Post by David SchrammYou developed it?<
Yes, I developed MY method which is a variation on John Gilbert's method.You
knew that.You have no knowledge of how I do it.
What.... you force the wood through with your left hand, instead of
your right hand? Every time I had a thought I would love to lay claim
to it and declare it mine..... you my friend, make an art form out of
it!
Post by David SchrammNope, I never said that and you know it. That is another one of your
provocative rumors. About 5+ years ago I had Greg Matonis, John's
son-in-law, make them since I was receiving request for them. Greg sells
them on the Gilbert Tuners web site.
You also claim it's faster than a Timesaver.
Nope, I never claimed that. You started that provocative rumor. I said it
is quicker than the thickness sander that I bought from Jose Oribe.
I would love to have a Timesaver. You assumed that I was talking about a
Timesaver. I specifically said the thickness sander that I bought from
Oribe! Here is the photo taken when my friends Paul and Jack picked up the
thickness sander and 12" x 48" belt sander from Oribehttp://schrammguitars.com/om~1.jpg
You got me there David, I thought you bought the one that is in
Oribe's book that looks a lot like a Timesaver. My mistake! And deep
apologies to you and yours.
Post by David SchrammI have a sanding disk on my drill press
too! However, I have no doubt which is faster or more efficient.
That's great. Good for you.
I have a Timesaver, and that's what I was referring to.
Post by David SchrammPerhaps the truth is you didn't have room in your shop or 3 phase
power to hook up Oribe's old sander, but to claim "your" disk method
is faster is pure bullshit!
I have room in my shop and yes I have Phase 3 power. Since you are an expert
on the Oribe thickness sander that I had how about describing it? Do you
know who made it?
No I have no interest in who made Oribe's Thickness sander.
However, I would advise you to quit with this drill press disk sander
bullshit and get a professional set up...... who knows David you might
double your operation and make 100 guitars a year.
Post by David SchrammI've talked to Brune too. He never gave me the impression he does
a FP in one day. As a matter of fact he told me his son does it. Next
time I talk to him I'll ask him about it.
You should, Marshall did a demo of it at the last GAL. I was there. I don't
use his method, I prefer mine.
Woopy fuckin do! BTW, what's a GAL?
Post by David SchrammHuckelberry, what you call a French Polish and what I call a
French polish sound like two different things.... lets be clear about
that. Anyone can smeer some shellac on a guitar and pronounce it
done.
I do not smear it on and pronounce it done. That is another one of your
provocative rumors.
I never said you did.
Post by David SchrammThe problem is weeks later when the finish shrinks into the
wood. Without giving away the " secret Method" how do you compesate
for speeding up solvent evaporation and shrinkage, or don't you care?
I take care of that problem with my process. Do you pore fill? I fill the
pores before I start the FP process. Pore filling is not the same as French
polishing. That is self explanitory.
Of course I fill the pores you idiot! I know the difference between
filling the pores and French polish..... who do you think you talking
to, one of your on line guitar making amateurs? Quit with your
bullshit!
Post by David SchrammMy finishes are like glass, and that takes time, no way to spin
that one. If you do a quick mat finish then that's something else
entirely and most definitely should not be called a French polish.
Sorry, I do not do a quick matte finish. My finish is a glass smooth high
gloss finish. What kind of pad material are you using?
An eraser, and cheese cloth!
Post by David SchrammThe right kind of micro fiber cloth makes a huge difference in the process. It has >to be a
certain weave to get the best results.
Bullshit! You can't escape the simple fact that regardless of how
much finish you put on it needs time to cure.... otherwise your glass
like finish will shrink into the wood. Again your idea of a FP is way
different than mine.
Post by David SchrammLets see...... You've developed a method to FP in one day,<<
I have my variation of the FP one day method. I give credit to the person
who shared the method with me. All I did was tweak it so it fit my style.
I guess you get what you pay for!
Post by David Schrammyou make 46 guitars a year and sell the majority of them through one store
No, that is another provocative Thames Rumor. It is sad that you have to
stoop so low as to start rumors about other builders.
Help me add up the numbers here Huckleberry.....
Post by David SchrammRaptor said.
I'm impressed. Not allowing for any vacation weeks, that's a
production of 36-48 lattice instruments a year plus however many
traditionally braced instruments you make. Do you work alone?
David said.
Yes, I work alone. I only make 10-20 traditional instruments. I also build a
lot of custom instruments that are one off unique instruments that
incorporate a lot of the customers unique ideas
Huckelberry,you also said you make "4 guitars a month with
ease"....... 4 times 12 = 46.
Post by David SchrammYou claim no one
can detect an audible difference between CF Aussie style guitars and
traditional guitars.
No, I said CF used in guitars. That can mean either traditional or lattice.
Get your facts and stop the provocative rumors.
The thread topic was Ausse guitars namely Redgate, Smallman,
Marty etc. Thread topic was not any little scrape of carbon fibre used
in a guitar. You framed a trick question to your advantage. How was I
to know, how you qualified carbon fibre used in guitars.... that's why
I declined your silly challenge.
Post by David SchrammYou also claim non human tolerances in the building of your instruments
A tolerance of 0.0005" is not non-human. The majority of parts I make are
within 0.001" which isn't that small. I rarely need to use 0.0005", but it
can be done easily by a skilled craftsman.
I guess your the man!
Post by David SchrammPost by Tashi...... You spin some pretty good tales,
Huckleberry.<<<
I really don't care if you can't do what I do. You should do your own thing.
I found what works for me and you found what works for you.
You spread a lot of rumors. Get the facts before you start saying things
that are not true about people.
I spread no rumors. You are perfectly able to set the record
straight. Vague statements concerning your sanding, FP and output of
guitars, leave people free to interpret for themselves. Instead of
your vague bullshit, you might be more forthcoming with your facts, or
better yet, don't say anything at all unless you can back it up! You
seem to enjoy projecting an air of mystery about your so called
methods, and in the same breath criticize others who you say do this.
Which is it Huckleberry?
