When it comes to the videos always remember, perfect is the enemy of good. We don't need big screen production value, we just want to see you build guitars.
Nah, I like the perfectionist quality about him. Love his attention to detail and well thought-out execution
I like that format. More casual and personal.
Yeah, love the format - fun walking around and seeing everything… really cool. Thanks!
Really like the junior style....
Yeah, more of this. Also miss the sessions where you guys played a little music. I’m nosy and like to peak into work shops. Far more interesting than most makers think.
Im really excited for both you and Mat. Awesome stuff
I'd be very happy to see more content like this! The more produced videos are good too, but it's not always needed
Seeing major steps of different models and woods being built is great, the process and thoughts behind the process is great, and regularity is very important, we’ve all seen shows/channels fade for different reasons, you’ve already put lots of instructional videos out…but I do love watching the step by step progress of a single build
So great to have you back...love the format, or any one you choose. Owe you a ton for guiding me through my first build and you still have the best luthier videos out there!
Please do continue with the format. Always pleasure to watch your videos, and kudos to Matt.
This is great - love to see the big picture every once in a while! You guys are great and congrats to Matt on his 99 percenter!
I'm happy with this! I'm happy with anything you can put out. You're the only guys I watch 😊
I like the update. Some really exciting stuff coming up.
I do like this format, I really enjoy seeing the updates.
Nice video! Loved seeing more of the big picture of what's developing in the shop.
Like this video a lot. I needed this to get motivated to finish some projects that I’ve been putting off for no real reason. Your shop videos are always watched and appreciated.
Always good to have more content. Keep 'em coming!
Beautiful single cut. Kudos!
I really like this format. It’s not that I don’t like your full production videos but I really do think there’s value in the more informal updates and progress videos to let us peer in and see what’s going on in your workshop. It’s hard to wrap my head around how many different guitars you’ve got in some stage of construction given your backlog and all these projects. Amazing!
Appreciate the video, totally makes sense being really busy...like all of the new stuff
Keep getting after it Chris and Matt. I think a lot of us will be glad to watch 10-20 minute videos, and when a longer one is warranted, don't hesitate to put the details in that you know will be useful.
Wisdom and experience can only be conveyed when they are conveyed ;)
Great video Chris, always good to see you!
I would watch you guys tie your shoes... beautiful work!! Congrats to Matt on the Jr and that blue in the blue spruce is amazing. Keep at it!!!!
I could see my set of the tree mahogany in the background. Can’t wait to see you get started on that.
Keep them coming!!
It's really good to see you again 🙂 Please don't be a stranger! 🙂
That thing is gorgeous!
Love the video format, Chris. We do not need to stand on formalities here. 😉 A always appreciate seeing what you guys are up to. Thanks for the share!!
Yes I like this short format! Just show us your talent and we'll enjoy it! Once in a while, when you can, sprinkle a long form video! Greetings from Hollywood California.
This format worked well, and cameras these days can make a lot out of a little👍
Absolutely love Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras! Can't wait to hear it!!! 😍
Always good to see content from you guys, and just seeing progress on guitars around the shop.
This is SO sick! That junior is so dope! I love the contours and the binding. Beautiful job and I am junior fanatic and would LOVE to one day get a driftwood Junior if ever possible. Keep making and keep loving your work. Love your content guys!😃
Looked like an angel on the back of that acoustic. WOW!! Beautiful on so many levels!! Congrats Matt on your "first" build!! Looking forward to hearing Dylan wail on it!
What I really notice is when a new video pops up in my feed. Hey they're back!!!
Love the format.
It's always nice to see you in good shape. Maybe it's time to get a factory like the Taylor, but smaller?
Like the content, sometimes keeping it simple helps us new to Luthier not feel overwhelmed. I have learned allot watching and subscribing to you channel.
I don’t mind what format the video takes, as long as both Chris and Matt are in there and we get to watch at least one per week.
Glad to see you planning more videos! Is it just me or there's only sound on the left channel on this one??
I like this format :)
While I would still like the formal videos, I definitely enjoy the "what we are up to" videos.
I agree 100 percent
Yep, just pick up the camera for a few minutes once a week & show us what's happening, we love to know
Short format is good for quick updates. I thought for sure the "retail guitar" was going to be an announcement of a Driftwood acoustic model available for $999! Oh well :(
I'm more interested in seeing content on the building process! No fancy video production is required! Keep the content coming!
dat snakewood ❤
If I had my way…., multi-camera, daily live stream with one camera on the ready for up close interaction. I’m a 52-year-old semi disabled guy that simply cannot get my fill of this flavor of luthier-ism. If you must do something top secret, fill the void with a montage of Matt’s lacquer jokes! Also, offer as many dedicated videos as you see fit to do (for example, that extremely old guitar that you are about to wrap up (please, don’t skimp on the closing details)!! ….. ”if” I had my way 😉.
I like this type of video
I know what the fingerboard looks like. Y’all need to subscribe so you don’t miss it!
Hey Chris…
What’s the story on the “Ancient Cypress” soundboard???
That’s a nasty burn on your arm, Brother. Hand-bender mishap?
Yeah I got bit by the side bender about two weeks ago, but I’m recovering.
Don’t ask me how I knew what it was from 🤔🫣🤫
I’m glad that it wasn’t any worse.
👍😎
Nice job, thought you guys passed away.
Personally this is more the type of stuff I watch the production can be nice but I feel the just doing is best. I don't build just live Vicarious though others.
They have a vitamin that cures color blindness
This is fine. I’m all for increasing content, even if it means reducing production values occasionally.
Nice stuff. Gnarly arm burn? Not so nice.
😂my wife saw me watching this so I had to explain who you were. She gave this. "Humpf,he needs a haircut!
Eddie's Guitars?
What's happening with the 3000 year old guitar build?
Must be nice to make a guitar just to express your current ideas and artistry.
Great guitars sound great how about that 3,300 year old guitar😅
😄👍
Is it just me that has no sound? I have sound on everything else.
I like getting to see my wife every day rather than only on date nights when she's dolled up. Sometimes we don't get a date for quite a while because life happens. I wouldn't care what she looked like by the time I saw her again lol. I think it's kinda like that.
Sounds like you guys could use someone on staff to just do content creation part time.
Yes
@@DriftwoodGuitars I’m local. Let’s chat.
This format is 100% fine. You’re on UA-cam. The “you” in “UA-cam” strongly implies amateur production values. It doesn’t need to be made into “ProTube” to get views or be engaging and worthwhile. That’s the YOU part. We are here for that part.
I like the format. It's like Ted Woodford's approach. Don't do tutorials, just let us look over your shoulder while you do what you do.
WOOHOO way to go Matt! That’s one sexy guitar 🤤 So proud ❤
Great idea, really like seeing your repairs and builds in progress. Yall always have great content. Thanks for sharing your craft experience with All of us.
We really missed you guys..I was worried that something may happened 😢…I really liked the format to keep in touch with your community!
I enjoyed the "shop updates" format.
I would like to see your bracing pattern for the soundboard. The Tap tone on the Da Vinci sounded really good.
Hey Bud ... A little bit of somethin' is better than a whole lot of nothin' ... I am game for whatever y'all put out! Congrats to Matt!
Great video Chris...........love the raw videos........keep em coming!
I like this format and this video a lot…. Can’t wait to see my guitar finished! Most excellent, Chris!
Great idea! Anything you put out to give a glimpse at the behind the scenes sparks ideas in my own guitars. Every video makes me want to get out to the shop to try something new!
Always love the content regardless of the frequency! Have ya thought about live streaming?
I think you could just strap-on a Go Pro and film some pov guitar building, maybe with minimal real-time commentary, and you’d have compelling, low-production videos.
I'm kind of shocked by some of your videos! You certainly make beautiful custom acoustics! But to cut some of the other guitars is ridiculous. Why not look inside with cameras, lights and mirrors, and give these guitars away to young players who can't afford a new guitar. You're not promoting new players. You should rethink this promoting of your guitars!
Was the snakewood difficult to work with as binding? Isn’t it super dense, hard and brittle?
I'm cool with the back to the roots style videos. One of my favorites was the Talisker Storm video. I even tracked down a bottle...not a big fan of it. It was good, but not my jam. lol
Keep 'em comin' man. Class
Also, I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions on the Ancient Cypress. I bought a set myself so once I get better at building, I'm going to use it for a build.
Thanks for the update. Nice to see your current in-progress guitars.
Good looking work! It'd be great to see some of that inlay work over those couple of weeks that you are focusing on inlays.
Only one audio channel working, makes it annoying to listen on headphones.
I like this format. It's sort of like a teaser.
Great video. Make them when you can.
Hire some more artists in Woodworkers
the video has no sound or i have a problem with my phone ?
How about a 4000 year old guitar build ?
The Video Format is fine
Awesome. I like these videos
Cool format, thank you!
Like the format!
If you're that busy, that's really awesome! It's always great to hear from you guys no matter what you have. Thanks for the video!
Love seeing what is happening in a working shop!
Glad to hear we will see more of you guys!
Dude, that sassafras guitar is gorgeous! Had to rewatch that a couple of times….that cypress looks like an old barn door, and paired with the crazy beautiful back and sides. Good to see you’re still at it. I’ve been playing the sh’t out the three I made, and I have to tell you, the maple one is a cannon. Would love to jam sometime! Take care and look forward to future vids. ✌️
Matt did a great job so far! Can't wait to hear this one!
No sound?
I listened right after you and the sound was fine.
@@yadaroni looks like my headphones are tied to one channel 😅
audio only on left channel for me
Im not looking for perfect production videos. The content...its cool to see building and methods used or the tools but the buisness side of it as well. Ted Woodford is this example. The video production isn't great but his repairs and talking content and his playing too.. but he talks about the buisness of repair. So mixed grab of things is cool.
