For the past few months, I’ve been fixated with videos on Guitar Making or luthier work.
The first set of videos came from The Wood Whisperer (though actually a viewer’s contribution). It’s a 3 part series done by a viewer that is trying for the first time to build a guitar.
I think after searching the internet for videos on the subject of Guitar Making (and there are a lot), that my favorite set is from Steve Dickie. You can find Steve’s Youtube Channel here. The reason that his videos are my favorite is that his are more thorough and detailed giving a prospective guitar maker a good idea of what is ahead in the process. That’s not to say that there are not good bits in other’s videos but Steve has so much more than any of the other videos that I’ve watched. There is one downside and that is that we are missing the end. It seems like there should be a part 9 which includes the Bridge and Strings and finally playing the guitar. Even with this shortcoming, I highly encourage you to go through his extensive set of videos if this is a topic of interest.
It’s amazing how much confidence that these 2 video series inspire in a prospective guitar builder.
