In this podcast I also share some of my personal experiences, stories, and encouragement about overcoming the stumbling blocks that tried to hold me back from building my first guitar and from stepping out to improve the guitars I was already building. I hope you’ll find this podcast useful, encouraging, and inspiring to help you move forward and overcome those negative voices in your life that are trying to hold you back. All of us here at The Art Of Lutherie and the Luthier’s EDGE are cheering you on, so go for it, you can do it!

Stumbled on here a little late, but I love the presentation of your knowledge, your passion, and most importantly, your encouragement. I made a 5 string fretless last year. Fretwork was my achilles heal and after two sets of frets that I flattened beyond repair, I literally pulled a Jaco and ripped the frets out. Learned a lot the first build to use in my next one. Hoping to get some great tips for fretting. Thanks for sharing.

it would be so useful to have plans for thickness sander, fret slot jig, etc. Thanks in advance!

I know this is six years old, but I just spent over fifteen minutes waiting for this guy to pull out some fret installation tools and demonstrate how he installs frets. Nothing. Not one in this video had anything to do with the description. Yea, yea, he picked up a few tools, but radius boards are not fret installation tools. Ok, a fret slotting saw, a fret slot cleaner and a common dead blow hammer. No description of how they are used. He should have labeled the description as "10 inspirational hints for building guitars". I learned nothing that I didn't already know from this video.
