  • Man, and I thought I was the last one on the planet carving wood by hand (doing pistol grips). You got me whooped bro! Check out my vid if you get a chance anyway... Your work is breathtaking! I used to work on high end exotic cars (collision work). My old boss would flip seeing this. Thanks for the videos! P.S. I'd joke and tell them the chisel aint sharp, the wood is soft! A diamond bit on a dremel works well to sharpen the buggered up ones!

  • @kenmorto Lol, yeah it does look kinda crazy. But it's fun

    doing stuff like that. Good thing I took the vid though, noone would

    believe it otherwise. Thanks for watching.

  • Man you make that look easy. And its not. The dying art of old world craftmanship.Your good.

  • @tterb4 I'm old, but not dying just yet. lol. Thanks, and thanks for watching.

  • Man you are awesome...thanks for sharing your old school skills...

  • @keithalan10 Hey, my pleasure. Thanks for watching.

  • @joavth Right on! Thanks for watching.

  • Binding by hand! Your are the man, With that I can consider how to truly keep the guitar "Unplugged". Thanks for posting!

  • @Altwolf123 I'm sure it would be fine. That purfling cutter is designed for acoustics.

  • so can this technique be used for acoustics aswell or should I stick to a router since the material is very thin, its my first guitar build :D
