I had been wondering the entire time why the client would want to select the music which played during your build. Then I realized: He was making memories for his grandson, Max, to remember him by. He'll realize one day what a great gift it is to have such a thoughtful granddad.
@bobbydazzler6990 Жыл бұрын
The music initially requested by the client was a few tracks from Billy Idol's self-titled debut album that was released in 1982. The craftsman could not locate his copy of Billy Idol "Billy Idol" so there was no White Wedding, Hot In The City, or Dancing With Myself playing behind this wonderful video. Fortunately, the client's second choice, Vivaldi - Four Seasons, was easy to locate and meld into this video.

Stunning! I'm entering the the cnc woodworking and in my research and studying this popped up and I became mesmerized. You hit on so many different aspects with a quality edit job of procedures. Wonderful presentation. Part of me wonders what if, using the cnc, creating those initials with the birdseye as inlays ~ MMMMM.... but still, beautiful woods. And cool to see the most wonderful go-to lacquer. Its so amazing to work with when you get everything right, yet lets you recover if you have to back track. I think epoxy's give you great durability, but lacquer gives a beauty you can't beat. And finally, I loved the music and thank you for making the video last for the entire arrangement. Quite fitting
