Morning coffee with Dan...It is always such a pleasure to watch your videos. Your presentations are very accessible while maintaining a professional approach. I was gifted a sound board with the sound hole already cut out. I think I can cut the rosette by cutting a sound hole plug to orient the board to the pin. Thank you!

Great video! When you go to remove the finished rosette from the work board, if you pry up a corner and squirt a little denatured alcohol between the wood and the work board, the alcohol will wick into the space and cause the tape to let go. As the tape lets go, you can pry up more and more and a little more alcohol added will ease your part loose with less chance of breakage.

When cutting the outside and inside channels on the top I do a very specific pattern that takes into consideration the spinning direction of the cutter in relation to the grain line. So I go from the end up to the waist/middle, then from the front to the same waist side, then end to the waist/middle of the other side, and front to that waist. Doing it this way tends to lay down the grain rather than tear it up. It's worked well for me anyway.

If you apply some shellac to the top where the rosette goes it’ll minimize the chances for tear out.

Yes, I do that frequently on making rosettes. It also just toughens up the soundboard to make it a little less prone to dents, but we didn't put it in this video just for simplicity. We struggled to keep the final edit under 20 minutes. ;)

Thanks for the video, one question: I was thinking the rosette would have been installed turned 90 degrees from where it is so the grain of the spruce top and and the rosette were perpendicular to support the spruce from cracking along the grain, is this not needed or common practice?
@stewmac
8 күн бұрын
No, that's not necessary. The rosette is functional, but it's not really about stopping cracks as much as it is providing structural support around a weak area of the top. How you brace it internally around on the back side if the rosette is very important too.

If it wobbles in your work board paint the inside of the hole with some thick superglue. Let it dry then re-insert the pin. Don't go crazy, a little goes a long way. If it wobbles in your guitar top, test drill a hole in a piece of scrap (or outside your guitar pattern) until you get a tight fit (not too tight, you don't want to crack the soundboard). Then drill a new hole. You have some room for mistakes considering you're going to ultimately cut out the sound hole.

Video could have been greatly improved if it had included an anatomy or diagram and explanation of the rosette layout and general plan of the channel routing BEFORE launching into the procedure. Brock's commentary is otherwise excellent but first time viewers new to the process are left wondering what the hell is going on in regard to which channel he's routing (what each is for, i.e. purfling or cocobolo ring etc). It only becomes clear sometime after 10 minutes, towards the end of the video.

For stuff like this, the shank of the bit is entirely too long. Generally speaking, those aren't shanks for routers, rather for collets on CNC equipment. So, a trim i almost always necessary when the bit diameter is under 3 mm.

If you're referring to the video of Michael building a guitar on KZitem. Yes, I have seen it. Michael is definitely a master builder. However, that is a completely different style rosette with several more advanced techniques (segmented tiles, inside and outside shell rings etc.) . Plus, he's using several dedicated jigs. We were trying to go for a video aimed at newer builders just starting out.
