What is that neck profile? Why did you choose to go for a flat, angled profile? How does it feel to play?

Amazing craftsmanship and what a beautiful guitar. I hope you have plans to share more videos of you building instruments with hand tools. I aspire to build mostly, if not exclusively, with hand tools and watching your videos taught me a lot. Thanks for sharing your process!

I also build solely by hand, not in it for the money, but more for the craftmanship, and to play a guitar i made completely with only hand tools, the way i learned to use them on carpenter school when i was younger.

"The next 5 months was spent applying, removing and re-applying various different finishes." OMG this made me laugh. I do basic DIY kit/parts builds and it rang so true. A lot of the mechanical aspects of making the guitar work are actually straightforward. Difficult and painstaking at times, but straightforward. The *aesthetic* aspect though? Maddening.
@HandToolBuilds 2 ай бұрын
It's so frustrating, because even if your woodwork is perfect, a shoddy finish will make the project look terrible.

@@HandToolBuilds YUP. And it's not only shoddy finishing, but poor aesthetic choices (which sure, is subjective, but we're talking about the middle of the bell curve) will also do that.

@HandToolBuilds 2 ай бұрын
You'll need to thin it down with a planer or sander of some sort. I used a handplane, but there are machines that do it quickly as well. I don't think I've ever found 3mm top/back woods for sale.
