FINALLY!! a youtube video where the title of the video matches up with the content of the video. You deserve some kind of youtube award.

Glad I found this video…need to order a new saddle….thx

This is a great video, in my country, if you want to buy a set of fretboard radius gauges you have to buy them overseas, but this video provides an excellent solution

Glad I could help mate there is really no need to spend big bucks on stuff like tht when they are only a reference tool

Thanks! I can adapt this technique to make a 9.5" under-string template for my P Bass to match the fingerboard radius to the bridge saddle adjusters.

Great video! Great idea!

thank you man, you saved me a lot of money, i dont know why these guys selling such stuff are making them impossible to buy for some people with a low wage. like me :(

AWESOME.....many thanx 4 a very great, clear demo ...now i REALLY know what a fretboard fradius IS and better yet - make MY OWN gauge....very greatly appreciated ( promptly subscribed ) !!

Great video. Thank you!

Thanks for a great tip!

Saved money and time. Thanks

What a genius idea. Saved me from buying a set of Stew Mac radius gauges! Cheers.

Great idea man

Great idea!

just what i needed too know, thanks

Groovy man I used to make my own gages for my job as an inspector - great vid thx man but more than 1 radius is radii :)

That is great! I wish I hadn't just clicked on an amazon purchase... oh well good to know! Geometry has its uses!

Cheapo plastic chopping board type sheets ( red, green, blue etc ) 👍 Pin a string or strip of plastic at one end, attach modelling scalpel to other end at the radius you want and cut out as you sweep the radius.

Stand back; he's going to take out his compass.

just made myself a set. grazzi!

I've got a big manly compass. This is a pretty good idea. I will be deploying said manly compass.

Great video! I needed to determine the radius of my Chibson Les Paul Standard Kit Neck, and I needed to do it on the cheap. Thanks!

you are savior!

Great video. I have a stack of empty plastic cd jewel cases finally found something useful instead of tossing them in the trash. Thanks. tip: Use any type of masking place it on the plastic or glass (if you're brave, Lmao ) Draw your radius gauge measurement then use a box cutter or pocket knife cut through the plastic or glass without splitting it or breaking.

Those things are finally not worthless! Worst thing ever... CD cases made me hate CDs so much. Cracked broken in the BOX! NIce work!

you the man

Echo517 thank you mate it means a lot as for radius ooooppppps lol

Thanks jarred

make the holes in your ruler fit an exacto and then put your sheet of plastic instead of paper. takes out some steps...

Best way to cut them for accuracy?

Heck i need a 28" radius. That makes it harder.

I think mine is definitely gonna be 12 inches.

I don't know if it was a slip of the tongue but Fender do not have a 7.35 as you mentioned it is 7.25.

Yea!

Fast forward to 1:18.

Good job. Are you a convict? That's the kind of thing people sitting around in jail all day think up.

Sorry for being dumb, but shouldn't all the lines tracked here the same radius, using the ruler pivoting on that point? Would someone please explain how to obtain different radius with this system? Thanks.

maybe i'm wrong, but it's not about the pivot point, it's about how much of the circle you can fit in the same space, if you draw idk 1" radius circle then cut it on the card, you'll pretty much be able to get the entire circle on the card, but if you draw the biggest you can make and put it in the same size card, you'll get only a fraction, and it will look like a slightly curved line. the Radius is the distance between the center of a circle to it's "limit"

Thats a 12 inch one

orrrr is it: "more than 1 radius ARE radii" I dunno i m american n i donta speeka da ingleesh to well

Apologies I may be deaf I re listened and thought you had said 7.35 That's the 2nd mistake I have made this year
