    I’m 71 and my father was a master craftsman. Watching you takes me back to my youth watching my father using the same tools as you. I learned by watching and listening. I do my own repair work on my guitars, I still have the tools my father used and I use them. You are so incredibly talented and I watch all of your videos because your work ethic is so inspiring. I hope that you will forever continue doing what you do. It has almost become a lost art because of modern machinery. I know that you have a CNC machine but to compete today it is a necessity. People have no patience anymore. They want it right now.

    Beautiful work! ❤
    As an old woodworker who avoided all power tools as much as possible, I have a word of advice. When you put down a plane of any kind on the bench, it helps to put it down on its side - avoids those tiny accidental dents in the edge.

    As always, absolutely fantastic! I always follow your builds closely as I build guitars in my shed. It's really helpful seeing how yours are crafted with your heart and soul going into them. Whoever the lucky people are who buy your completed instruments are left owning a little piece of you I think.

    Daisy
    I love your videos, so honest and down to earth and the hand tool craft you apply . I am not a Luthier, but I am a joiner and have built a couple of guitars over the years, just for my own pleasure. However nothing like the pieces of art you build.
    I was taught by someone I greatly admired, my father, who was a professional joiner for over 60 years. One the most valuable lessons learned was to "connect" the body to the tool; such as when sawing or using a hand plane, your shoulder elbow, hand and plane should all be in line with the direction of travel of the tool. This gives you much more control and much less chance of (strain) injury. I spotted you doing this superbly when squaring up your neck plank, but then spotted you reaching over uncomfortably when shooting your side pieces square. Perhaps consider turning your bench hook / shooting board around 90 degrees and it will be more comfortable to work.
    Keep pursuing your craft and hopefully sharing for us all.

    Absolutely beautiful work! And so peaceful to watch too.
    Just as a small suggestion, I'd avoid wearing any type of gloves, but particularly the black fabric ones when using any spinning machinery such as when you were changing and cleaning the paper on your drum sander with the guard removed. Personally I had a free life lesson when using the pillar drill with similar gloves on I forgot to take off and just barely caught the corner of the drill with my glove next thing it was yanking my whole hand in as I was scrambling to turn it off, and I got away very luckily with a big blister and sore finger. I've since also installed dead-mans foot kill switch which gives me peace of mind. 😁

    I've been so interested in guitars lately. My dad always played growing up, and I started a little when I was younger - but never really got into it. 20 years later I can't get enough of it. Especially the engineering and craftsmanship behind it. It's such a beautiful process. There's just something so special about making instruments out of wood - and the absolute attention to detail behind it. From shaving millimeters off, getting something perfectly square, and getting the angles just perfect - it's seriously impressive and wonderfully beautiful.
    How did you end up getting into this, Daisy? Are any of your family members into it as well?

    Daisy, it is absolutely amazing how skilled you are at such a young age. I’m sure you get these questions often, but
    1) how long have you trained to do this?
    2) is this your private shop?
    3) you have an amazing collection of tools. Are they all yours?
    And, you have not allowed your Tourettes hold you back. You persevere I find that very encouraging!
    I’m happy I discovered your channel!
    Cheers! 😊

    I put strings on my first owned guitar again after 7 years of it not having strings. i have three guitars. my first guitar helped me therapeutically. videos like these help me to restring ol'betsy, you have to understand i did not have strings on her because i practiced so much before. so there is some considerable fret buzz on the 1st and second frets and the fret board is worn down the as well. i was waiting to recondition her, but she is like me. resilient!!

    Daisy that was totally stunning you skill and expertise along with calm and relaxing music (perfect choice) had me spell bound and the time just flew by.
    I wonder if you are the same as me when I use a freshly sharpened plane that crisp sound as the blade just peels a very thin layer of the wood, gives me shivers and tremendous satisfaction knowing that i have made that happen, I am sure you get that especially as your concentration level is so high.
    I can't wait to see part 2 of the build and when you present the work of art to your customer.

    If you would like to make your drum sanded preform significantly better look into converting it to use velcro paper it's very easy you get a roll of 4"psa velcro hook to install on your drum then just buy velcro paper not only is it faster and easier to change paper but you get a better finish because of the bit of padding the velcro provides and your paper will last longer.

    By the by, Ms Daisy, speaking of neurodivergency, I'm currently reading a murder mystery series by author Harry Bingham called "Fiona Griffiths."
    The entire series is set 90% in Wales, which is where the protagoist is a constable (South Wales) and where the author either is originally from, or spent his childhood. It's not really clear.
    Anyway, check it out. I've never been into murder mysteries, but I bought the entire series on Kindle.
    Oh, and it was recommended by Mark Henwick, author of the "Bite Back" series, and the "Long Way Home" series.

    Would be nice to know what the woods are. Was that Iroko for the neck and head? Perhaps ye'll tell us in the next instalment.
    Was trained in furniture and still do the odd "fine" thing, but mostly been in the building trade, latterly doing eco homes, but I still twitched when ye placed your plane sole plate down on the bench. I was taught to always lay a plane on its side to preserve the carefully sharpened edge. Or have a wee stick to rest the nose on so the blade is lifted. Having said that, I'm sure I do all sorts of things I ought not to do. 😆 Lovely work.
