Beautiful inspiring video. Love the way you use your tools and got your son involved in learning the joy of shaping wood. I think you could teach a lot on the use of tools - why you do smooth strokes. I like the book matching on the headstock. Got to admit that I like headstocks that are not book matched, if they have interesting grain etc. Looking at your jig I recognised that I don't need so many tools as I thought to build a guitar. This surely is harping back to some of the original techniques of building instruments, but you have a nice clean modern twist on it. Music was great. It completed the video very nicely. This video is very therapeutic.

Never, ever take guitar building for granted. I developed allergies to many exotic woods while at the same time got divorced and lost my home shop. Never got back into it after ten years. Sold all my tools and woods. It is a gift and a blessing. I still miss it. Enjoy it while you can. Thank you for sharing the video.

Brilliant - The jigs are incredible works of art in themselves!
-
I love the way your jigs and tooling are so carefully and cleanly built. So many people's equipment looks like they threw it together to get it over with, but your care and thoughtfulness in the tooling must also come through in the finished product.

Absolutely beautiful. The time, the patience, the discipline! Very nice music also. I enjoyed very much. Thank you for this!
