Talk about doing things the hard way...

He turns out some nice guitars. I watched a few of his vidieos, he's got some chops with that hand saw. Who needs CNC machinery when you have a sharp handsaw and a chisel.
He has a great way to make a template for a neck slot. I will find that vid again and post a link, it's easier just to see it rather than trying to explain.
Here is the one where he uses epoxy to make templates.
