Shark Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Someone had a terrific idea!Can't wait to see this progress. Thanks for the update, Northfield. +1 Ament style with a single boomer ....
Pieman Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Mike/Nortfield/bm/Jackass:References to "Saturday" and "last Saturday"Why is this work being done on Saturdays and not Monday-Friday? Just curious.
hamerhead Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 It's nice to see those Bob Vila videos are paying off.
Tres Aardvarks Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Oh my word. Clearly this is going to be a rejected piece...note the block was oriented 180' WRONG!!! Go ahead and send this piece of firewood down to my place, I'll use it as a doorknocker!!

cmatthes Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 They can't work on Hamer stuff during the work week because the Guild production takes up all their time. Those guys log Saturday hours when they can to get things knocked out in a significantly scaled down shop.
a.bandini Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I'm awfully impressed by the blending of the neck. Impressive work, guys, my hat's off!
velorush Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I've got to be honest: THIS scared the crap out of me! ...but this made it all better! Some amazing chops displayed here!
Tres Aardvarks Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks so much for sharing these! It's awesome to get to see the in progress shots and appreciate just how good you guys are! I even showed these pics to my wife (who builds a lot of stuff around the house).

I even showed these pics to my wife (who builds a lot of stuff around the house).I have the same kind of wife. A chain saw at Christmas spoils her more than flowers.
bcsride Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Those neck blend photos do a good job of capturing the skill and craftsmanship. That is fantastic. I can produce sawdust freehanding with a grinder, but not much else.
RichRS6 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Always a delight to see these in progress shots, even if none of the products will ever be mine the customers must be stoked.
coolfeel Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I honestly can't help but to get pissed off quite a bit when I see the magic that unfolds when these gentleman touch a piece of wood and then to realize we are witnessing the last vestiges of a once great guitar company...
DBraz Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I love this thread. What a gutter that Hamer went the way it did. The customers who get these last custom orders are going to feel pretty special.
diablo175 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I honestly can't help but to get pissed off quite a bit when I see the magic that unfolds when these gentleman touch a piece of wood and then to realize we are witnessing the last vestiges of a once great guitar company... +1 It all boils down to the money. FMIC wasn't making any off Hamer. Moot point. Hope the rumors I've heard in recent times prove to be of substance.
serial Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Feel free to let me help you dispose of any 'mistakes'...
