      By doing it and doing it and doing it. As much as people romanticize it a lot of time is spent doing the monotonous things like sanding. Its work. To do it well you have to be uncompromising when it comes to quality even if the extra time costs yourself money. The bottom line its work. I'm a woodworker and the best part of the job for me is when its finished. I don't look back and on to the next. A good craftsman makes mistakes but is capable of fixing them. One who makes mistakes and the repair draws your eye to it still has a ways to go.

    I'm a musician, and used to build guitars, and I gave up on building them because I would always have people come to me to buy, but never wanted to pay my price but wanted to pay cheaper than most factory made guitars, but most people don't see how much time and effort it takes to build one guitar, especially in a good quality way, builders put a ton of time, effort, and sometimes even money in order to make these, and have to be very skilled and patient in doing so, I hope this video opens a lot of people's eyes and shows them how much it takes for one guitar to be made by hand, with little to no machinery

      I'm the son of a NASA Engineer, if 3 nails work, I use 5 screws. That doesn't mean I don't measure once and cut twice, or completely scrap a project, but my Father taught me about Linear Thinking. If you make a change here, what happens down the line? He worked on Saturn Rocket boosters in Huntsville,AL where we grew up. He was " the" Electrical guy, and the wiring diagram was a 600 page bi- fold printout. As a kid, a would draw and color on the old printouts . One day I kinda saw this BIG stack of paper on his office upstairs, and started drawing and coloring on it. He came home, had dinner went upstairs to do some work, and found my Masterpiece. Had to go back to Marshall Space Center and reprint 600 pages. If you made a change to a circuit, what was the ohm drop, amperage change 3-400 ft up to the Capsule. Amazing Man

      Serg Kinder if you are talking about the strip that can be seen at around 14:10, then I believe it is for the truss rod. The truss rod goes down the neck and can be tightened or loosened to adjust the how it is bent.

    @jpalberthoward9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice work! It looks really good. Reclaimed wood is cool too because we get to have more oxygen, more shade when it's hot, and the birds and squirrels don't end up homeless. Everybody wins!
