For a few years I worked with a crazy harpmaker as his somewhat erstwhile apprentice. The old man died before he could teach me enough to carry on the business in his absence and his relatives claimed all his woodworking tools, preventing me from teaching myself. This brings back all sorts of memories of sawdust filled afternoons refining a few pieces of wood into something beautiful. Thank you, and beautiful work.
The tools of a craftsman, the hands of an artist, the patience of a saint.
But oh - the music of of a sadist.
It's killing me...

@@st.michaelthearchangel7774 so clean,and funny, dude! I'm trying to cuss less,and use descriptive words instead, so thanks for helping, and making me laugh!

This reminds me of why I never had radio or music on in my workshop. The sound of sharp hand-tools slicing timber is symphony enough.
The guitar is really a masterpiece, fantastic job! But the background music is terrible. The sound of a handplane, a saw or a rasp. Does it really need more?
He could've played solo archtop guitar music? I'm still glad for the video, and seeing some sharp tools cut wood

Tolles Handwerk, schön, dass es noch Leute gibt, denen es das mehr an Ausgabe für handwerklich hergestellte Gitarren wert ist. Hoffentlich bleibt das auch noch lange so 👍👍
Wahre Worte!
Above all else, this guy knows how to really sharpen bladed tools! It's a skill that gets little attention, but it's imperative. Thanks for the video! Also, stunning instrument. Great job, just fantastic.
i noticed his chisels were nicely polished and said "this guy knows what he's doing"
I am interested in the Card scraper.
@@dieterjosef They are from StewMac.
@@dalgguitars Yeah he was making 'light' work of some very 'hard' woods
@@dieterjosef me too
An absolute work of art!
The kind of thing that makes people gasp when you take it out of the case and makes their minds struggle to take it all in.
Simplicity, grace, elegance.
Thanks for the video.

That is easily the most beautiful acoustic guitar I've seen. I especially love the fingerboard inlays - simple, elegant and so practical. Thank you for all the effort to film that, and for sharing it.
I can't add anymore praise to your skills and artistry that hasn't already been stated in the comments. Just thank you for posting this video (and the demo) for allowing us all to see you at work.. A stunningly beautiful instrument
People might say that you're a fine Craftsman, coz of the guitar you built. But, I say you're a Brilliant Artiste man!!! Kudos and Cheers. Love, from Shillong.
Man, the level of craftsmanship you handle is just mind-blowing! Great job!
One of the most beautiful guitars I have seen and heard.
I really like your use of alternative clams like the clothespins or the pencils with rubberbands, ill definitely be stealing that for future builds!
wow.. that's a very beautiful piece of work! really great job!
That was beautiful to watch.
Thanks for sharing the full build in meticulous detail.
My hat's off, first to all the work you did to learn how to create this lovely work of art, and then again for actually doing it! I know that if this was my guitar I'd be jonesin' for it too, so I'll be glad to hear the demo when it comes back for its checkup.
A very inspiring build. I love your extensive use of hand tools. Getting me to question a lot of my methods. Thank you very much for posting this.
wow thats just pure art. I didn't realize it's 40 mnts long video. damn. GODD WORK BROTHER
It's like a real modern take on a classic design, but still really classy. Freaking love it!
That is probably the most classy guitar I've seen. Incredible. Simply beautiful. Deeply impressed.
ZERO table saw video!!! I love it.Beautiful Instrument.Bravo!
Man, I can't imagine how to put the strings in the tailpiece. I need to see this part!!!! . Amazing guitar buddy
Marcos Robertson, in the Last Minute you can see how they fit in the tailpiece. It looks like just putting them into the holes for the strings from behind in the slot he made. Great solution as the whole guitar is stunning.
total work of art , nice to see that one made ,thanks
I love how you rout the binding ledge short, then clean to perfect with your "Gavin" tool and chisel. Beautiful.
This is really just a treasure to see you work. Thank you for sharing this artistry.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Your work is both!
It's a masterpiece, really. Absolutely beautiful.
Nice result, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I've made five guitars but never an arch top.
This video was terrific and has inspired me to have a go...some truly excellent tips and methods. Thank you for sharing.
This is one of the most beautiful acoustic guitars I’ve ever seen. Well done Sir

What I see in this video is :
Skills + equpiment + experience = work of Art......
Thx 4 sharing this video, man.......
You jusr earned another Subcriber
😊
Beautiful guitar. You sir, are an artist. I really like the placement of the sound hole. I've never seen anything quite like it. My grandfather was a wood worker and when I was very young I always got a kick out of him using a soft bristle toothbrush for spreading wood glue. Worked great.
I have never followed a video like this with so much attention. I was pretty much glued to the screen!. Really very well done, Congratulations on the excellent result!
Thank you!
First time I've ever watched a 40-min TH-cam video. I may watch it again.
Man! rarely have I seen such beautiful guitars, you are a very talented artist.
Juste magnifique !

That sound hole design is the best I’ve ever seen. Just stunning.
Wow..... Crazy skills. You have taken your craft to the highest level. Bravo.
The sound hole on the side is very unique I've never seen a guitar like it
very impressive, mate. you should feel very proud of yourself and your creation.
Beautiful job! I really like the position markers. Can’t wait to hear it!
Beautiful quality of wood combined with an artist resulted in a gorgeous work of art that gives back pleaser while playing. BRAVO!
Really beautiful job. I am here at the recommendation of Jerry at Rosa String Works. I look forward to the demo.
One of the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen
what a true piece of art! Your dedication to perfection shows!
Well done, s pleasure to watch.
I've seen this build a few times. One of the classiest looking instrument's I've ever seen. Great looking guitar
One of the slickest guitars I’ve ever seen man 😍 feels a litte 30’s Gangster feat 2077 future
Beautiful build with a particularly elegant resolution of the soundhole .
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Cant wait to here the demo. It is beautiful thanks for the video.
Thank you for this magnificent video. I was a dealer for fine custom-built guitars and you are indeed a Master Builder.
The difference between luthiers is fascinating! Very nice work. I’ll put you on my “when I can afford it” list. Keep up the great work!
Moi aussi, j’ai une liste luthier débutant et une autre lutherie. La seconde correspond à votre liste ”when I can afford it” 😊😉
@@louvi99 I don’t understand French but I’ll take it as being a positive comment
@@andrewwolfe2071 Sorry, I thought that like me, you had a button to translate into your language. I said: “I too have a beginner luthier list and another luthier. The second corresponds to your list “when I can afford it” 😊😉” Indeed, it’s positive!
@@louvi99 Here’s to many dream guitars in your future!
beautiful instrument ! great build just missing the sound test at the end , you should add it in your video , it would make them even more awesome!
keep up the great work of art
I have never seen the complete build of an archtop before and your superbly produced video gave me a new appreciation of the archtops I own. You are a true master craftsman and artist. Beautiful instrument!

Great vid! Beautiful guitar! Will be waiting for the demo when you get it back!
Jerry of Rosa String Works promoted this video so I watched it. Thank you. It's a beautiful guitar. I'm looking forward to the demo.
Same here
That's how I got here as well.
lol . Test sound ????
Same reason I got here! Nice build.👍
Jerry knows craftsmanship, that's for sure.
Absolutely gorgeous,......thanks for sharing'!!!!!
Absolutely Beautiful !! Whoever owns this piece of guitar art will treasure it forever!
I do not know much about guitar designing, but this looks like a masterpiece. What a beauty.
I have built exactly the same !!
With an even better craftsmanship ! Hands down !
But then I woke up 🥺🤣
I am screaming SMART, SMART when I see the neck being glued with small dowels to keep the head stock from sliding off when clamping. Man, this is guitar-build porn...
Thank you
GREAT JOB! I love the use of hand tools! Hand thicknessing wood isn't easy to do and from the looks of attention to detail you did a great job! Keep the videos and guitars coming! All the best

Jerry of Rosa String Works sent me here. I am so glade he did. Simply amazing. Thank you for the video.
Is hard to hear that soundtrack for 39 minutes, but the guitar is AWESOME
Band In a Box!!...
Rogério Luís Kreischer. I totally agree! Fantastic guitar but please make the next video without soundtrack.
What if that's his musical taste?
What soundtrack? I was in a trance then entire time...
Definitely agree about the sound track
12:32 made my stomach drop when I started seeing that hole open up!
What a beauty! A masterpiece! And I say that not really often about selfmade guitars. Was a great pleasure to watch! I'm a patient guy, too, but seeing you at work has my respect.
Super!!! I have never seen such an acoustic version of a guitar anywhere. The work done is enormous. Extremely precise preparation of details, bravo!!! Thanks!!! Like!!! Its amazing. 🤩👍👌💝
25:40 I actually yelled.."OMG!@"
Beautiful guitar! Did you notch the fret tangs before your installed them? I assume you needed to as a result of that subtle binding on the fretboard. If so, what method did you employ?
Thank you! Yes, the fret tangs were notched before installation. I used a fret tang nipper from stew mac. If you're interested in seeing how I did it, go to part 9 of my archtop making series and skip to 4:40
That is a gorgeous instrument! Looking forward to the demo!
I was fascinated by this video... I can’t imagine the patience involved making this guitar...
computer-generated music for 40 minutes straight was worth the wait 😂🔥
this music sounds like shit
@@yvonbellemare5734 sounds straight out of a pool game for ps2
Hey, I saw you on r/Luthier! Great work, my friend
Thanks for stopping by!
WOW. I've built a few custom electrics but I don't have the patience or tools to do something as nice as this. Good to see people with incredible skills.
Amazing , stunning visual results .
Demo coming soon!
Cranmer Guitars hope to see a demo soon
Forza règa! Cliffhanger here cmon give us the demo
Still waiting
I would love to hear the sound of this guitar
It’s a fine guitar. Very fine. But you’re a dick for leaving this unresolved.
Зачетный контрабас моё почтение.
Жаль не сыграл послушать )
Неоправданно дорогой в изготовлении и устаревшая конструкция.
Jerry of Rosa String Works promoted this video, and upon opening the video the first thing I saw was a guy pushing a metal Jack Plane I thought to my self thats a first on instrument making am I going to wach an Artist and a Tradesman at work? and yes you guessed it.
I'm now 73 and I still have mine, but sadly not able to use my tools now. I'm a retired Joiner and Carpenter..Thank you young man!!!
Amazing! Incredible amount of work. Hope it sounds great.
teacher teacher Congratulations. Greetings from Colombia. Please subtitles Spanish.
Послушать бы еще как звук🔊 у этой красотки... 👍
Nice Job, it was an honor to watch you make the entire archtop. It has beautiful lines and simplicity in beauty
that reminds me of the the great ones.

Truly amazing craftsmanship. Gorgeous finished instrument.
Damn I would have watched the whole video but I couldn't take that damn music!!!!!!
Crow Step yea,,,Random chords random melodies,,,it’s sick!!!
I am determined to sit through it at this point. But yeah. Holy geebus. It's like listening to some alien elevator "music".
Any issues with the truss rod after you glued it?
Nope, it was completely fine. Many makers don't cover the slot at all, so it just means I wasted time
The most beautiful guitar I've ever seen ! Wish I could afford one!! Very nice work my friend
I have been watching recently videos like this.
As far as for now, this one is the coolest.. the design of the neck of this guitar is my favorite..
I wish we have those kind of guitar here in Tawi-tawi,
7:51 i can see hes hungry after all that work
38:04:
“The drill was singing Immigrant Song”
i think you meant 34:04
That is quite the prettiest guitar I have ever seen. Bravo!
Congratulations my friend. Respect for all of them.
Brilliant work.......👍
But I have to say the music was annoying for me..... still great video
put 2x speed
This reminds me of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where he chops down a tree to make a toothpick.
That's what making a quality carved instrument is like.
Some damn fine work there. Awesome. Spellbinding.
Beautiful i love watching a craftsman at work, ;lots of hands on skills, great to watch, the final guitar is stunning, enjoyed all your hard work, fantastic
Beautiful work. The slip at 25:41 had me cringe though
12:30
the
*what*
fantastic!
i dare to speak this one is most beautiful design that i've ever seen
amazing craftsmanship resulting in a gorgeous instrument. Thanks for sharing the process
Must be nice to make something beautifull without some manager to tell you how and when to do things.
..is. You should try...even if you not a great luthier there always meth sales..
Losing the music in the background would a bonus. Just the tools doing their job is more satisfying
the design of the hole is amazing!!!! great job man!!!
