Wow, thank you very much. I enjoy having you here.

I started with Tenor Ukes and have one finished, one a third of the way finished and a Baritone that I'll be starting in a week or so. It sure is both fun and in a sense compelling to build a stringed instrument whether guitar or Uke or... I'd say anyone with fitting tools and patience can build one. Lots of patience because lots of jigs for various functions such as neck alignment are needed. I chose the Ukes because, as is, my Band-Saw can only slice off up to 4 inch wide pieces that then are glued to form the soundboard or back. I like cutting off these slices myself because every 1 dollar piece of wood becomes $30 plus dollars when the adjective luthiers is applied to the piece. For example my first Uke has a Redwood top and back. It cost me nothing because it was formed from scrap material that came from a children's out door play ground set. On the other hand the Guitar Wizzard at Luthier Mercantile says the top is worth $200.

Well done!!! The problem with building guitars and ukuleles is the fact that once you've built one by the time you finish it you were already starting to think about what would you want to use for the next one. At least that's what happened to me. And now I am about 26 or 27 guitars built or somewhere around there.

Love your Vids Dad

thank you so much. That is very kind. Now, please forward them to your friends. Thanks!!!

The Ridgid floor drill press is the most true, square and straight. It has precisely ground cast iron castings, and it has the best rigidity. Got it at Home Depot and its been a solid tool.

You teach very well. I can finally gain some knowledge for a lifetime hobby i'd like to pursue. Don't have the fancy equipment, but for now, i only have a set of wood chisel, a drill, and a hand-held jigsaw. Thanks for the video! Subscribed-👌

Welcome, I'm happy you are here.

The more and more I watch these videos, the more and more I get a renewed interest in building acoustic guitars. (when I was younger, I was only brave enough for electric haha) - not a super simple process, I know, but looks so enjoyable and very rewarding, I bet!

for sure. You should build along with me.

I drink both tea and coffee, they both have a place in my life. Maybe it's because I'm English?

I'm Australian and some time ago was doing some work in an English university for a few years. The staff lounge room served morning coffee and afternoon tea. It was immutable. If you wanted tea in the morning or coffee in the afternoon you went to the student cafeteria.

At first I thought that sanding disk was a lazy susan 😂 That answered all my questions from the chatter video. Enjoy the tea and thank you Monty.

Found your channel through Peter. I love your demeanor! It's calming. I think that maybe it's a good idea to "bring" us with you while you're shopping? I'm not into making guitars, but I noticed I enjoy watching behind the scenes of people I follow (like your son). Maybe your niche market would appreciate that! Greetings from the Philippines!

Another great video! You really are innovative when it comes to jigs. I’m picking up lots of tips from you. As to drill presses - my Craftsman table top drill press has held up very well and takes little space.
