Thanks for another great video your timing is great, I will bend my 1st binding set with my new bender and blanket real soon and was thinking about how I would do it. Can you bend purfling with the binding and should it be glued on the the binding 1st.

Fred

You are welcome. Without LMI these Luthier Tips du Jour wouldn't be possible so please be sure and thank them as well.

Thank you Fred. Yes, you can bend purfling with the binding. I usually laminate mine to the bottom of the bindings as I am making the bindings.

Good video. One useful reminder regarding your thermometer is to make sure it is set for fahrenheit not celsius degrees. It is a mistake you will make only once.

For what it is worth I have thanked LMI with about $2500.00 worth of guitar makin' stuff this fall/winter! Maybe I'll send them an email too. They are very friendly. I need to order a few items anyway.

Very nicely done Robbie and I am NOT just buttering you up so that I can get an A in the upcoming French polish class...... :D

Stephen if ordering from LMI and if you use their White glue don't forget to order some. The only reason that I don't use LMI glue more often is that I always forget to order it...... gaah :D

Thanks Hesh. We will be doing a test run of the online French Polish class in a couple of weeks just to make sure that everyone can connect and coming through loud and clear.

Thanks again Robbie. I recently used your method of drilling slot head tuner holes from one of your past videos. It worked flawlessly. Your video collection is becoming a great reference.

You are quite welcome everyone. This is just my little way of giving back and helping others learn what I have been fortunate enough to learn over the years.
Happy Building!

Fred,
Glad to hear everything went smoothly. The next Luthier Tips du Jour video will be on the air this coming Monday and will be about installing bindings.
