Hey Steve

Thanks so much for the videos. They're amazing. could you make the slot for the headblock with a dovetail bit on a router? wouldn't that work just as well?

Hi Steve. Love the video's. Wanted to ask if this is a hobby of yours or is this something that you learned as part of a trade or in line with a trade, such as carpentry?. Also, do you have plans or blueprints of the guitar when you make them?.If so could you email them to me as i would like to try and make a guitar for myself and my son. We are both guitar players and i would love to make one some day. love your work, excellent job. keep it up !. C43

Thanks for the comments. I'm just a hobby builder who kept running into people who thought that building a guitar was beyond them. I decided to shoot the videos to try and convince people to give it a try. Few people ever become master builders (I never will), but almost all of us can build a decent sounding instrument.

@bobloblaw1701 Love the videos! great job! But at or around the 3:25 mark, you made a comment about going through to many paper towels! (funny)

Personally, I hate the kind they sell in supermarkets, as

1) They cost too much, and

2) They are all mostly crap.

Since my autobody days, I have switched to "Scott's Rags In a Box"!

These things are way beyond hyper soft and absorbent, but they last forever, too!

Great for polishing and waxing, as well!

Also, there are lots of great books out there such as "Guitarmaking: Tradition and Technology" if you want step by step instructions.

I messed up and ordered a dovetail joint. Should have got M & T for my first guitar.
