Congratulations Jim! What a beautiful guitar. Super happy for you and I applaud your patient diligence throughout the many hours to complete the build.
Hey I watched your series on your treadle lathe. I was about to build one using a lot of your design elements. Luckily I just happened to see the other one, not in the original playlist, where you broke it. What did you end up doing about the flywheel hub arrangement? Any chance of a video about the fix?
I’ve been waiting for this final video. Looks so good. The many many coats of finish has it popping so nice. After watching every video in this series I’m sure I don’t want to build a guitar. You’ve laid out the steps and gave good info on where to get the jigs and hardware, but this isn’t for me. I’ll stick to furniture and I think I’m going to do a cedar strip canoe this summer.
For sure there is a lot of steps but when you break it down into specific tasks it’s not so bad! Cedar strip canoe is definitely a project I would like to try someday!

Thanks Robert! Appreciate you watching!
I watched the entire series and it was very well done. I was hoping to hear the guitar being played. Is there a video of that or did I miss it?
Beautiful work, dude! Really fantastic build! 😃

@@lastingbuild1373 also thanks for being so responsive in the comments, and interacting with all of us. Makes watching the series more fun.
Nicely done! I enjoyed the series a lot but I don't think I have what it takes to tackle a build like that.
Thanks Robert! You would be surprised of what you are capable of when your kids are cheering you on!
did you hand carve the guitar neck? or did you use a radiusing jig?
Hand carved using rasps, planes and sandpaper!
