Ep 10 - TINY Pieces! - Hand Tool Only Acoustic Travel Guitar Build - A Guitar from a 4x4 FENCE POST

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and Ben's home workshop.

In this episode, Ben Glues the back to the sides and prepares the top piece. This includes modifying a compass tool so he can cut the perfect circles for the sound hole and rosette inlay. Did you know that in all of Ben's years of Luthiery, he's NEVER done a rosette inlay before?

You asked and Ben will deliver...our eccentric (read insane) Luthier will be building an entire guitar out of a single piece of Mahogany! With hand tools only...hopefully!
