Hi Wolf! Happy New Year! Hope you are doing great, cheers..

I realy like Your videos! Lot of inspirations to dream around, but also as i see it a way of how to see things different and not just diving into that buying pre made wear and tears trash thing but the vhole pilosophy of fusing art and crafmanship in your very personal way, i like that.

Hi MG! Yes ha ha, power tools this time around. It is foreign territory for sure but they are quality vintage old school; the only way to go. A bit of carbon fibre in this dining table build of course ha ha. Everything going good down here thanks, hope things going well for you and family too. Your guitars are looking great as always, take care!

outstanding! and, welcome back!

Thanks Greg! Hope things are going well for you and you are getting all set up in your new location. I see you have some new vids on your GG channel, I'll check em for sure. Hope the Crimson Guitar project all worked out as well. Cheers

Good to see new videos, I like seeing the native New Zealand woods being worked. I interested in what you think is the best for guitar tone? I like how the planner came out, I did a similar job on one a few years back, I dont have the heart to get a new one, some old planers should last a life time.

Thank you Sam! There are some great NZ woods for guitar. The best wood for something like a tele, with heaps of twang, is Matai. It is fairly stable and if you can get a nice piece of close grained Matai, it will ring like a bell. To give you a bit more twang, you can use Matai for the neck also. Totara, although excellent in tone, is very unstable, so I would avoid. Kauri is fantastic for a more hollow-tone, like mahogany in many respects. I use Kauri for Les Paul type guitars. Rewarewa is the wood I like best for necks. It is the stiffest of NZ woods and it has a deep tone, which is a little unusual for such a dense wood. It is very hard to come by in slab quantities however. Puriri sap wood is also fantastic, if you can find it. Avoid Pohutukawa and Rata as they do not resonate that well and you don't get a lot out of them. Red Beech is great for a Jazz tone. It has high note decay and so lends itself to lead guitar work. I have a body made from Red Beech and its great. Hope that helps, cheers!

@@elams1894 Thanks for the reply, I'm glad so many NZ woods are good for guitars, I'm used to using a few Eurepean woods, but find it hard to find cheap matirial for guitars. I've traveled NZ several times sereral times in the past few years and my Grandmother is Maori (Rapaura) Motueka) I'm Scotish myself. I've enjoyed your videos. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Welcome back! It's been ages.

I'm looking at this video and wondering if you're a better carpenter-cabinetmaker than a videographer?

Since when did you have a band saw? You made a guitar with a hand tool(^^)

So... you're not making the retro set in the thumbnail?

So true, I actually really do love that kitchen table and chairs, an absolute vintage kiwiana gem model. They go for at least 800$ second hand. This goes way back to my childhood as well..
