    Dan should get his own TV show. I'd pay to watch his daily repair work.

    Nice one Uncle Dan. I don't think many people at all realise how much work goes into anything guitar related.

    I didn't think I would be that interested in this....but I couldn't tear myself away from watching! A real pleasure watching such a craftsman at work. I bet the local guitarists thank their lucky stars they have a luthier such as this so close to them.

    The amount of knowledge that Dan shares has helped me become a much better bass builder. I have his videos by content filed on my laptop. I owe much to him.

    Dan has probably forgotten more about guitar repair than most people will ever know. It is a tremendous learning experience to watch this master at work.

    On one of the few builds that I did, I saved the ebony dust from the fingerboard that the dremel made while cutting the inlay holes. The inlays I made were abalone, cut to banjo style. I mixed the ebony dust with the epoxy and set in the inlays. It sure did give it a clean look for a beginner like me.
