Artists feel thing more intensely than others. As a woodworker, I can feel your pain. In my shop, time means nothing to me. However, If the unthinkable happened, I would mourn its loss.

Still, 5 years is a long time, and a damaged guitar will never be what you intended it to be. Is it still in the corner?

[bobloblaw1701]

LOL. I'm not still in mourning, it's ok. Actually, I've been engrossed in substantial home renovation for the past few years (and for the next few if my wife has anything to say about it). The guitar in the video is repaired, but still sits in it's case waiting for saddle, nut and final setup believe it or not.

Never occurred to me that there might be uncontrollable issues preventing your completion of the series. I hope that's not the case! All the best to you. JB

[bobloblaw1701]

Uncontrollable - no. Just time constraints. I really should post one more video explaining to folks why the series ended where it did. The guitar fell off it's drying hook, into the corner of the table saw and then onto some wood on the floor. Cracked back, lots of other damage. Sigh. Most of the damage was repaired, but the guitar still sits in a case in an unfinished state. Home renovations have now taken over my life.

[bobloblaw1701]

Yes.

[sonicsloth99]

Great vids. Thanks for posting them. Sorry to here about the damage to the guitar. I have really enjoyed them and learnt a lot. Hope the renovations went well. God Bless

[MrGo0die]

Please finish this series Steve.

[MrPhorick]

Terribly sorry about the damage to the guitar hopefully sometime soon ill be able to hear it.

[sirgreggins8824]

i wish you couldve strung it up and played it so we could hear it

[waylonduscrack]

I have been watching this from start to... finish??? Ive seen you go from long haired to almost bald... Sorry to hear about the damage to the guitar... I too was waiting for the final product so I could hear it sing... Best videos ever buddy... Cant believe you took us through the entire thing for free. You should think about doing a complete series (After renovations). I would pay for the DVD. Thanks a lot for the vids

[eldj30]

this video were great thanx man for uploading them...but i got a question.....how do i connect the neck to the body? also what about the nut and the other stuff?

[concussedcarneous]

loblaw? from the loblaw's food chain?

[erikonguitar]

Im planning on making my first guitar soon so ive watched through the whole series to get an idea of what im up against. I'm wondering whether or not there is much difference with the construction of the guitar if i wanted to 1) add a cutaway and 2) make it 12 string?

[Bertziethegreat]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing.

[jonahguitarguy]

I watched this series of vids a long time ago and wondered why you didn't post the finished product. Sorry to hear about the damage that's heartbreaking. I use your scarf joint jig design and it works very well. Thanks for that, good luck with the honey do's. Dane
