. We will cover notching of the lining; basic go bar deck construction; fitting, cauls, and gluing of the plates.



Fretting with an arbor press:
Also a new video from John. In this video John walks through the basics of fretting a neck using a press style arbor. He goes over set-up and prep of the neck jig, leveling, polishing, pressing frets, and cleanup & Beveling of fret ends. He also shows a few jigs, and alternitives to the moethods focused on. It does not cover final leveling as it pertains to part of the set-up of the guitar/working out any buzzes. I consider that set-up related to fretting, but not fretting itself.



If you don't want to do the auction you can also buy them at my site. See link in my signature.
