VIDEO: Building a CBG with limited resources.

Hi, I made this video five years ago and agonized about posting it for public viewing. The reason is that I made the video and guitar kit for my son, to encourage him into building guitars, so some comments are directed at him only. He lives 2500km away.

Anyway, he said it was a good instructional video. He had the guitar built and playable on a long Sunday afternoon. This is a rank beginners’ tutorial; my son is an auto technician and has a mechanical workshop with only limited woodwork tools. I explain what to do and use with limited resources and knowledge.

He built four CBGs and now builds full-size guitars. His metal shop is now a fully functional wood shop. Enjoy, I hope. It does not include neck, fingerboard, or fretting, tasks.

     Thank you very much for this! I have three projects ahead of this one, but I'll be trying this.

     Cheers!
