Hi all,

I've just started watching this, and it's immensely entertaining. Link below.

Yes I follow the channel closely. Ben seems to be adding in a bit more shameless self promotion, but he is entertaining and there is a lot to be learnt

It has got me beat how that dude gets anything done...
He is the most disorganised Luthier i have ever seen. Normal Luthiers have clamps ready, not having to go searching for them. ........
He really needs to not have a few brekky bongs before he starts :P

[stan]

Is that your secret DB?

[dingobass]

Just about every vid of his I have seen, he spends more time rambling on like a stoner than actually getting anything done.
Classic example was the masking tape and CA glue trick for attaching sandpaper to sanding beam.
13 minutes of rambling to show a 3 minute trick.....
And in case you were wondering, no, I dont really rate him very highly... and I am not the only one who thinks that way.

Haha see what you mean DB, he's got the clamps stashed everywhere!

He looks at all his timber like he is seeing it for the first time, choose it before hand, then just get into it....

And did you notice how he put his shooting plane down on the bench?
NEVER sit your plane down flat on any surface, great way to put a chip in the blade....
Always lay them on their side or have a block of wood under the back heel to keep that blade off the bench!

He does waffle a bit and should be edited, take out the unessary stuff. But he is very prolific content wise. I don't know how he has time to build. Digging watching the Euro Championships. Well done Wales.
