That sanding technique with the veneer spacers is gold. Thank you.

I have done quite a few of these and yet, I keep watching your video. It is just wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!

Loving these videos, thank you for your knowledge and sharing, it is huge.

Thanks for all your videos, you are the best at explaining the important things.

You have removed the mystery of how herringbone is made. Before now it just seemed like magic. Beautiful work. I have a greater appreciation of the binding and rosettes on my guitar.

Thanks very much for sharing this. Can't wait to try it out. Also - great tip on getting the thickness correct with the tape and the block!

Fantastic video, thank you! I like your style of explanations and how you point out important details.

Great videos and instruction. Very generous of you. Thank you.

So huge and excellent explanation. Thanks a lot, Pablo.

Obrigado! Video muito bem feito, mostra todos os detalhes da construção. Agora ficou fácil, realmente. O truque da plaina em 9 graus para a emenda é de tirar o chapéu.

So glad to know how this is done. I will try it for myself.

Very good! Congrats! I will try this in my number two guitar.

Thank you so much Pablo ! great videos, very clear and helpfull !

It is a pleasure for me to watch your videoinstructions. Its amazing to see your really perfect work.lts a pitty that you are so far away from Germany. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for the demonstration, much appreciated

Really great video, I now feel I can attempt this myself, thanks.

Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information.

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 I love everything about this video

Hello my friend! Fantastic work!! I will make one herringbone using ABS plastic and glue with acetone, but the process is similar. My project is for a irregular stamp. Thanks for share your knowledge!! Sorry for my english.....

thanks pablo I cut mine at 45 deg for headstock and center rib inlays, back , rosette etc. different angles seem to create a different look .Have also done 13 deg,

excellent explanation, to the point...,thank you

Excellent! Thank you.

Terrific Sir

Titebond II dries yellow. Never had any issues with the color of the glue when it dries. If you glue things up well and precisely, you will never see a glue line. If Torres had Titebond, he would have used it! I also use hot hide glue, epoxies, cold hide glue, fish glue, white glue and super glued. All for different tasks. I'm not opposed to modern glues. I'm not a hide glue purist.b it has it's place. Titebond II can take the bending heat. Don't over cook it when bending what you have glued up. Don't try to bend more than 3 glued up veneers. It won't usually work.

Brutal, me ha encantado

beautiful rosette :) such an art .

Great video thanks

Very well explained and very informative, thankyou .......

very helpful !!!

You can actually bend the herringbone with veneers on both sides. All you need to do is make a circle channel that is a little smaller than the diameter you’ll need in a piece of MDF. Heat the herringbone with a heat gun lightly and work the herringbone into the channel. It will bend without an issue. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.

Great information -- Thank you!

Does it matter if you cut the veneer crosswise to the grain or lengthwise? Or does it make sense to alternate grain orientation for more strength as in plywood?

Thank you so much, this movie helped me so much :)

Pablo, could you tell me if you use any software to draw the rosettes and purflings? And, if you use, which software do you use?

@redkitekk

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Rinaldo, I have never used any software to design my rosettes, so I don't really know what to recommend.

Is it possible to use hide glue for this work, or will it fall apart wenn you heat it for bending? Great video, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!

@redkitekk

Жыл бұрын

Yes, if you use hide glue it is more likely that things will come unstuck. If you really want to use hide glue you will have to make sure that you don’t apply too much heat when bending the strips.

thanks for your video. I made my blank. sliced it diagonally. glued it back together and sliced off some slabs. here is my problem: the green and white bars in the slab are not parallel. they are sort of wavy. if that description makes sense. where did I go wrong?

@redkitekk

Hi Bob, This is quite normal.If you cry on with the process to the point in which you have a piece as long as you need then cut it in to strips and glue together adjacent strips, then all the green and white will line up correctly. once you cut the strips it doest really matter that the coloured lines are wavy while it is still a block. I hope it make sense. Pablo

Thanks for very helpful video. A question: Any advice to making a herringbone from two pieces, where the heads of the arrows from each halfcircle meet at the centerline of top.

+Félix Cesar Augusto I would suggest to Felix that he uses Titebond II, which is water resistant. I have been using that for any glued up veneers that will eventually get heated and bent. It never separates. Titebond II is the best glue for any glued up veneers which will eventually be bent on a hot iron or in a side bending machine. I've been using that glue for over 25 years with much success. I only use Titebond II for gluing up purfling stock and herringbone, dots, chains and the rest for rosette making. Anything that will eventually be bent on a hot iron or in a bending machine. Good luck.

Sorry...I have not understood how can you make the block...how is it composed

LOL 5:26 looked like you had a fancy hairdo.

I like these videos. Great instruction. But Mr Requena learned English from a Brit. Some nice American should teach him how to pronounce the "oh" sound. (This, from an admittedly anal-retentive English teacher with a touch of irreverence. I wish I could speak Spanish half as well as he speaks British.) But in all seriousness, these are great videos. Mr. Requena shows and explains as well as can be done in a video. I hope someday to be able to take one of his classes.

DeMar Southard There’s no such language as ‘British’. Equally, there’s no such thing as a ‘British’ accent. There are many English accents as there are Scottish, Welch and Irish. Is there a generic ‘American’ accent? Only in the minds of non-Americans surely...
