Enjoying your videos! I totally understand that relying solely on hand tools can be physically demanding. Using more tools allows you to conserve your energy for focusing on the more detail parts, which is a significant advantage. Looking forward to seeing your next build!
Holyo f^&*k this turned out way different than I had imagined when I clicked on the vid! Great aesthetic blend of traditional and modern, really fantastic!
So I’ve been pondering the style of guitar I wanted to build next…I wanted it to be different but still traditional in a lot of ways…and I started landing on something similar to this…you have no idea how cool it was to randomly see this thumbnail show up in my feed!! Yours looks incredible!! I may have to adopt a few details of your design into mine 👀
Thanks! The combination of headless, the chunky neck block, and the heavy tailpiece, gives the guitar reverse neck dive - which is more annoying that regular neck dive. Pay attention to the balance if you're going headless.
I Have massive respect for the only using hand tools, I don't think people relies how hard it is. The only downside is that its hard to make guitars in volume.
@@coyinkPLUR Since I'm moving into commissioned builds, my focus is on creating incredible instruments regardless of tooling. Hand tools are great for my ego, but don't make a better (or worse) guitar than power tools.
I like the sounds of hand tools being used to make a musical instrument. It is refreshing in contrast with most maker videos that are just the sound of power tools, with a heavy guitar soundtrack. It's being in a traditional craftsman's workshop.
I was really enjoying that, until the electric sander at the end, but ok; that build style won't make the instrument sound better but will make you feel better, when I get the time I'll put my cnc aside and make an arch top, hand tools and maybe candle light. Congratulations, very inspiring.
The manual drill press is really designed for metal, so it tends to advance the bit too aggressively, causing tear-out. The hand drill is also easier use.

Great build mate! Can't wait what you will accomplish using some power tools in the future!
After this one I think a simple solid body electric would be a nice change 😂
@@rauschguitars Seems to be a lot easier. Just pour some epoxy into it, and it will get a million views ^^
Wowzers 😮 exceptional build
Thank you
WOW!!! Thank you!!!

True. Luckily my goal is quality, not quantity.
why last tool building ?? i really happy saw you do it .... thank a lot of , couse I can take the knowledge that is shown
My goals are changing, and so is my tooling. I'm adding some power tools for better end results.
@@rauschguitars What goal are you looking for, aren't hand tools of better value than the results from power tools?

No edge banding ?
Nope. I wanted a clean look.

I don't enjoy the electric sander either, but for dust control in a small, badly ventilated workshop, it's much better than hand sanding.
Why use an egg beater after doing all those drill press holes? I wonder....
