Punk is a state of mind an attitude to life. It just manifest itself differently through life. I'm all grown up but I still have the punk approach to life. Thank you for sharing another cool project!

Once you've learned a fourth chord it's never the same, right? Much love brother! You brought a year to my eye with this one. Nice shredding, great video, best rockabilly sing ever about punk rock, and this axe looks amazing. Have a great week! See ya over on Instagram!

cheers! Punk rock never dies, we just get old and slow and start playing rockabilly instead :)

I had a grin on my face from start to end of the video. I always thought what you do and how you build these guitars was so cool, and now to learn about your Punk Rock history is even cooler man. I spent my teen years in high school discovering Punk Rock and that was a few years ago now. Doesn't matter if it's decades ago or today though, I think there'll always be a young interest in Punk, and I'm real proud I got into the music. I live by its ethics and I'll carry them on for as long as I hopefully can. I'm still trying to get my career sorted out (while trying to maintain those same Punk ethics lol), but I've dreamed of being able to work with music. Got no solid plan right now, but you can bet I have a notebook full of sketches of guitars and unique body designs that I'd love to one day see in real life. Maybe if I get my hands on some tools and a knowledgeable buddy to help me out, I can make a little Tim Sway guitar of my own lol. You're an inspiration man, keep on doing what you're doing.

Awesome man. Keep fighting the good fight and blazing your own path. It takes a lot of work, skipped meals and stubbornness to constantly swim upstream, but it's enjoyable because you're doing what you want to do!

These guitars are beautiful, man. Punk is in the heart and soul, brother.

I'm 71 yrs old .... and punk rock wasn't really my thing... But , I know creativity and good thing when I see it. Brother you got the magic !!! Pretty good song writing too !!♡!!

Hey, thanks man! I think the message of the song is relatable to all who have aged and had their youthful angst and civil disobedience change with them.

I grew up in Sunderland where the Toy Dolls came from and they changed my life singing punk songs about my town! Fisticuffs in Frederick street is an anthem of my youth

I miss the scene and tapes and zines. I brought all that DIY ethic to the bands I worked with in the 1990s. What a blast! I'm watching. Psyched!!!

First songs I learned on the bass were Misfits songs. I noticed the stage right 15 watt amp, killer cheap amp, I own that one and it's 5 watt little brother. Awesome guitar and channel. You inspired me to convert my old acoustic bass into a hollow body with old vinyl record pickguard and all. Keep fighting the system!

I love the feeling the song you wrote captures. It's a feeling of resignation, of nihilism and of having become old or a Spießer (German word for something I can't express in English). A feeling that I feel even though I haven't even seen my years as a young adult yet. Which makes me sad. I feel like my youth ended before I ever had one and I wish I knew how to get one. As for punk rock: the ethic of diy really appeals to me. Lately and because of my fandom of Rammstein, I have been informing myself about punk bands in the GDR, Feeling B to be precise. And even though Feeling B were a fun-punk band and often not seen as real punks by other punks, I think that not giving a frick about appealing to the punk scene made them punk af. Usually, they weren't particularly against the political system of the GDR, but their guitarist said in an interview that when lyrics were against the system, they'd just sing it in English and the people from the agency for "state security" (it was more for spying on their own people) wouldn't be able to do anything because they didn't understand English. Another aspect of their punkness I appreciate is how they didn't give a damn about in order to officially be allowed to work as a musician, they would need to study music, they just made music anyway. And the quality of their shows was... on a new level. When you look down the quality scale looking for new levels. Basically, they'd get REALLY drunk. But I digress. My point is that I wish I had such an adventurous youth. And that I wish I played punk rock guitar. Well, that I just wouldn't give a fuck and were a cool person.

Truly awesome! Punk always has its place too! :)
