Never thought I'd see a metal band where the bassist plays an SB-5A / SB-7A... that's frickin' cool!

If you run a razor blade along the old nut before removing it, it should prevent the finish from chipping.

That's really helpful, thanks. It's given me the confidence to have a go at this for an old mandolin I'm renovating. I think I'll keep it well clear of my dog for a while until the bone smell wears off!

Haha, great to know! Be sure to grab "uncooked/unboiled" bone, so you get the hard stuff which will last :)

Precut bone nuts are like $3 on Amazon. This seems like a really time consuming and labor intensive way of creating a three dollar item. If you can’t afford to wait for shipping, and happen to have several hours to burn, and the proper type of bone laying around, I suppose you be in luck.

Yes of course bone nuts are cheap and readily available, but IF you actually wanted to make one this way, then it is possible :) Also, sometimes it can be a little trickier to find a nut blank the correct workable size, so this is just one way to get any custom size you want. This was just as much an experiment of "will it work" as it was a tutorial on how you'd do it should you want to. And totally agree, very time consuming, no doubt about that.

This is a great idea. My yard has these all over from my dogs gnawing these. They are great frozen in the summer for them, but I won't get into that. I am gonna have to find a good one to make a nut. I have been using tusq, but I like the idea of reusing something like this more.

Hi, thanks for the video. I am confused about boiling or not cos others videos show boiling an sink in nafta for three weeks. You state that boiling made bone week, right?
@IPGuitars

I'm just looking at it from the perspective of what I know as a dog owner. Boiling these bones makes them brittle and can break off small pieces. However after making this video someone here in the comments pointed out that using these bones for this purpose, I should be boiling it to remove fats and such. But the nut I made still works and hasn't shown any indication of (for example) rotting, so I guess it went well enough without boiling :)

@@IPGuitars Hi, thanks for the prompt replay. You are true, i find a study where boiled bone decrease hardness about 20%! Other guy experimented grease release after some time, so i will not boil but before made the nut i left ( for check eventualy grease release) the bone over house heater or under the sun. Nice work and video! Thanks again, ciao

This might be a little macabre, but an acoustic guitar - the top at least - made of bone would definitely be epic!

Brutal. No but seriously, interesting concept :D technically it would just involve laminating the bone to get the top out of it, just to get the size and make it solid enough

Brilliant idea, But I would probably try a band saw or a portaband on cutting that bone in half. That looked way to much like work.

Oh definitely, if I had a bandsaw or portaband😅 This video was all about doing this process by hand with hand tools. If you have access to a bandsaw/scroll saw or disc/belt sanders this would be a much faster process.

Thank you! Clear explained and very motivated. One question, if we only have a "fresh" bone (not an old dry bone like yours), what should we do to dry it to avoid "bone-oil" that will come out during the time?. Thank you in advance.

I am not 100% sure, but nothing a little bit of research can't fix :) as someone else in the comments mentioned, the main key is de-fatting the bone. I did a very brief Google search on this just now and at first glance it might look to be a good few steps to clean, dry, and sterilise the bone for use🤔

Had to do a little Google search to see what that was. Well, essentially if it is hard enough it should be just fine. I used to make nuts out of carbon fiber a few years back and plastic is widely used in cheaper instruments, so if it's akin to those in properties it should be just fine really :)
