Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your channel. You don’t know it, but you helped me make my first guitar. I love how clear and thorough your explanations are, and appreciate your pleasant, cheerful, friendly way of presenting things. I also appreciate you showing your mistakes and how you fix them. It helps to take the stress out of learning. Many thanks. I’m going to purchase something from the store as a way to show my support.

I believe that you can get side sets bent from StewMac
thank you eric .all ways watch your stuff for years . agree with you on the unboxing tools . how ever take em with a grain of salt all info is good . just remember they are hawking stuff. ii do think ziricote is pretty stuff. at one time you used katalox for finger boards and bridges are you off that wood now or is there a reason for not using it now ? i do not think i have missed an episode .

I love the look of wenge, but have not had any luck bending it. I haven't tried doing sides with it, but did attempt using wenge for binding and gave up after several unsuccessful bend attempts, both over a form and attempting freehand on a bending iron. I gave up after a few attempts and switched to mahogany for that particular build. Purpleheart and bloodwood also have given me trouble with bending, but I did manage successful sides with bloodwood. Honestly it may have just been my technique, so do you have any bending tips specific to wenge and similar brittle, splintery woods?

I really can't stand unboxing videos anyway.
