  • Yamaha Guitar Information
    Yamaha Strengths, Artist’s Advantage “Yamaha Guitars: Essential Knowledge” has been created to give you a behind-the-scenes view of the surprisingly vast and varied resources, facilities, skills, and people involved in making Yamaha guitars the special instruments that they are. Yamaha’s enviable position in musical instrument manufacturing is not only a result of more than 120 years of experience (the company was established in 1887), but also of the unique strengths that its expansive operations bring to bear. From research and development through design and manufacturing to sales and support, Yamaha goes to lengths that are simply beyond the capabilities of most guitar makers. But an underlying dedication to music and the creation of fine musical instruments is always there, forming a steadfast foundation that often results in profit taking a back seat to the pursuit of quality. Yamaha’s true strengths as a guitar maker are not apparent in product brochures or specifications, but they are clearly reflected in the sound, playability, dependability, and overall quality of every guitar that bears the Yamaha name. “Essential Knowledge” includes information that will hopefully provide a clearer picture of the prodigious resources and effort that give artists who choose Yamaha a significant musical advantage.

    Understanding Western Backsaws The Western backsaw has almost vanished. But a few toolmakers are trying to turn back the clock to when this One of the earliest tool catalogs we have, “Smith’s Key,” shows the four types The saw on the bottom is a typical pistol-grip dovetail saw from sawmaker of backsaws available in 1816 from makers in Sheffield, England.

  • The Basic Toolkit
    THE BASIC TOOLKIT There is a constant stream of members joining the Guild who are new, or relatively new, to woodworking, and who have little by way of hand tools, but are keen to get started. There are different approaches to this. Firstly there is the saying “Do not sharpen a tool until you need to use it. Do not buy a tool until you need to sharpen it.” On a more practical level, you will want a minimum of tools to get you started. Before cutting a piece of timber, you will need to mark it out. The following will start you off: ♦ A ruler for measuring, such as a 300 mm steel rule, and a tape measure — with readable scales. ♦ A marking knife and a pencil (an HB pencil sharpened to a fine point — a flat carpenter’s pencil is too coarse for fine marking, but may be useful elsewhere). ♦ A marking gauge — this will allow you to scribe a line parallel to an edge. It is not a difficult tool to make, and is a good early project. ♦ A combination square — this enables you to mark square to an edge, and at 45º. We then move on to cutting. For this I would suggest the following: ♦ A tenon saw, or similar backsaw. ♦ A bench hook — this is a simple, but useful accessory, and like the marking gauge, easy to make. ♦ A coping saw, for cutting curves. ♦ A set of four or five bevel-edged chisels. ♦ A mallet for when you need to strike a chisel. Modern chisels with plastic handles are not damaged by striking with a hammer, but a mallet has a larger striking face, reducing the risk of missing and hitting your hand! Making your own mallet would be a good project.
