ALMOST AT 30K! OMG! Here since 3 Subs.

[@baterosmith2]

It is amazing how both, Monty's channel and the guitar are taking form everyday. It's looking great Monty! @Pete! Doesn't that brownie and beautiful guitar remember you an amazing cup of toasted coffee? 😅

Come on Peter ! Take a Tea for god sake ;-)

[@fusedsteva]

I know the feeling!! Hahah, when all family members sub hahah

[@whatthehecknz]

Monty I can see how you are frustrated with your tremors, but don’t be to hard on yourself. We see a great man doing great things and the tremors just add to your appeal. I love your work.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Andrew, I truly never thought of that. Thank you. It is frustrating.

[@1000literfotosDe]

Hello Monty, I have nothing to do with guitars. But I love your videos. Then I take a break and relax. Thanks for that

[@MontyMcKinnon]

1000 Liter Fotos | Unterwasserfotograf | Tina Terras & Michael Walter You are most welcome. Thanks so much for watching.

[@jaydivina533]

Coming along nicely. The stain looks even better with the sides together. I'm definitely getting my kids to use that phrase around my mom. "Coming together like grandma's teeth" Enjoy the tea and thank you Monty. Enjoy the weekend.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Jay Divina Thanks Jay. You know how much I appreciate you being here.

[@a7xfana7x]

Brilliant job Monty! I love watching your videos. Even though i have no experience with guitar making these videos do wonders to help calm any anxiety I have. Sending respect to you from the UK!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

thank you Tom. Have a great weekend.

[@Norm4man]

Love the conversion to mm thanks buddy really appreciate that. Bottoms up to you on your next cup of English breakfast tea

No Problem. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. It will sound as good as it looks.

When you see the finish applied you'll probably start crying it's so beautiful. lol

[@bykatherineholland1264]

@@MontyMcKinnon I know I will cry when I hear you playing it. I hope you will consider playing for us :)

I can't but I'll get someone who can.

You know, I use the same glue spreading device. It works great. Very nice. It's nice to see some of your hard work, coming together. I'm really enjoying this. Only thing that would make it better is some nice coffee at the end. LOL!

Dale, the wait is over. See you on Monday!

Awesome Monty! Love it.

Thanks again.

I have no intention of slowing down. Just wait till Monday. Oh boy!

Greetings all the way from Germany. Because of you I bought some loose English breakfast tea. Now I am on a "drink tea" time for weeks now. Love what you do and how you do it. So inspiring.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Gosh, thank you for your kind words. I am grateful. Please pass the video on to your friends and then invite them for a Tea Party. lol

It is a struggle but I'm getting there. lol

sorry about that, but when she smiles the whole room lights up. lol

You're very welcome Monty, and I will definitely pass your videos on to my friends!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Thanks for that. I'm grateful

[@vperalta]

I was inflight yesterday from North Carolina to Florida and spent both hours watching this video and some of Peter’s. My wife and I have been watching Peter’s videos well over a year. Now, she has no interest in guitar building, but now she loves watching your videos. I do have one question; why are the woods you’re glueing on different thicknesses?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

If you are referring to the back it is for stability and strength. Thanks for watching.

[@joshuawheeler8057]

Very impressed with your attention to detail! You have me wanting to find a class on building my own guitar! I’m 46 and just started playing, but I do prefer a good Oolong Green Tea. I can’t wait to continue following the progress! Go Monty!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Thank you sooo much. Please share the video with your friends and try some EB tea. It's really good.

Sometimes, it takes me a while to answer everyone. Sorry about the delay. lol

[@coryjeffreys5146]

@@MontyMcKinnon Yes but at least you do. Not like someone else we know.

[@kwaktak]

That's an interesting way of doing it: one side at a time. I can see how it would make it easier to focus on getting everything flush. I have usually seen the blocks glued in while sides are still in the form. There's always more than one way to do things but I feel that it would have helped you during your hand's tremors. Also, I didn't notice: are the sides tapered so that the depth of the body will be shallower at the neck or is that something you do next?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

smart man...I will be filming that process in the morning and editing in the afternoon for the video on Monday.

[@davideastham]

I thought I was seeing things earlier..LOL. I saw the thumbnail and then it was gone.

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Yup, I had a different vid attached to the end and I removed it. I really want to do this well for you. lol

[@jordanpulciani1526]

Hey Monty! Have you tried Marijuana for you tremors? Apparently, it helps

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Not yet but I understand BDO oil might help. One doctor said no. I gotta try.

[@jordanpulciani1526]

@@MontyMcKinnon If ever you try it, I would love to hear about the results! :)

Yes...it shows you how clearly I'm in the know. lol

[@markattardo]

Are the blocks of wood you are holding the sand paper to at the beginning curved to fit the curve of the body? The opposites seemed to balance very nicely!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Yes, they are and I will try to show that again in the next video. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@markattardo]

@@MontyMcKinnon Thank you...and you're welcome. Must have been the Titebond tasting. I prefer elmers myself😂

[@sinjon]

I must’ve missed something. What was the crazy glue that you scraped off from?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

I cracked the side right where it glues up to the tail block. Annoying for sure. lol

[@sinjon]

Monty McKinnon oh no!

[@MontyMcKinnon]

It's all good now. In fact the glue joint is stronger now than the wood itself. lol

[@whadoyoumen]

Hey Monty , Out of curiosity, do you feel like Keto helped out with your tremors?

[@MontyMcKinnon]

Sadly, no I don't but I'm sure food can help this.
